I've been with XM since 2000 and thier subscription base was about 60,000.

The cheapest way in is the Roady about $50.00

to me not worth spending your hard earned money on

I use the Ski fi 2

about $99.00 but the versatility is amazing

I have 2 head units one for me, one for the wife, which cost me $12.95 for the first and $6.99ea. a month for up to 5 more units.

I've put cradles in the Pete, home, wifes Toyota, the boat, and my pace car.

with my head unit in hand I plug it into any cradle in front of me and I'm on the air

the skyfi and roady 2 units both have a built in modulator that you can set to recieve on specific freqs. on the fm dial. the down side is this the signal gets beat up and fades if there is a powerful station close on the dial your using. My first cure was the FM modulator at about $49.00 it plugs in between the unit, stereo, and antennae, and become propriatery to the freq you assign it, if the head units on, XM is what you'll hear no muss, no fuss. The down side is that the modulator is an analog unit, if you have a good stereo its ok, but not digital.

The current technology is a digital modulator, about $39.00, it replaces the modulator box, is diract tuneing, and best of all your signal is DIGITAL!

It truly is Hi Def for stereo!

of course your system quality dictates the final product but if you have average or better componants, you will definately notice a distinct improvement in tone and makeup.

hearing things in 30 year old music you never knew was in there
