I have a 4th Gen with Nav so I assume the easiest way to add Sat Radio woudl be a FM Modulation unit. Which ones would you folk recomend? XM or Sirius?

 

There is a thread below were we sorta talk about both XM and sirius and their FM modulators.

I have had Sirius since October 2003 and just bought a 2nd unit for my Celica. I am happy with it

 

my head unit is xm compatible/ready so ill likely go with that when / if i get it.

ive heard great things about both, but my friend that has xm really really likes it.

 

MY buddy just put XM in his civic. He FM modulated it. I wouldn't be able to handle the quality for having to pay $10/month. It was pretty muddy sounding IMO. Depends on your existing system I guess and what your expectations are.

 

My existing system is the factory 10 speaker JBL system with Navigation. My expectation would be good sound quality a-la a cd in my systems or a clear FM station tuned in.

 

I just talked with a guy at the stereo shop during lunch and he said that it really depends on what city you are in, here in Portland he said that Sirius is the better of the two options as they have better coverage here (not sure why this is, because of satellites maybe something to do with their orbit path). I would talk to a shop that sells both XM and Sirius and see what they say.

 

FWIW I just got a Sirius setup and I'm happy with it. My coworker just got a new Chevy which came with XM (he had Sirius in his old car) and he's very sad now. You can demo both online.
