I listen to what I want when ever I want. That's why I still have my CD changer and tape deck and AM/FM Not that I even use them anymore but I can if I want to. With XM, I am listening to all kinds of new stuff instead of the same old crap OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again !!!

I know these fees are to keep sirius and XM aloft (literally and figuratively) and make a profit.
But we already pay monthly fees for cell phones, phones, cable tv, internet... When is this list going to stop growing? (I am not including rent/mortgage, utilities or insurance - because they arent a necessity)

I guess I'm a hard core XM fan because I gave up my cell phone and monthly bill for it ! I never used it and was paying $30-35 a month!!! Now THAT was a waste!

Besides, they said the SAME things about records, tapes, 8 tracks, CD's & AM/FM back in the day.

I am also leaning towards a hard drive based system. I would like to see in dash units that have more than 40gb drives in them. I really like the HD systems with WiFi built in, so you can send music files from your PC directly to your car in the driveway.

To each his own I guess. I live 5 min. from my work and there is nothing more in the world that I hate then hearing COMERCIALS the ENTIRE way there

As far as where I mounted my unit, I have no problems at all as I do not sit there and look at what I am doing with it. who sits there and stairs at the radio as you change the stations

It's not distracting at all once you know where the buttons are and you know what you are doing. I use my remote most of the time anyway.

The sound quality is GREAT, no static no, crappy music, no commercials.

I am glad to have gone the sattelite route
