Hi Joe, thanks for your post. We'd love to see SiriusXM added to the Ultra. If there's any development on this, we'll let you know. If you'd like to see an integration, please also ask SiriusXM so they can see some interest We're doing our best on our side. Thanks!

I asked SiriusXM over chat about integration, and this is the response I got back.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment. Currently, SiriusXM can be streamed on various connected devices, including Amazon Alexa, Sonos, Bose, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, certain smart TVs, and gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. Unfortunately, WIIM streaming devices are not listed as compatible for streaming SiriusXM. If you have any of the supported devices, you can enjoy SiriusXM streaming at home with an active subscription. For more information, you can visit siriusxm.com/athome.

Currently, there is no information available in our Knowledge Base regarding future plans to support SiriusXM streaming on WIIM devices. For updates on supported devices, you can check siriusxm.com/athome.

I would also still like to see SiriusXM added to the built in list of services. I bought 2 WiiM product in the beginning because of listing SiriusXM coming soon. Gave up and gave away the WiiM's to friends and purchased NAD's and Bluesound instead. Would enjoy coming back to WiiM if you ever intergrade SiriusXM into the list. Family loves channels on SiriusXM but they are not going to cast from a phone to a device, to much of a hassle for them.

Is SiriusXM a US only service? Then most of us will not benefit from the integration.

Why do you think there are more non-US users of WiiM?

There is a big world outside US

Even though we can cast it from the SiriusXM app, would love native support for it within the Wiim app. Would make for a better UX.

Another vote for Sirius XM

I unsubscribed from Sirius about a month ago. They call my cell phone every day. They email me at least three days a week. They send me letters in the mail twice a week. Im never going back.

If you are using Lyrion there is a newly released SiriusXM plugin which I’m told works well. Not something I’d ever use being from Blighty

SirrusXM is available in Canada too. They have 33 million subscribers, so a bit more than a niche product. Their marketing is annoying, and they always try to resubscribe you at the highest price possible and you have to negotiate a lower price, but they have some pretty good channels, including my favorite Indie 1.0.

Now you really got me wondering if SirrusXM and SiriusXM are different services ...

Just did the same thing. Was hopeful for Sirius on my ultra but moved on to a Bluesound Node.

If SiriusXM want more subscriber they should incorporate every imaginable devices instead of selected devices. Look how Amazon put many stores out of business because it’s one stop shop for everything. They even sell toothpick and shipped out to you.
