@sfar - I understood that you were referring to streaming over a cellular connection. That is why I suggested downloading the content to the phone, instead of streaming from the cellular connection. You can download hours of cached content from Radio Paradise onto your mobile device and stream it via bluetooth or AUX connection to your car system. Same with Spotify and likely all of the other streaming services.
Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
I’ve a new to me 2019 Volvo XC60 with Harmon Kardon stereo system and XM Sirius. Sounds a bit lifeless and not sure of either system quality or signal quality of Sirius. My older Volvo I fitted with Focal flax drivers and ran an iPod. Much better overall.
Should I explore a different service and/or replace drivers? Not looking for aural Nirvana here, just much better than MP3 sounding dreck. Thanks

With an unlimited data plan, I stream Tidal at full resolution on my phone and use Bluetooth to control and listen to in in my Acura RDX. On the interstates I've never had a bandwidth issue. In areas of more spotty coverage I just choose from a few playlists and several albums that I keep downloaded to the phone. The "Acura Premium Sound System" is OK...but only OK. Very nice sound overall except tor a god-awful peak that makes some percussion sounds loud as hell...almost drowning out other frequencies. At medium to low volumes it's not too bad, but turn it up loud and you find yourself gritting your teeth at those moments.
