I think it sucks too...owner bought a month subscription and cancelled it after a week.
There is another one that is supposed to be really good.
EDIT - Oh, the sound quality part, didnt even see that  I dunno, we got good sound at the shop, just alot of shit stations.

Are you using the an FM transmitter?? If it's not plugged directly into atleast a tape player it will sound like ass.

XM works great with the FM transmitter and even better with the tape adapter in the car or stereo hook up at home.

I thought good sound quality was the point of satellite radio?
ahhh .. maybe you don't live in an area with good coverage?
| Quote: | | In the US, FM radio frequently has superior sound quality compared to the Sirius and XM radio feeds. This is a result of broadcasters use of low bit-rate codecs to place too many channels in inadequate bandwidth. |

The FM transmitter is the problem, but still the music is still compressed, so it will never be CD quality. They advertised CD quality.
Me thinks.
Good idea of pluging into the tape player. I will have to find one.
thanks  |

Got the tape player adapter, works good, sounds like tape quality.
Learned a lesson, if you get satellite radio, hardwire it. Forget the FM transmitter.

go to the back of your deck, might be hard to reach but anyway there is a be a aux cable u can use to hook it up directly to the deck.. thats what i did with the Ipod.. FM transmiter SUCKSSSSS , you cant turn up the volume more than %75 and still it sucks... better find that aux unit.

If you spent many hours on the road, then it would be worth it.
But it is the future. Just like cable TV when it first came out. |

$99 inboard receiver. Might be hard to fit in, but it is hardwired in.
That is what what I wish I would have got.

Depends on the head unit you have.
I tried this on my Pioneer only to find that... The aux line goes directly to the speakers. Not through the unit = no amplification = no volume adjustment other than iPod = loudest setting lower than cruising road noise... oh well.
But if your aux goes through the unit then this works excellently  much better than with a tape. |
Ditto about the Pioneer i couldn't hear a damn thing out of it so now i just use the tape it sounds damn good with an ipod. |
