Is there an additonal subscription fee similar to OnStar with this unit?

not really a subscription fee. certain models and stores offer lifetime maps with the unit but don't assume it comes with lifetime maps. Do not buy the traffic adapter. Its worthless.

Fees depend on exactly WHAT you buy. If you buy a 7710LM, you'll get Lifetime Maps included in the price. If you buy a model 7710 WITHOUT the LM designation, you'll have to pay for map updates. The same should apply for the replacement 7720 model. You'd be a fool to buy a model without the LM designation. NOTE: I've found the 7710 to be EXTREMELY disappointing and can NOT recommend it. I'd be leery of the 7720 model myself.

No, there are no additional fees that I am aware of. I have been using my TripMaker 7710 for the past year without any other fees.

No additional fee when I purchased one. I found it too complicated for me and I gave it to one of my sons.

Have never used OnStar; I am using initial service; I read that to have availabilty of more frequent updates than the free annual, then there is a subscription charge.

No fees at all. But make sure they have your channels. I lost 5 channels after I bought. Buy 509 is newer one.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

It may have had one but I'm not aware of it, I do pay a monthly fee for all needed service. We added it the week it became available and have not had any problems.

nope and that's why I returned it. You still have to have monthly service, nowhere in there a does it say that. I fully installed the entire system and could not get to work with my phone until I called them and they tried to sign me up for the monthly fee. I sent it back and Amazon refunded me my money after reading their ad. Sorry.

No, there is no subscription required. They do periodic software updates, but they are free.

Yes, it is. But it will remain on same account. For example, I have a $12 per month subscription for my car and recently added one for my home for only an additional $9.99 per month. Best thing I ever did. Make sure to ask for all subscription options. I got the least expensive, but had to interrogate the heck out of the sales rep. :)

NO, there is no monthly fees. This is great unit and I still use it almost every day. But, it basically has the same functionality of a smart phone (Iphone, Android phone), plus a $2-$3 app (e.g tunein) and a speaker (like Ihome or JBL) designed for smart phone. Any stations that you can get on this radio, can be gotten on the smart phone or a tablet with WiFi and then routed to the speaker.

No monthy membership fee like Sirius satellite radio. However you do need a wifi connection to the internet, and a wireless modem to transmit to the radio. If I recall correctly, you need a computer to select the radio software.I am sorry if I don't remember everything, but I sold mine several years ago when I got my iphone, which I use with the TuneIn radio app.

Careful. They only gave me 60 days, not the advertised 90 and you need to end the subscription if you do not want to be charged the $10/month after 60 days. Also I expect they will add taxes and fees on top of that without letting you know how much they are in advance. Thats what they do with other charges.

Subscription is not included - You'll have to contact Sirius directly and set it up (when you have the radio, the ID number is required). They offer a few different programming options with a few different payment options. Enjoy!

My understanding is .... yes it is a paid subscription. When I bought the ifit module it included one year subscription and as I recall is 50-something dollars a year.

There is no monthly subscription fee. The unit holds information for up to 3,000 users.

There is a fee only if you subscribe to a live traffic service or something similar. There is no monthly fee to use the GPS to map your trips and get directions. However, at some point you'll want/need to update your maps, which you'll pay a fee for. OnStar requires a monthly fee, but it does more than GPS mapping.

No monthly service fee. The only charge is the $1.99 if you need additional "e keys" for family or temporary guests.

No.... You must either initiate a contract with Dish or pay an additional $7 per month to add to your already established dish account

Yes, about $9 per month. Looked online and it seems these can be controlled by some other systems to avoid the cost but I have not had time to research it. Good product but the other issue I have is they charge another $9 for each additional house you add instead of giving you a break at a reduced rate. Looking to add third house so may have to figure out how to change to one of the non-fee Z-Wave services.
