XM+MP3 sounds like a good combo.

Which antenna did you use?

The terk antenna is the only way to go. I think all the other antennas make your truck look like a RC car. Damon

Do you have a picture of the antenna.This is one of the things keeping me from getting XM.I am sure they will come up with a stealth antenna eventually.

Anyone found any hacks for the monthly "membership" yet? I'm all about XM, but like to get "creative" with how I pay for it before buying it.

Later,

It retails for 399 for the one that does MP3's, + another 200 for the XM module, + another 100$ for the antenna.

You still haven't come by so I can carpet the area around your speakers! (It will make it sound better too)

DAMN this rain!

Brandon

PS don't forget about the JuNE 1st track rental!!
