XM or Sirius???

OnMy3rdStang · 09-29-2002, 03:44 PM

I want to get satellite radio in my coupe mustang. Does anyone have either sirius or xm? If you do, Do you like it? If not why?

Theres only 4 stations I listen to but lately they play more commercials and BS 5 to 1. I'm getting very frusterated with it and looked into some satellite radios.

It would be great to get some input on these radios from people who actually have them. Thanks!

From what i understand, the Sirrus has better reception. Their satallites are in a higher orbit, whereas XMs sats are lower and use land based relays. This is what a car stereo shop told me. My friend had Sirrus and they have some good stations. He got rid of it because his antena went out and he didnt want to have it fixed.

I have the sirius radio option on the Kenwood in the Stang, I was gonna do it about 6 months ago, but it wasn't availible here yet. They do have a website where you can listen to all their radio stations on the web which is pretty cool:
