Default Satellite Radio

How many of you have satellite radio?

Those of you who do, what kind of units do you have, and where in your car are they mounted?

I have XM in my Explorer with a separate receiver that I mounted myself in a relatively inconspicuous place behind the steering wheel. I was able to bury all of the wires in the drivers footwell and under the center console.

I have Sirius in both my daily drivers. Both came with it, so the in dash radio is where they are mounted.

The family has 3 cars with satellite radio. Two with XM, one with Sirius. Although they merged, I still prefer the XM units. They're easier to navigate and more organized. I really like satelitte radio... it's ages better than local or hd.

I have XM in the Corvette but never use it. I have the interface box mounted behind the dash on the passenger side and it is controlled through the Pioneer head unit.

I found that I never listen to it when driving and now with the race mufflers you cant really hear it anyways driving down the road.

Don't have one either, but looking at a Sirius. It seems to be the winner?
