Not everyone has cell service. Glad you do but I don't.I don't understand the love for sat radio unless it has content that you need to have and can't get anywhere else. Other than that it is obsolete technology when we have pretty much ubiquitous LTE coverage and you can get several GB per month from your mobile carrier for a reasonable price - even here in Canada where these companies are infamous for their high prices. IMHO Slacker, Spotify, Apple Music, etc are WAY better than sat radio. I use the Slacker in the car 90% of the time and 10% of the time I want to listen to an entire album so I will use Spotify on my phone with BT.

My wife and I have several "dead zones" that we drive through on a regular basis. Cellular data is NOT an option when we're going through the mountains or in certain areas of Cape Cod (where her family has a cottage).
I've been PERFECTLY happy with satellite radio since 2002 and got a lifetime subscription in 2006. If I have to buy a new radio and rig it to the dashboard, somehow, it might actually work better than having it built into the touch screen (depending on how the steering wheel controls are interfaced with it).
i'm fine with an external portable radio for satellite, my concern is how are we going to get the sound to the car? bluetooth is one option, but i would imagine that'll affect your phone's connection to the car (only one bluetooth device can be connected at a time, right?)... FM transmitter is a horrific option, i guess, unless there's an antenna wire that can be spliced into similar to the FM direct adapter some of the portable radios offer that cut off outside FM reception when the satellite radio is active...but we don't know if that will even be an option.
