what headunit do you have?

You know, they have devices where you CAN control satellite radio with your head unit... derrrr lol

he's saying by being able to control the ipod through his head unit why bother w/ satt. radio

I used to sell both when I worked at Best Buy. I actually heard better compliments from Sirius than I did XM. And me being in that department all day long for 7 months, I found myself listening to a Sirius receiver rather than an XM. Really most of it is personal choice, and the main difference is sports and talk shows. And if you're going to hook it up to your car, you are definetly better off hard wiring it to your radio. The FM Transmitter is total crap.

I only use a fm modulator in my work truck since it has no tape deck, just straight radio

My Cobalt came with a 3 month trial of XM. Didn't think I would really need it because I hardly listen to regular radio. Turns out I subscribed, mainly for the 24 hour NYC traffic channel. Comes in very handy during my commute. But I'm also big into oldies, standards, classic rock, and punk. It's got stations for all of those. Plus hundreds of sports channels. So far I've had no problem with the signal.
