XM through your Sirius Factory Radio
 

Not sure if anyone has seen this before, but stumbled on it while surfing. Not a bad option.

nice find, but mazda is not on the compatibility list..

why would you want to replace Sirius with XM anyway? Sirius is the superior company :)

thats funny.. that will be the next oil thread.

I've done a lot of research and that TERK XM Direct reciever does not work with Mazda's HU.

Both Sirius and XM have similar programming. XM just has better coverage because of more terrestrial repeaters.

Having listened extensively to both... I prefer Sirius. B/c of the programming. I didn't notice a significant difference in coverage, but then I didn't do too many cross country drives.

You're right- I thought this would be more generic. Reason I want XM in the car is because I have it with my Samsung Helix, which is a pretty neat device. Another option is to put in the Audmox, and simply use an RCA cable to hook it up. With the "accessory outlet" in the glove compartment, it would probably make for a neat install.

i use the aux mod with a myfi connected to the e brake... i like it because i can pull it out and use it in the house or garage or on the bike...

i can send picks if you like..

I have Sirius hooked up through my Kenwood HU and love it. I have no need to bash XM and would strongly consider it if/when I move to San Diego and want to listen to Red Sox broadcasts. One of the reasons I stick with Sirius other than its quality is the fact I bought a lifetime subscription before they stopped offering them. :)

Sirius still offers lifetime subscriptions for $500.

interesting that some ford models would be but not mazda?

plus if xm is better why did howard and now nascar come to sirius?

You know, I'm getting a little sick of this satellite radio infantilism. First, I chose XM because Howard WASN'T on it. I didn't care for him when he was on terrestrial, and how many fart jokes do you REALLY want to hear? I mean, he is OVER. And he's not even funny. XM has four comedy networks with tons of material that is far better.

Most people chose satellite for the music. And since both services have fairly similar music lineups, it's really a tossup between two very competitive operations.

NASCAR is dull enough watching it. I dont know how people get off LISTENING to a car race.

way to much money, and it might be the end on them..

XM has BPM channel 81. there is nothing close to it on Sirius. So I pay my 14bux a month for that one channel and comedy when stuck in traffic.

Meh..
