may i suggest also..

when buying a unit definately check out the new starmate 4.

probably the best unit out there, unless your getting an indash cd player with it bult in.

 

 

but for best reception to your stock radio get a fm direct adapter, almost a must for any satelite radio, your reception wont be to bad without it, but for perfect clarity you gotta get one (pick it up on ebay cheap).. and a hardwire kit for the power, so you dont have wires and plug in your cig lighter outlet.

 

also with the new style units.. they have docking stations.. the older models did not like mine. so now when you buy a home kit, you can just pull your starmate 4 off the docking station taking it in the house.. pop it in your home docking station and listen.. or to another vehicle with a docking station and pop it in and go.

 

 

starmate 4 (pause, rewind) (game alerts) store up to 30 channel presets

I voted XM cause that's what's installed in my car. I wanted Sirius though.

They make a simple, fairly inexpensive unit that swaps out your XM "brain" for Sirius. Buy it.

My roomate has XM, I have Sirius. XM really sucks in comparison, and that's ignoring the far superior talk radio and sports packages Sirius has; most of the music channels are better, NO COMMERCIALS on Sirius music channels, etc.

I may have to get this part. There are a lot of advertisement commercials on XM.

I went Sirius when Stern was picked up. The first week alone paid for the unit in laughs. :) There are ads on the talk stations, but they're few and far between. There's NO commercials on the music stations. No censoring either.

 

I did have the misfortune of listening to XM in my sister's car. Their channel lineup is confusing, and the names of their channels are even worse. (WTF kind of music is on "Lucy"?) Overall, I think Sirius is much better thought out and run.

 

Granted, you might have some sports considerations, so I'd look into which carries what sport. But I don't listen to sports so it wasn't an issue for me. Also, if you want to play your radio in a public setting (say at work), you might want XM for it's censored channels.

 

Right now, the only thing I hate (hate, Hate, HATE) about Sirius is Jason Ellis. He's cracked his head too many times on the pavement and thinks he's the second Howard. But people seem to think he's funny or something so he's now on TWO of my favorite channels. GRRR.

Yea, the commercials are starting to piss me off. I'm thinking, wait, I pay for this shit and STILL have to hear commercials? :mad:

 

 

It seems like the stations got to break around the same time cause on my way in I listen to Fox News and CNN. One goes to break, I switch to other, and they are on break, too.
