Default Anyone have any experience with XM's new "SureConnect" system?

Another article here:

http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/understanding-the-next-generation-of-satellite-radio-fm-transmitters.html

I was looking into this but the part where it connects to the roof antenna (I have an Avant) looks like it will only fit at a point 4" from the bottom of my roof whip antenna.

I dont think that will be a very "clean" look.

Anyone using this yet or know anyone who is?<ul><li><a href="http://store.xmfanstore.com/xmsureconnect.html">Link</a></li></ul>

Sorry, I got to "FM Radio" and stopped reading. FM modulators are from Satan.

Default I agree. My next car will have a built in satellite radio tuner in the HU....for now...

...I am using a system I had in my previous car that cgot totalled and moved it into my Audi when i bought it.


Honestly, the FM tuner rteally hasn't been that bad for where I live (NYC Area).

Default On all the new XM, and Sirius units the FCC is mandating for a

very, very weak wireless signal, this is easily fixed by using a wired FM modulator which will solve all the wireless issues, and will come in as strong radio station. You could also purchase a line in interface for your radio, which would create a CD like sound.
