I was going to suggest signing up for the internet or phone part and then streaming or just using a headphone jack or bluetooth to your various radios.

But I find the easiest way is to call them up at the renewal time and negotiate a cheaper package. The key here is to be nice but firm in not being able to afford the cost, especially for multiple vehicles and or some that are not used all the time, and be sure not to have a credit card or debit card tied to the account via online setup or any other way.

I always request a paper billing and I always make a "one time payment". I've found that if you do it any other way, they automatically renew and charge you. I've even had them charge me after I thought I had removed my info off their website or just made a "one time payment" on the website. Now I do it over the phone, and never have an issue.

When the "promotional rate" runs out, they will automatically renew you at the higher rate when they send you the paper bill, which typically comes after this renewal date. Thats when I call, explain that the cost is too much, and they start offering deals again. Once I get the one I want, then I make a one-time payment and its usually another 5 months for $25 deal.

Sometimes I just get tired of it and cancel it all together. Doesn't take long for the "we want you back" promotional rates to start flooding the mailbox.
