RE: Sirius sat radio
You dont get rid of the stock antenna, when I hooked up my sirius I originally just used a low station lik 87.7fm that didnt have a deciated station linked to it and reception was ok. But go buy the adapter for like 30 dollars, you plug the antenna lead from radio into it and then from the adapter to the antenna. Crystal clear radio that way

hey, dont touch anything on your car. go to walmart and buy a sat rad setup for like 50 bucks. comes with everything except the subscription. and when you get the subscription, you get a free online subscription too. you can put in a new radio, but its gonna cost at least 300 bucks. mine was 600. and its not portable. the walmart one is ultra portable. runs off the cig lighter.

RE: Sirius sat radio
I too love sirius stations and always hated the units that xm was putting out. But ... at work today I saw some of the units that xm is putting out and it made me want to switch to xm. they have the pioneer inno out and it is the first completely live satelite portable unit that you can use inside buildings, subways etc... but the that reception is provided only in large cities dont know much else on it though. Also if you want a cleaner install with whatever unit you get you can hard wire the car kits power into your cars harness and that will be one less wire hangin out...

The programming on sirius is superior to that of XM, regardless of the receiver styling. What comes out of the speaker is what counts for me

RE: Sirius sat radio
What they mean when they say Sat Ready on the Mach in the new stangs is this. You can have the dealer install a sat unit in the car that would be controlled via the stock radio. I was going to do this on my wife's escape, but found out that the unit plus install is almost 600 dollars plus the 12.99 per month.
