I have this unit for sale along with a turk antenna. Less than a year old, perfect condition. Great for Fbodys because of its display size.

Looking for 175.00 Shipped to your door.

Newb, what that means is that the head unit will interface with a tuner. So it can control it and display the song name etc. without having a seperate box to mount.

But to the original topic:
XM all the way. It is awsome. And the commercial argument is way blown up. I hardly ever hear any.

Yes you do notice the commercials. If you have used both you notice them. But don't be fooled, Sirius is not 100% streams all the time either.

Yes, like I said, the commercial argument is blown up. All the music stations are 100% commercial free now.

Click "Close Window" when done"
Then continue with your post.
