I have sirius and am very happy with it, Ive heard XMs programing but not enough to say if its better or worse, though I know each of them work very hard to keep their programing very comparable to each other, for most people it seems to come down to the one type of music thier most partial too, so keep that in mind if someone says either is good or bad, they might be judging it on programming you wouldnt even listen to regularly

oh yeah, no doubt

either way you go it BLOWS regular readio away, not just because of comercials or static, but radio stations are all way too constrained in what they play and all you hear is commercial bs over and over.

Im old enough to remember a time before cable tv and only getting up to channel 13, then getting cable and was blown away. Yeah, its kinda like that

Get XM. Many new cars support xm now... just see here: http://www.xmradio.com/cars/
This level of investment says a lot, where sirius has nothing close.

Sirius is going to die... mark my words. I have 2 xm units and I'm very happy with it.
Don't get stuck holding useless sirius hardware =).

Here's the latest stock info:

I would agree with HellaDumb because more and more OEM's seem to be leaning towards XM. All I see all over the place is XM in comercials for Cars and other things and I think that I have only seen 2 Serius comercials ever.
