Sirius

[jsesq]

I just got the Sirius antenna and tuner installed in my car over the weekend. The antenna is a bit ugly and is supposed to be mounted on the roof, but the installer I worked with was agreeable to try mounting it on the back deck.

We used the spot on top of the plastic cover that goes where the 3rd brakelight would go on a Protege without a spoiler. The installation was pretty clean and the reception seems to be very good.

It does cut out if you stop under an overpass or if you go through a very long tunnel, etc.

The service is excellent and (for me) the best part is no commercials at all.

I have the Z828 - so now the SRC button cycles like this: All off - Sirius - tuner - cd - all off. Then you can cycle the display to show the station number, channel name, or artist/song. Very nice.

Yes, please give us a run down on costs. I've been thinking about getting it too.

The antenna was $70, the tuner was $165, the installation was about $100. The service is $12.95 per month and there was a $15 start-up fee. They are offering a 3-months free promotion, but you need to prepay for a year to get the free three months.

Do they have a sight for general questions or even a 1-800 number or a dealer locator.

Thanks

Cool! But I'll stick with my mp3s.
