I miss the times when Brain Cooley review cars back in early 2010's

[@kasio22B]

I think he still does, but they only available on paid tv and if only roadshow would throw a bone on youtube every once in awhile. He should run for an official of some sort in this crazy stupid state. One vote here if he dares...^^

[@fhm4]

I miss Cooley reviewing cars :(

[@lukerinderknecht2982]

Oh geeze, here come all the comments demanding Cooley do car reviews again 👀

[@jonathanramirez232]

He should tho

[@thearousedeunuch]

@@jonathanramirez232 Yeah, he should.

[@patrickhilden]

Welcome back Brian Cooley!

[@zuti071]

Somehow FM radio still have soul.

[@mikecronis]

Internet access is not available on most highways in between the great expanse between cities, which leaves only XM.

[@lexusfan100]

Can u do car reviews like u used to

[@kenoday7562]

Tell them to bring back Quadraphonic radio! Nothing like listening to Black Water in Quad! It was "quadtastic"!

[@daveroush4896]

Thanks Brian! 🤙

[@rcollinge5818]

How sbout the USB option. I load my music on a flashdrive to be played thru the radio. No fees, no commercials no lost connections !

[@platonicguardian6923]

I use an actual MP3 player.

[@reyb461]

Now I understand why drivers are so distracted

[@terricoe2715]

How do I get any of this if I don't have a screen?

[@cmdrdarwin3682]

I shut down my SXM on both vehicles due to continuous reception issues & overseas knucklehead call centers. Brian is correct, depending on the brand of vehicle, the HD radio is either really simple & cool or it’s extremely frustrating. I refuse to stream music since they have all but cut musicians royalties out. Why support the stupid streaming company & not the people who actually created the music?!

[@druklk42]

Some of those features have been out since the beginning of time. I have been able to program my radio to find a song I like or live sports its extra tho

[@erikgonzalez2278]

I still like XM if they keep renewing my subscription at a discount on the yearly I'll stay with them. Plus it's the same channel and signal cross state no matter where I go. They play good stuff. I never listen to the radio. Radio streaming apps suck.

[@MrUkielover]

1:09 “Now you can find your favorite teams”...*Selects* : “Cleveland Browns” Immediately lost trust in Brian Cooley’s decision making skills

[@Jwdude123]

Cooley is back

[@djcoronel]

I have HD radio, but it doesn't look like it does in the video. My car doesn't allow me (I don't think) to exclusively choose HD. The HD icons just pop up whenever HD is available on the station I'm listening to. I have a 2016 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport.

[@craigmerkey8518]

I hate SiriusXM sound quality and range interruptions.... when the free service is up I have to tolerate the junk mail as well... I prefer connecting to CarPlay and continuing where I left off from my phone

[@disciprine]

"scan live streams for the song" Or you can just play the song on Spotify 🤣

[@rdbull5890]

Sirius had that function like 15 years ago when you bought their aftermarket head units. But when satellite radio started coming from the factory, it was phased out.

[@emofreako]

@@rdbull5890 it was still available on most aftermarket radios when using an external satellite tuner. It's only the factory units that didn't have it.

[@mikecronis]

Internet access outside of cities on highways is usually not available.

[@disciprine]

@@mikecronis yeah, but you can save song offline on Spotify so.......

[@wendysremix]

1:17 this is a uconnect feature not a 360L feature theyve had this for years in uconnect

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Got rid of SiriusXM due to the horrible sound quality. And they continue to push more channels into the limited bandwidth they have, resulting in even worse quality today than ever before.

[@BrogeKilrain]

XM surely realizes everyone streaming a variety of other stations and music now. You just don't need it

[@nholt]

How does it stream? Is it connected to some kind of cell service?

[@mikejohnson1228]

yes, it needs a wi-fi connection (cell phone hot spot)

[@GnosisMan50]

My God! There is so much going on with radio stations. It's maddening.

[@azizbass]

Wow we got a whole 9 minutes and some change of Brian Cooley if this went on for 20 minutes we would have got a whole episode of oncars....

[@erikgonzalez2278]

Why doesn't Cooley review anymore.

[@danielwebb5605]

Siriusxm 360L. I'm not sure that name is chunky enough. Add more nomenclature please

[@RANDsreviews]

Good to see u behind a wheel even though it's not a car review. Miss your reviewwss!

[@CD-qi8oy]

I think most people don't even know what Hd radio is I listen to some HD stations but honestly it's crap signal pisses me off every time it breaks out. Plus a lot of the programming is lifeless and if you listen long enough there's many repeats

[@howtobebasic2122]

my cars radio has AM/Fm with CD and Cassette :(

[@thearousedeunuch]

You can upgrade that. :)

[@howtobebasic2122]

all i have is AM FM with A CD player and that's it

[@samsadeniz]

Sirius is old technology. Prefer TuneIn free or paid version.

[@rabit818]

Bring back the iPod.

[@KJSCalderon]

1:09 why do I listen to a factory of sadness?

[@kevinbarry71]

Problem with satellite radio is the absolutely terrible audio quality. It is so compressed it is unlistenable, especially for music.

[@dragasoni]

Kevin Barry - I agree, it sounds like a low bitrate MP3. It sounded a lot better when Sirius and XM we’re separate companies.

[@knollycooper2387]

Homes

[@jvk813]

Tune in is no longer free now.

[@californiazepher]

Your deejays get in the way, add nothing and represent the problem that killed radio. Don't let them kill Sirius/XM. And how about a Four Seasons channel?

[@brad_neal]

Dude, I totally agree. I hate the whole DJ thing. I am there to listen to music, not some throwback from the golden era with their really bad cliche song intro's. And dump all the bs channels so you can increase bandwidth that will increase sound quality.

[@eddiegray793]

I just drive the car ni radio
