Sirius is terrific, but choosing a receiver or a service on the basis of the
band-readiness of your car stereo is a bad idea from the previous generation of
satellite radio equipment. You'll get more enjoyment from a Plug 'n Play unit
that lets you take the music from home to car to office. "XM-ready" or
"Sirius-ready" car stereos are ready only for a satellite-tuner of the same make
as the car stereo, one that limits your subscription to the vehicle. With luck
your receiver has auxiliary input, or perhaps the Sirius jack or the CD changer
jack can be deployed as an aux. Otherwise, PnP's work through the cassette deck
or through FM modulation, and there will be an appreciable hit in sound quality
compared to the car-dedicated unit you have planned for.

Suggestion: ask around at the "Install Garage" area at

It's rather saddening that the Seattle area will have no more free 80s
music. It doesn't effect me as much, as my car stereo (where I do 95%
of my radio listening) is Sirius satellite radio ready, and since they
have an all 80s channel, I've decided to activate with them. Still, I
will miss The Point's web site where they always had announcements
about which 80s bands were coming to the area, and the contests they
used to have to win tickets for the concerts.
