satellite radio ROCKS (Sirius at least)

[changedman]

Its SWEET!!!
I mounted the antenna on the rear deck INSIDE the car. No issues so far. Works fine. Haven't yet had a bad cutout and Ive been driving thru neighborhoods with trees, etc. we'll find out fo sure when i drive out to my cottage on lk michigan (forest!!)

anyway, its sweet. all the music channels are COMMERCIAL free. (60)

(40) news sports entertainment channels.

for all u pam fans, shes getting her own show on Sirius (no added cost, unlike playboy channel on XM)
install was easy and straight forward. My stock z828 deck displays song title/artist, channel, channel title, its great
(the z828 DOES work directly with Sirius, plugs right in, when u plug receiver in, "Sirius" becomes a source".

Sirius

I'm happy. Free equipment, $12.95/mo. I'll prolly goto quarterly plan since I like now. Took 45mins to install and mount antenna.

I recommend it!!

I was just about to post a thread about Sirius!!! I just got mine today!!!! I have been to the website reading up on it as well!!! OH BOY! Can't wait to listen to everything!

 

[Cirielle]

They also have a lifetime plan now. It is $400 bucks for the life of the headunit! Not sure what all it entails, but maybe I can get my plan upgraded!!!

I guess i should order mine now since i hear it takes a while to get.

 

[changedman]

the new models came out, the old ones are done!

new model numbers are 2, not 1!!!

 

[REMillers]

I love my XM, plus it is FREE!!!!!!!!!!! They never deactivated my account from when XM first came out.
Two weeks of having it in the ole P5 and never switched back to the Radio or CDs.

 

[Cirielle]

Well they wanted to send me the 901 version instead of the 902 version!!! Don't know why! But I finally got it this morning and all is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(yippy)

If only I could get satellite radio in my country .

 

[ARunto]

I ordered mine just now...can't wait to get it.

 

[LinuxRacr]

I have Sirius also. I must say that I love jamming commercial free.

 

[YuYuRena]

How hard is it to install it with an 03.5 MSP?

 

[Cirielle]

Not hard at all!
Lemme just say I got to listen to it some more...and yippy!

On the way back
Megadeth

Pretty much bands you would not hear on the radio at noon ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got it, too. What channels are you into? Mines usually in the 20's (Octane, Hard Attack, First Wave) the most, but 62 (24/7 mixing) kicks ass when you're in the mood.

 

[Heathen23]

Is there still a special promotion for sirius? I don't think that I have the tags from when I bought the car but I might be able to dig them up. I might be interested if it's something I don't have to pay to have installed and can hide the on the rear deck. I know the monthly payments are pretty reasonable.

 

[Cirielle]

Yes, go to their website. They have it posted!

To Albert:

27 - BAAAAAABBBBBBBBBEEEEEE ALL THE WAY!

I just talked to one of their customer rep. They gave me a 1800 # to call and the total cost is 142.45

The # is 1-888-999-4551

And they send u a tuner + antenna. Hope this help. So where do you guys put your tuner and antenna? And what kind of tools are needed? Do I have to disassemble the center console? I'm asking this is b/c I'm away from my tools and I'm living in an apartment away from my garage.
