Works great.Underpasses are an issue sometimes, but they were when I had it on the roof as well. What is sweet though is when you are on the Kennedy in Chicago and you go under a 1/4 mile underpass and get NO dropouts. Metro areas have terrestrial repeater networks, so you never loose the signal!As for the quality of XM programming, It&#039;s totally worth the $10. In fact, I have the Alpine XM tuner in my car, and a Delphi SkyFi I carry with me from the office to home.&nbsp; I especially like the Comedy channel and Fox News. Music programming is awesome too.Note that the sound quality isn&#039;t as good as a decent MP3 or a CD, but when I&#039;m cruising down the highway it sounds decent enough. When you figure in road noise, plus the fact that I&#039;m not always &quot;looking&quot; for every little imperfection in sound it&#039;s good enough. Depending on weather I&#039;m at my office or at a client&#039;s site downtown Chicago I am on the road between 1 and 2 hours one way to work. Having a variety of programming on hand is vital to me. Hence the reason I have XM, a 6 disc MP3 changer, and the single MP3 player in the head unit itself. I also listen to a lot of AM, so when you compare XM&#039;s quality to AM, XM blows that out of the water even for talk stations.</blockquote>
