I'm in a 2011 Hyundai Sonata this week, with a manufacturing date of 5/11/2010, so I know this puppy is less than 3 months old, and thus should have a free subscription still valid.

Guess what... The satellite radio still says, "unauthorized channel"... so they've disabled the free subscription...
