Buy an XM Roady. Less than $50.00 with mounting kit, antenna, etc.. It's really an easy install. Has a built in FM Transciever to broadcast wireless to your head deck. Not as good as direct wire, but still very good quality sound.

This also gives you the advantage of moving it from car to car. I have extra mounts and antenna's on my 3 cars and all I do is take the roady from car to car. This way, you're also only paying for ONE subscription.

With your subscription, you also get to listen to XM over the internet. I have my home computer hard wired into my Stereo for this feature.

Pay by the year and it's $9.95/month. Pay by the month and it's $12.95/month.

If your'e into different kinds of music, XM is the place to be. Any Beyond Jazz fans out there? And, of course there's the uncensored comedy channel as well!

XM has: opie and anthony, MLB, NHL, College sports, nascar. otherwise, xm and sirius is pretty much the same. I am an opie and anthony fan. Don't like Stern too much anymore.

yeah opie and anthony are a great knockoff. kinda like mark and brian or frostie, heidi, and frank or the rest of the next generation. i still like hearing the morning zoo i grew up with. no disrespect.

just to let you guys know xm is coming out with an mp3 player that you can listen to xm and if you like that particular song you can download it directly to your mp3 player its going to be from samsung. and in a year they are coming out with a gps system so oh there's a deal going on from xm where the roady is 49.99 one month free and no activation cost.
