Hey whats up everyone, just wondering what type of sat radio would yall rec for my truck? looking to spend less than $100. I'm going with sirius. Any ideas?

 

i've got the sporter replay, and love it. im not sure how much it is tho (xmas present). dont waste your money on that S50 thing that came out a month or so ago (even tho you just said you dont want to go over 100). yes its the best model out right now.. but give it time.. itll be as worthless as the first editions of ipods..

 

sportster is a good one or a starmate about $50.00 to $80.00 check for rebates got a $35.00 with mine

 

heh..actually if you have first edition ipods..especially the discontinued color mini's...hold onto them. They are going to be worth money.

 

i have a later model sirius streamer works amazing got it for a b-day present dont know the cost but its worth the 10$ a month up here.

 

I don't think Sirius or XM is that great unless you spend 8 hours a day in your truck.

I have it, but I drive for a living. Its OK.

 

i was the same way when i first got it 2 or 3 years ago (whenever it first came out).. i had it for a week or so, didnt think it was worth it, and got rid of it. since then tho, my taste of music has widened a lot, so now more channels apply to my interests.. i also love howerd sterns channel! overall, now, im glad i have it. theres some interesting stuff to be found on it.

 

i have the sirius streamer as well. i bought it about a year ago, the only complaint i have is its kinda big. a friend just got a starmate for christmas, its nice cause its a little smaller.

 

I have the sportster replay. Awesome little radio.

FM is good for me...

 

if you spend a lot of time in your vehicle it's worth it, i do and don't even listen to broadcast radio anymore.

 

What kinda radio is in your truck right now? It is stock or aftermarket. Are you looking to take it to a different vehicle as well, listen to it in the house or just in the truck.

 

^^^^that's the one to get it rocks !!!!!

go sirius!!!

 

how many lines of text does the starmate have

 

I have an aftermarket sony. I only listen to the radio when i'm in my truck, so its gonna stay there.

 

I would go with either a sportster replay or a starmate replay. I have the sportster replay and I love it.


According to sirius web site it has 5 lines.

 

If you have an aftermarket sony does it support Sirius??? I would look on Sony.com and check becuase my Pioneer only shows XM ready but I have sirius hardwired to it. I control it all from the actual headunit, the sound qaulity is much better and it was only $100.

 

Sony only supports XM unless you have an external sirius setup such as the sportster that can plug into the AUX port. I have heard good things about the Sportster Replay also.

 

John I beg to differ,I wouldn't have asked if it was not available. It all depends on what model he has.
