Cool... stuck thread...

The back seat TV seems reasonable! I would like to see what a setup looks like.

I was just reading on Gizmodo that SIRIUS has come out with a new GM conversion box for GM, Toyota, Lexus and Honda. The new GM box supposedly is good for the 8 million GM vehicles that cover model years 2003 to present.

Been wanting to trade my Starmate reply for a Stiletto 100 for some time now... Question is do I see if those go on clearance now or get the Stiletto 2 when I can afford it?

For those who want to do it on the cheap it looks like the rear seat video thing will also work fine with any portable DVD player that has a video input. My kids are perfectly content watching DVDs and playing video games on long trips.

As a owner of a Stiletto 100, and reading about the Stiletto 2, I don't see anything in there that my 100 doesn't do. Maybe a little more storage space? <shrug> I don't get it.

james_k_p,

I tend to agree with you. The Stiletto 2 is 25% smaller and twice the battery life, but I may not upgrade just for those two features.

I'll upgrade to whatever I find the best deal on, so it sounds like Stiletto 100 here I come. Then my wife can have my Starmate Replay
