Love satellite myself, but I wish someone made an integrated unit like they do for the iPod. Harley is too proud of their unit @$490. If you could get one for the price of the On The Move iPod interface, I'm there. Until then I'm in a holding pattern. Oh, before I get all the "forget satellite people" I do have an iPod, but like the option to switch it up. And pandora isn't the answer out west, it may work in heavily populated areas with lots of cells but ill pass. Give me satellite! (At a reasonable price)

I don't know if they still offer it or not but I subscribed with surius satellite when they first started and they where offering $250 life time subscription. It was worth it for me. I use it all the time in all my vehicles.

Understand that but any thing run through the cell is worthless out west due to spotty cell coverage. It good for around town, good luck in west TX and such on reception.

I know a freind of mine has a portable Sirius player that he uses a lot. The receprion is not as good as the installed unit in my car, or on my bike, still it is a nice addition. He just drops it in a window bag and then runs a wire to the aux input.

Subscriptions are pricey, & they aren't waterproof, but other than that it should be a good way to go. I have one that I switch between two cars that don't have satellite. Even then I found that I wasn't usin' it much, so I rigged up a 12V power supply & an old radio here in the garage & use it here. I'm listenin' to it now. It'll come with one antenna. Figure about $15 for each antenna in however many places you want to use it. It's still a good buy.
