one of the great features of satellite is the ability to read who the artist is and the song. this wont allow you to do so if this is similar to the unit that is in my dads x5
i also would stear you away from xm, sirius is comercial free and if you are paying for it why deal with comercials? sirius also just got a contract with the nfl for all the games next season!!!
