    Hi. I just finished installing a new deck in my car, one that is XM-ready. I've installed the xmdirect adapter, and xm works fine, I just need to activate. problem is, my subscription is still for the plug-n-play unit I had in my car previously. How do I switch radios? Also, does it count...

    Finished my XM Installation

    Alright, I finally finished my XM Radio installation. The reason I went with XM was that it cost me $35 for all the up-front parts. I installed it on my dodge neon such that the cord ran straight out to the driver side, then down the black rubber groove in the roof. Antenna attached to roof...

    I went with XM, big mistake?

    I finally got the vehicle kit for my Skyfi2 XM receiver for $50 off ebay. The skyfi2 itself was free (which is why I went with xm). Did I make a big mistake? I'm having trouble mounting my XM, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should sell my XM stuff and go with sirius. What do you think?

    XM Vehicle kit?

    Hi. I'm having a ton of trouble trying to find a vehicle kit for my SkyFi2 receiver. I have just the receiver and remote, and need a car kit. They are very hard to find on eBay, and it almost sounds cheaper to buy both than to buy just the car kit! Where can I find a vehicle kit for cheap?

    XM Equipment - what do I need?

    Hi all...I've been looking into XM Radio and I'm quite skeptical. It seems like it isn't even practical unless you are driving a mercedes, cadillac, or lancer evo...I mean, it's really high-end. By high-end, I mean expensive. It seems the cost-benefit ratio is about 10:1. But, to give it a...

    Confused about sirius and xm

    Hi...I'm just a regular guy who likes music. I'm looking for some sort of cheap equipment (sub $50) that will simply either: Receive/tune xm or sirius signals and output the sound via optical audio out, or 5.1 channel line out, or regular 2 channel line out. Is there any such thing?
