Well Wifey’s new Tahoe and the Vette have XM which is pretty cool but only free for 3 mos. There was no way I was going to pay $15 a month and only be in the car a few hours a week.Then a guy at work was telling me you can buy something and take it w/ you wherever you go,car to car, etc. Is this true?Does it work w/ headphones?I have no idea how this works so make sure you dumb down your answers for me.

yeah, they have the xm2go MyFI, which i had the pleasure of dating a girl all summer who had one/let me take it with me. Pretty cool, you can record songs off of it too. It comes with headphones like a cd or mp3 player, but also has docking stations for the house and car, with external antennas that get a lot better reception. ---

Sirius had the s50 which was discontinued cuz people hated how you couldn’t get live feed, and they’re realeasing the Stiletto in the next few months which gives you completely portable Sirius. XM however has had this technology for quite a while and they recently released the Pioneer Inno, Samsung Helix, and Samsung Nexus which are all pretty sick. XM seems to always come out with better units way before Sirius can release anything to compete. ---

if you wanna check out some different options, portable, car-car, etc. stop into my work (stereo advantage) we have a bunch of options between sirius and XM. realistically if you want more sports and howard stern, go sirius. ---

the XM to Go and its Sirrius counterparts are pretty nice. we sold a ton of them when i wokred at Stereo Advantage. personally, the whole satelite radio thing never really caught on for me. i have a 30 gig iPod with a few different playlists that have a few hundred songs each in each of them and i just use that in the car and wherever. its like my own personal radio station. ---

After driving a rental with sirius for a week I can honestly say XM\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>Sirius, the station selections are about the same, but the thing that pissed me off about sirius, there is no buffer and signal sucked. You drive under a bridge and teh signal would cut out, with xm if you did that you would never notice. With sirius the moment I got in my parking garage at work it would cut out. with xm it only fades in and out depending on the location in the garage. Dave the only reason that you like sirius more that XM is because that is the only stalite radio that eclipse supports, and imo lost my purchase. ---
