It's kinda like the Beta versus VHS wars, where the "better" 8mm standard lost.

but the killer app for sat radio is HOWARD STERN. and HS picked sirius since XM is partly owned by clear channel, his current nemesis...

The biggest thing is the NFL. They have a multi-year contract with Sirius and that alone will keep them afloat for a long time if nothing else. Plus their subscriber rate is increasing at a much greater rate than XM. Plus plenty of manufacturers offer Sirius, the biggest being Ford, you just think they only offer XM because GM pounds into your brain.

Question Sedan Owners:

Where did you mount your antenna and how did you run the wires inside ?
Thanks

Thanks guys for the replies. Looks like the trunk is the easiest install for the antenna.

Another antenna idea : just throw it on the dash.

I did that in my latest WRX install (SkyFi2), and it works probably 95% as well as the old one did on the roof. It is over on the corner of the dash, completely out of the way and NOT conspicuous.

kappaWRX : nice job on the Roady2 install, very clean!

Thanks for the idea,Ed. I'll keep that in mind too. I'll remember to check yours out when next season starts, if I don't have my antenna by then.
