My Dad has it in his Alero and its awesome. No commercials is the bet point, and no annoying DJ's. Just music. Unfortunately, they don't announce the names of the songs, so if you hear something you like, you're kinda SOL in regards to identifying the artist or song name.
ESPN and Comedy channels too.
Thinking about having it installed in my Grand Prix.

I have SIRIUS and I love it. I just put some padding under the antenna and I attach it to the roof just above the A Pillar.
SIRIUS Displays the name of the song and the band on the reciever, I don't know if XM does or not.
The thing that I liked about it was my kit came with an FM Modulator so I didn't have to tear out the factory radio.

I was thinking about getting the external receiver for use in my police car, home and possibly GN. Any thoughts?

What did you do about the antenna? If you have one on your GN, what did you do about the antenna? Did you put that sharkfin on the back? Or some other type of 'set up'? I could imagine a lot of people don't want such a thing sitting on their deck lid. Any ideas and/or pics? Thanks.
I've got the hard wired FM modulator that plugs in-line with the antenna wire that goes to the back of your head unit. I was a little sceptical of this at first as I've had some bad experiences with both the wireless and wired kinds in mine and other peoples' cars. That being said, I'm very happy with the way my setup sounds. It's heads and shoulders above normal radio (even my parents, who don't know or care anything about audio agreed the first time they were in the car) and is very close if not equal to cd quality. Sometimes I still can't believe how good it sounds. When I first got the Sirius stuff I was pretty disappointed when I realized my head unit didn't have inputs for it, but figured I would give it a go anyway (got it for free off the board last year ) and couldn't be happier since the day I've had it installed. If you or anyone else have anymore questions, just ask!Originally posted by WakkoSS
Are you using the cigarette lighter style modulator or a hard wired one? I have an iRock FM modulator that I use with my laptop and I get horrible whine.
