XM radio

[powerboatr]

Well I must admit i thought i would never like the idea
but
in the rental car this weekend we had the xm satelite . O WOW
we listened to booker T and the MG's anthology
the laugh channel and the 60 70 and 80
so what do i need to do to get the xm commander to work with my factory radio 6 cd with aux input.....
is there a way to inergrate it all inot my radio display or do i need to still get a separate display

i was impressed with the selections and choices

I REALLY like mine. I started with a "Roady". Then up-graded to a Pioneer 3600 with the " XM, Black Box", hidden under the Dash. Took the Roady and installed it the Fifth Wheel.

Once you make the move, you'l never go back. NO COMMERCAILS !! Nice when traveling.

Don't know about intergrateing with the OEM.... but I'v seen Posts on doing it, so I think it's Do-able.

JMO, but I think (English speaking) AM/FM radio is a Dying Breed. Cleaning the truck up yesterday... hit the Scan (?), only 4 or 5 english stations left, here in CenCal (Fresno area), on the Whole FM Band. NONE of'm were my kinda music, Thats Fer Shurrr.

There ya Go..... Thats what I was do'n. I took the easy way out... Had Circuit City do the install, in my truck... But I watched, so there was'nt any Hookie stuff. Gota say, they did a nice, clean job tho.

I got my wife Sirius for Christmas with no inclination of getting it for myself whatsoever. I now I trying to figure out which radio to get for my truck. I think I'm going to go with the S50.

I'v got Sirius on the Dish 500, I called Sirius looking for a "Deal"... No "DEAL", the Sirius on DISH, is seperate from the Mobile set up. At least thats what they Told me. Maybe things have changed from a year ago.

We listen to Serius alot, in the house, and XM ALL the time on the road. I can't tell much difference between the two. I like XM's Old Country (chnl 13), but Sirius's Old Standards (chnl 73). But it's not enough to say, One is any better than the other JMO

 

[powerboatr]

remember whne they first started???? way back
well we were one of the first of the first customers.

I have been listening to XM for about 5 years now. I have it in my truck and in my home stereo. I get Sirrus in my Dish Network. I agree they are pretty much ths same. Get which one makes your skirt blow up.
