Default Satellite Radio Rocks!!!

Got my Sirius Starmate 5 the other day, got the mounting kit today. Satellite radio unit mounted, H-K radio volume at 3 bars and the Satellite Radio is incredible!!!

Looking forward to road testing tomorrow afternoon!!! Too bad my MCC modified seat won't arrive until around 5pm. Guess I'll have to road-test that on Saturday (regardless of rain!)

Yup once I went to XM I almost never listen to terrestrial radio anymore.

Guessing that come June of 2010, I'm going to just buy a Lifetime subscription...that way I have Satellite radio for as long as I want...

Wish I had done this back when I had my '07 UC!

You waiting to see if they're still in business?

No...I just 'got' my Satellite Radio. My initial subscription was for just 1 year. I am pretty certain that Satellite Radio isn't going anywhere...my last post was just stating that when it comes time for renewal, I'll do a "lifetime" rather than another "annual".

Buy a brand new radio when you do your lifetime, and sell your old one, get the newest one available, because you can only transfer the subscription 3 times (for $75 each time) I have a starmate that's screen malfunctioned from being exposed to the heat for too long, it still works, you just can't read the screen anymore. Been a Sirius customer for about 4 years now, i will never go back to regular radio, it's the best thing around!


BTW are there any Harley OEM stereo gurus on the board? i posted a question in the 'Other' tech forum about a problem i have with the AUX input not being enabled on the front of my '01 head unit...

Nice looking setup. Looks like you've got room for the GPS or cell phone as well. It is amazing how nice satellite radio is on a long trip. I've been using XM in my truck about 4 years but only added it to my bike this year when I got the Ultra. I can't imagine a long trip without it now.
