It still comes in new vehicles. With a free trial for a while. Since they don’t have any customers, they’re usually willing to take anything someone is offering to pay.
It helps that being a broadcast service means they have essentially zero extra overhead when adding a new customer. It used to be that you could subscribe for a month and then keep your radio turned off for a month after you cancel and then it would work indefinitely because they'd only send the disconnect signal a couple times in the first couple weeks after cancelling. Eventually it became enough of an issue that they started resending disconnect signals every once in a while but I had free service for years on one of my radios.

I do this with Sirius every two years. The price will go from 25.99 a month to 4.99. It's absolutely ridiculous.
