I have been thinking of getting a satellite radio system. Anybody got it? How do you like it? Any pics of the install in a 914?

I had Satellite Radio for a few days in a rental car and for a metropolitan area i have to give it an overall thumbs down. Driving around downtown San Francisco it cut-out so often, i couldnt keep it playing thru an entire song. I also found that many of the stations really weren't all that different programatically from something you could find for free... at least in the bay area. Granted there were a few unique ones, which did keep my interest but in the end, i was mostly listening to stations that i owned most of the music they played. If i want commercialess tunes that i owed, why not go with soemthing like randomplay on VW's iPod hookup.
The experience would have been totally different if i were cruising rural areas on a long road trip. I could see there that satellite might have its advantages.. (if youre a person thats not into listening to Nationallly-broadcast conservative talk radio, Christian Rock, or Mexican Polka ...which happen to be the only 3 things i can find on my radio when im cruising the interstates) ...but once again, if you have the iPod, no problem. anyways.. thats my 2 cents. |
