SIRIUS satellite radio

[Skylab]

I was told by the salesperson that the satellite option is not available yet. When it is, however, will there be a hard mount antenna, or a magnet mount?

(boom07) (poke) (So many questions, sorry.)

 

[case sensitive]

I'd guess it's a hard mount antenna. Probably replaces the stock antenna (works as sirius, FM, and AM. That's what I'm hoping anyway. Sirius is a must-have option for me.

 

[luvmyprotege5]

why don't they offer xm??much better programming, plus i already have xm in my semi and would only have to add another unit to my account if i went with a 5(which i realy hope i get to do it soon)

Magnetic antenna

Got Sirius installed and I love it!

To answer your question, I believe it is a magnetic mount. I had the portable, self-installed receiver in my old protege, and the antenna on my new 5 is similar to the magnetic one in my old setup. It is definitely not a matter of simply replacing the stock antenna (though I wish it were). Nevertheless, unless I look really hard, I don't notice the extra antenna.

Because XM doesn't have Howard Stern. (crazy)

I plan on installing the car kit for the Kenwood unit I have. Even the dealer lady said it wasn't worth getting the dealer installed Sirius radio....very expensive. (boom01)

I guess this is an opinion but I listen to a wide variety of music and I prefer Sirius over XM any day.

 

[protegeric]

I have sirius on my MPS, of course it came with a sirius ready Kenwood receiver, and my antenna is magnetic mount. I`d say magnetic mount.

no offence to you but howard stern is a hack who thinks he invented everything. i actually heard audio of him saying he was the very first person to have someone play unplugged on the radio andthen a week later mtv started its show unplugged"hoohoo tell um fre, i invented everything, mtv ripped me off just like everyone else, hoohoo"

Just a guess, but maybe he said that to elicit the response he got from you. Seems to me that 'shock-jocks' are all about 'shocking' people with crazy antics and claims.
You offended or upset = mission accomplished.

Who cares if sirius has stern and xm has opie and anthony. both are played. I listened to O&A when they were in Boston. Then they go to NYC and pull basically the same crap they did in Boston. I'm guessing they're doing the same thing now, just uncensored... Same with Stern.

I've has sirius for 3 years now, and won't listen to anything else (except CD's/MP3's). I think I'm going to spring for the factory sirius kit. Yeah it's expensive, but it also uses the factory stereo. No looking for mounts, etc.

Is the artist and song title displayed on the factory Sirius setup?

Is the artist and song title displayed on the factory Sirius setup?

Because any satellite radio setup has to have a tuner, and tuners AND satellite ready in-dash receivers display artists/song title, I would guess the setup that is offered displays the song, etc. Mine will also display channel #, channel name, etc.
