Satellite Radio?

[bumpinthanite 10+ year member]

I'm looking to possibly have XM radio installed in my car. For this, I'd need a new head unit, plus the reciever and a bunch of other stuff that will end up costing a decent amount...so, before I sink the money into it, my question is: Does anyone in here have it and, if so, what do you think about it and is it worth it?

Also, what's a good head unit to get for XM? I want one that has a cd player. Not the Delphi removeable type. I would prefer dual pre-outs too. So if anyone knows of a good model for under (or equal to) $350, let me know, please. Thanks for the help.

for XM check out the pioneer line of head units...you can get a really nice one for 350$. head over to http://www.thezeb.com or check ebay. for sirus radio (same deal, different brand) go with the panasonic line. again, you can get great stuff for 350$.

Don't look at Pioneer for XM Radio, look at the Alpine series of decks. Way more features on the Alpine decks. And yes, Panasonic is your best choice for Sirius.

For the price however, Pioneer are much nicer than Alpine IMO.

For the extra bucks, I'd rather have the Alpine deck.

Well if money is an issue I'd rather have a Pioneer as well. Especially if a Sony Xplod amp is all I could afford... I hope that's an ES in your setup.
