If its possible ill sell the serious portion for cheap as i dont use it since subscription ran out. not sure if other radios are built different. Ive never had satelite before, but i do notice that it will cut out for a second if you go under any bridges or whatever. Gets annoying if you go under a series of bridges and it keeps cutting out. Maby the factory one has a weak intenna. My dads XM gets reception everywhere.
Oh if you get aftermarket dont poke a hole and run it through the glass seal to the roof, you will get a leak eventually. There is an intenna you can get i believe to boost signal, and some have popped off the passenger side "A" piller and put it inside and said they get excellent reception
Now, that would be a really neat feature. I never had satellite radio before, but looking at all the post and pictures I definitely didn't like all the wires/cables showing and the ones mounted just look out of place too me. Not trying too upset anyone, I did a lot of looking, just MHO.mwippern said:I have to say that I miss my old Sportster4.
I had a Sportster4 in my Frontier, and now in the Titan I have the factory installed unit. The biggest thing I miss about the Sportster4 is being able to store artists or song names and being notified when they are on any of the channels. I find that with the hundreds of channels on the Sirius it was nice to be notified when one of your favorite artists was playing.
Maybe it's because I have a short attention span and can't listen to one channel for more than 5 minutes without flipping channels :upsidedow
I used to rely on that feature a lot, too. Now they have a full-time channel playing the only band I ever "bookmarked"...the Grateful Dead...so my S50 hardly ever leaves channel 32. :rockonmwippern said:.... it was nice to be notified when one of your favorite artists was playing.
I also love that feature! I think that Sirius is freakin' great! Been a member since '03. They have channels that are dedicated to just one artist, which is great if you like that artist. I don't like the Dead (but appreciate them and their fans!) but they have had the Who, Stones, Jimmy Buffet, Bruce, and of course ELVIS. They arent permanent, but it's great to be able to listen to all of one artist. I was very bummed when they replaced the Rolling Stones channel. They usually put on a channel when the band is beginning a tour. However, I think the dead channel will be around for a while since there are soooo many DeadHeads!BobNYC said:I used to rely on that feature a lot, too.
