Thanks bro. :beer:
Yeah that's what I did...it's really easy. Just ground one wire, pop the other wire into a fuse on a circuit that's closed loop when the car is on, and tuck it all in the dash Mine is behind my glovebox. Navi wire goes down A-pillar behind gauges, XM goes behind the climate controls.

Im not pleased with the only 5 channels I listen to cause the rest suck.

my friend has sirius and they have a nice variety of channels.
What do you listen to? XM has a lot of weird shit.

I like XM Pops, Watercolors, 47/54, The 90's...but the rap/pop/hip hop stations are garbage. They have the best talk radio variety but most of that can be had on AM.

talk shows suck, they accomplish nothing and are a waste of time. Crap/hip hop always sucks.

XM > Sirius

I have XM RoadyXT and have about 8 favorite channels, I never run out of things to listen to.

My ONLY complaint is the commercials. Clear Channel bullied XM into having commercials on some channels, but like I said, I have 8 fav channels that I can easily change to and some are commercial free. So escaping ad's is easy.

Yeah, and my tv can get tv just fine with an antenna. I don't see the need to pay for cable / satellite television.

I had Sirius from 2003 - 2005 and dumped it when I sold my car. I loved the programming and there was always something good on. I was big on the hip-hop channels, especially the old school rap and mix station.
