What company are you subscribed to XM with?

How's it sound?

what's the monthly cost?

Is it comparable to Sirus?

I've never heard XM radio before. How is the quality compared to CD quality? I am assuming pretty close since it is a digital signal...just wondering. It's probably been a year or so since I've ever had the radio on in my car. It just sucks so much.

the company Im with is XM, the service is $10 a month, the sound quality is awesome when you have XM factory installed, I have mine running through a FM modulater so I have to adjust my settings in my radio then it sounds great, I like it cause theres always something on, and they play much more than the regular radio does, I went on a four hour trip not long ago and never once put a CD in like I heard a few different songs from hoobastank and I liked em so I went and bought there cd which by the way is really good

I have XM and have had it since I bought my Ion. Its pretty cool, the best thing to buy it for is if you are constantly in you car. XM Comedy 150 is the best channel of all!

yeah my dad has XM in his new truck--yeah he finally got rid of the goat and got a 2005 GMC Canyon. The comedy channels are so funny.

btw- what EXACTLY is the deal with your shift knob?

Its the expression series one, it turned a rusty color so I painted it, it then chipped so I chipped all the paint off, now its more of a rusty color I just haveny got around to replacing it

I like the comedy, but XM 48 is one I really like. its a rock channel, and I find my self listening to that one often and the traffic and weather come in handy quite often to. I'll have to wait till daylight and takes some better pics

Hmm.....

I'll stick to the iPod and the iTrip. 7 days of music without repeating a single song (with a lot more room still left) and it'll play on any open frequency on an FM radio.

$300 later I've got somethin that'll work for years in all situations (i cna take mine with me when I run) and won't wind up costing me $350+subscription prices.

XM is like cable......charing you for what you can get for free.
