Was laughing all the way to the office on one of the comedy channels.....now I gotta figure out the other 500 channels.......nice.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs6/msgs/6574.phtml">Sat Install Instructions</a></li></ul>

Default guess that means you are holding on to the beast?

I also did the XM install, simple and for my tastes, great selection vs. Sirius. I also use Napster to Go, and it's a great combo for finding and collecting music. Creative Zen M hooked up to the tape player output via Sony adapter completes the mix. Can't remember the last time I played a CD...
And I'm thinking of holding on to the car, can't see anything under $100K that looks better.

Default Yes I am

Have 38k miles and CPO'd to 100k (I got at 5k) I have plenty of time to see what comes down the road. And the big plus is the car is absolutely unbelievable..... still....... far and away the best car I have owned.

Default Thanks for the instruction help

I would have NEVER found the mounting bracket. Even after I read the instructions, removing the nav bracket and jack, I looked several times and still couldn't believe it was snuck behind that bracket.....

Default I'm bored with Howard Stern...

To be honest the programming looked about the same. XM also seems to be the leading the way in users and successful operations.
