XM/Sirius
I am looking at both XM and Sirius since I will soon be adding a stereo to my EGS. \\; I am looking for a unit that the wife can use in her car 90% of the time and I can take with me on trips. \\; What is the best service and which \\; unit would work best for what I am trying to do? \\; Thanks for your help, as I have NO idea \\; when it comes to sat. radio. \\; Thanks Bryan

RE: XM/Sirius
I have 3 XM Radio's. \\; 1 in wife's Denali- factory, 1 in my D max-factory and 1 XM- XT that I use as a portable... in my boat and on the HD. Its small enough to fit in those HD leather windshield bags, has about a 3/4" square antenna thats magnetic, except I place it under the leather flap....signal works great. \\; I also use a patch cable in my HD's radio that plugs into the AUX jack...cant get any simpler. \\; I never ever listen to FM. Have had Xm for about 6 years. \\; Look at Xm's web site for specials on the XT reciever....One last thing with a subscription you can log onto XM's web page and listen for free over the internet...I listen all day at the office.

RE: XM/Sirius
I have both \\; and like Sirius better, the mix of music is better in my opinion. I bought a extra antanna, power cord and the direct cable to the AUX input on the radio and put it \\;permenent under the fairing. Then \\;put the unit in my glove box pouches. I just uplug the unit from my car and plug it into the cables I installed on the bike. works great

I have the xm and like it. If you decide to get a portable xm I have a brand new in the package Express RC with antenna and everything you need to install. I bought it and didnt like having it on my bars so I bought the HD unit.

RE: XM/Sirius
I also have both but enjoy Sirius much more. I'm actually canceling the XM. That being said, if you can hold out a little while, XM and Sirius will be merging. It was approved by the FCC one month ago. When I spoke with the service rep, they advised they hope to be merged by Xmas for the Xmas sales.

RE: XM/Sirius
What would be the consumer benefit to the merger? Besides more channel availability????or Ive read where the two systems will never be compatable (hardware) because then they would have a monopoly, something congress wont allow
