Sirius/xm Satellite Radio Merger Still Not There

No, in the cafeteria. iPod is fine, but he wanted the a gazillion gig iTouch. Not gonna happen...

Get that boy a job!

TD, your new car doesn't have an AUX input (Don't know if the Sirius unit has a headphone output)?

it does but it looks like crap if I run a wire that far because I have my sirius mounted on the left side. I'll tinker with it im sure

Yes, the standard FM transmitter sucks... but here's something that might help, but I haven't personally tried it yet. When I bought my car kit for my Stiletto, it came with a separate FM cable that supposedly enhanced the signal, so you might want to see if you can buy the cable by itself.

I got the new Sportster and they give you this FM extension to hook to your window right by your antenna. My antenna is part of my back window so I attached it directly to it and it still sucks. The problem is that radio stations are too powerful and over power it so I get a ton of static. In my old Trailblazer I took the antenna off my car and attached those extension wires to the nub of where my antenna used to be and it worked perfect.

I miss my old Audiovox where the FM transmitter was basically it's own radio station. Those were the glory days of Sirius, now the NAB has basically lobbied the crap out of them

The Sportster 4 is kick ass. I've had mine for over a year now and it's great. I love beign able to pause and rewind up to an hour of content.

I have had a starmate for awhile and the display is starting to get iffy.

SIRIUS sent me the sportster for free.

I have this one, and the FM transmitter blows goats



so much so I might go back to the giant, bulky audiovox

[Medvedenko]

I have XM in my car and Sirius at home....both are good and both offer great commercial free music. I like both Howard and Opie and Anthony and love the metal channells on both. I haven't listned to terrestial radio in forever. I can't stand commercials and lame editing.

That happened to me, too. I do miss that Starmate; the FM transmitter worked great on that thing. When I complained about the Sportster, the CSR told me all new models' FM transmitters were weak like that.
