    So how good is the sound?

    I have a 2005 Honda Accord with a factory XM radio. The sound is close to FM and CD. There is a big difference in the level. Sometimes I really have to crank up the volume on XM. If I had FM or CD that high, it would be too loud. And among the XM rock stations, some are louder than others. This...

    current best deal for new customer?

    A friend is about ready to sign up as a new customer. It seems the deal DTV is giving current customers (free Tivos) is better than new customers ($49 for tivo). Dish gives multiple DVRs. Do you know of anyone who has called DirecTV and gotten some free Tivos as a new customer? I guess its worth...

    Factory XM vs. Add-on models

    Yes, this is an advantage. I agree. But it wasn't worth it to me. 1) I really don't have a need for XM outside of my car. I have DirecTV at home, and some of their rock stations are somewhat comparable to what I get on XM. So, I can essentially get satellite radio through DirecTV. Its not XM...

    Factory XM vs. Add-on models

    The antenna is installed, in fact it blends in nicely with the car. Its painted the same color as the car. Its activated. What I was getting at was that if I did not get this model, I would have had to deal with installing a satellite antenna, etc. on a brand new car.

Once I learned that the LX model did not have alloy wheels, I jumped to the EX model, and then it was a...

    Factory XM vs. Add-on models

    Look at it like this. If I get an Accord LX, I would have to upgrade to an Accord EX with Leather model to get XM radio. This is over $3000. For the Altima, it is similar, but then there is a $400 additional upgrade. This is absurd. I'd be getting a nicer car, but I don't want all those extras...

    Factory XM vs. Add-on models

    Factory XM vs. Add-on models for new car I'm in the process of buying a new car, either an Accord or Altima. For both cars, satellite radio is an expensive add-on. In both cases I have to move up one trim model to get satellite radio, in the Altima's case its still a $400 add on after that. I'm...
