Satellite Radio?

Anybody tried the XM Satellite Radio in their FB's?

I was looking at this, and it almost looks like it would fit in place of the 84/85 stock radio. Silver face, lights up orange, etc..

It can be a stand-alone system, or work with any stock radio.

You can also buy adapters to fit it on your home system as well.

They even have a "boom-box" for it, for truly portable use.


I already have a CD/MP3/Satellite Radio in my SE, but for $129 - I thought you guys might like it.

The only thing I don't like about it, is more bloody service fees..... Everything now has service fees...
I'll wait until the system gets big and when they can't afford to do it commercial free and then I'll get in for the cost of the unit itself.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering getting XM, mainly cause most of the radio stations here blow, and the ones that are decent are actually in Omaha, so they don't come in very well. The Delphi unit is the one I've been seriously considering, with the assumption that I'll be keeping my current Pioneer head unit. I think it'll go well with the interior of the car, just as directfreak said, but I've seen one in person, and it'd be way too small to take up the 2.5 DIN hole from the stock unit. Maybe right below or above a 1 DIN aftermarket unit?

I think many of the station already have commercials! Geez, but we pay for cable tv AND sit through commercials on that also.
