thanks for the link.

he definately had/has the advantage of the sunk in bose emblem area and the fact that his shifter button is not behind the shifter.

I ended up mounting mine to the side, but may have to re-do it with a new dash piece that has the bose/gain control indent. because I would like it there much better.

But for 75 bucks (activation fee, 1 month, and the car kit) I have XM I guess it isn't too bad. Not to mention that I got the Skyfi free with 1.5 house kits (already played with it in my house)

I agree, been listening to it for a while now. I guess I should bring my XM home kit, although I would need a stereo to connect it to. hmmmm

if you dont have an aftermarket HU with aux inputs you can get a inline FM modulator. They just feed the signal into the line w/o actually broadcasting it. Which is much better for SQ
