I've been looking at getting one of these.

I want something I can use in the Jeep as well as take along biking. I've visited Best Buy and Circuit City a few times to get more info., but I'm curious to know the experience's of those who actually have something like this.

No experience w/ them bud. Sorry. I just picked up the mini MP3 player for the gym and my bike rides. No monthly fees and songs you want to hear. I had thought about it, but...not for me yet...unless I was doing a lot of long road trips in BFE.

I'm not sure what to do. The cost is fairly substantial too!

-$249 for the 'Stilletto' (found on Amazon for $180)
-$400 for the "lifetime" subscription to Sirius
-$150 for hardwiring the Jeep (approximate)
--------
-$800 before tax :(

Maybe I'll put the money away, and save it towards the 5th Gen.?

Remember,
XM & Sirius are supposed to merge early in '08.
See my response on "the other board".

You know what? I'd actually hold off. Isn't the Camaro supposed to come w/ an XM satellite radio? I'm sure it can all be rolled into a package when you purchase your Camaro. Then again, I don't know how you want to work it w/ having a portable XM satellite radio...? If it's $400 for the lifetime deal, I might go for it when purchasing the Maro. We'll see.
