Sirius vs XM?
Does anyone have an opinion on which is better: Sirius or XM satellite radio? I've been thinking along the lines of Sirius, but only because, in my opinion, you can't beat a Kenwood head unit and Kenwood has built in Sirius controllers. But if XM is going to be a better deal, I can just add one on to whatever head unit I have. Thanks in advance!

Sirius vs XM?
its mostly a matter of opinion i went with XM because i have a nice Pionner XM ready head unit that i didn’t want to give up. Plus i never listened to Sirus very long i have heard it's all commercial free as opposed to XM but the only commercials i have ever heard are on the news channels which they take straight from the TV so you get those commercials. I would say go with what ever brand your head unit works with and if you still have the stock one go with whatever head unit you like and then go with the brand of satellite radio it works with I’m sure you will be happy with whatever one you go with. I love mine, cant stand FM anymore.

I would skip Sirius. There is a definite digital distortion with Sirius. At first I didn't notice it but now I can't even stand to listen to it anymore. Check this link out:

I'd just buy the Kenwood, then buy the Delphi XM tuner for it, it works nice and isnt that expensive, but i wish you better luck than i, because i went to get it and no one has the RF modulators in stock. I want one so bad i can taste it lol.
