I just received an email from SiriusXM wanting me to subscribe. We have it in my wife's car and like it. I'm thinking of taking their deal for my car. Pretty inexpensive rate and they are giving a free Echo Dot with the subscription.
My question is regarding that intrusive thing called Alexa. Can I just have the Dot be a bluetooth-type speaker so I can stream the XM stations while in the studio? Will I need to activate her in order to do that? I don't need/want to turn her on. Will she still be listening to everything I do and giggling? I realize it would need to be hooked into my network to enable streaming.
I've done some searching but haven't found a difinitive answer yet. Was hoping for some real world experience from someone here.
Thx and Happy New Year!
