Satellite Radio

Has anyone here added a satellite radio system to their current setup?

Something I've been thinking about but the darn antenna is kind of ugly...

which systems would be best for the rx-8?

and how is it going to integrate into the current audio system? (fm modulator?)

I haven't added one yet, but I will be soon. I'm going to use the Delphi Roady, which isn't yet available (it will be mid-September).

The Roady comes with a new, very tiny low-profile antenna...about the size of a matchbook and the thickness of 5 quarters. I'm going to try it first "mounted" on the rear deck (inside). If the reception isn't good enough there, I'll mount it on the trunk lid.

The dimensions of the Roady make it perfect to mount on the ashtray lid (I'm not going to use the ashtray for anything else). I figure I can run the wires to the FM modulator and antenna in behind the console through the ashtray compartment. I'll mount the FM modulator behind the console for a clean look.

For more info on the Roady, see http://www.xmradio.com/roady.
