XM Roady 2 or Sirius Streamer GT?

DeerMobile · 03-03-2005, 01:30 PM

I am considering one of these for use in my Titan and my company car. I would be swapping it in and out every few days (depending on my work schedule). I haven't decided yet on which service to subscribe to as of yet. Regardless, what I'm looking for is how well these units work (in general). I know you set your FM radio in your vehicle to a certain frequency and the Satellite unit transmits to the radio (or something like that). How well do these two units work? Thanks in advance!

My roady 2 works great. I even bring mine on to the job site.

If you have an AUX in (My RF SE model has one), then you can just use a headphone to headphone connection to connect the Roady2 directly into the AUX port of the stereo. Let me know if this works... it works great on mine.

FYI, go Sirius. XM sucks these days and I have had it since the beginning. Now they bumped up the monthly fee to 12.95 from 9.95. So now it sucks even more.

If at all possible use an aux input to connect the satellite radio, the FM modulation method works but it is poor at best.
As to which service, choose the one that has what you wish to listen to. I listen to country music, the Sirius offering in this area is not very good while XM does a very good job. I have had XM since its early days and have been extremely pleased with the quality and variety of offerings.
XM has just announced a price increase, look for Sirius to do the same.

hay, i used both XM and Sirius and for my needs XM is better. Sirius had a better display settings ( more info etc.) I had a Sirius Blaupunkt America Reciver which i liked very much but the music was not too good. I curently have XM commander which has the lowest freq and i also have 3 Roady 2 recivers. For my Titan i'm using a Alpine reciver with AUX in and this is so far the BEST quality u can get from sattelite radio. I do not recommend connecting it to your original Nissan stereo Aux input, at least on my sound was very bad and not clear.

anyway good luck.
