Default XM or Sirus radio

Would you buy HD satilite raido built in with stock HD radio or buy a stand alone unit.H D makes a unit that goes in stock radio. Where do most of you mount a stand alone unit?
Thanks Bandit

I picked up an XM radio at W-Mart for $80.00 and mounted it to my Ultra. Can also use it in my shop when not riding.

I went with the Sirus (lifetime) one time pay plan and a stand alone unit that goes with me everywhere.

Sirius is going to BUY XM, so wait till you see what packages they will offer.

You should be able to get XM, or Sirius for $20- $30-

If you go to their web sites, you can often get them for free, when you sign up.
I have XM on my Bike and Sirius in my car. I prefer the programing on Sirius.

I went Sirius with a mount I got from Sirius that mounts to the clutch perch. I would wait until the merger is final, though. May be better values then.

...actually it is not Sirius buying anything..it's a proposed MERGER...and it looks like the FCC is gonna nix it anyway...XM share holders were gonna get 4.5 shares of Sirius for each XM share they hold....don't hold your breath on this one....investor.sirius.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=230306

Pioneer Airware handheld, transmits to any FM receiver on your choice of several frequencies. I keep it in my pocket on the bike, in two vehicles and in the house...one account serving multiple needs. I can't see having to pay for each vehicle and in the house (or on the beach or wherever I choose to have radio with me.) Might as well get full use of th esingle account, eh?
