I think that Ford has done a really good job on sound. The Shaker 1000 in the new car really rocks -- you can load the bass on Rock -- get a lot of detail with classical. I still like XM better than Sirius -- may have to make that change if there's no merger by the time my free 6 mos expires. I have the Mach 460 in my '01 -- and have always felt that it was much better than my other cars too -- so winners across the board.

 

Now that all of the bugs have been worked out of my 1000, I really like it! It's more than enough for those of us who are ever so slightly over the hill!

 

I think the system sounds good, even the 500 sounds pretty good, but I actually prefer the Sirus.

 

my dad has XM in his new truck, i like it. I've never listened to Sirius tho

 

I have both first nwas XM I grew found of then SIRIUS I am liking as its in the car , my XM is totally portable like awalkmen.

 

There's xm in my mom's car, and I like it so much better than sirius.

 

yeah, i might buy a kit for my truck...I work at my local CompUSA, whose days are numbered, but satellite radio is 40% off....

 

I heard they were on the way out...too bad.

 

yeah I worked there since 2004, the company has seen better days...

 

Sorry to hear about CompUSA. Perhaps it's just habit but I like the selection of XM -- more channels and from habit -- easier to access.
The Shaker 1000 grows on me. I only wish that it read more data from sirius -- sort of like the Honda / Acura interfact on XM.

 

^? whats the diff?

 

Acura / Honda has scolling lines -- you get more than just channel info -- you get channel and artist / song info on the standard display.

You may get more info with the Nav and 500 combo -- but not with the 500 or 1000.

 

Hey I get all the info with Sirius I think Artist year song title, staion & type of music depends info radio station sends out, or if you elect you can browse the sat by gener ? ie Holiday\rock\dysney\country etc. that's the way my 500 works it.

 

High of 37 degrees today. Heat wave... were having a tropical heat wave....

Hey, we'll take what we can get......

 

I may even break out the convertable...if it don't rain!

 

Don't want to brag about the weather too much. But I will break the top off this week as we're expecting mid 70s and sun Mon and Tues. The South . . .

 

I heard 39 today. To bad it's all cloudy and foggy. Plus everything's all wet and sloopy.

 

I do love SC's weather!

 

they put down so much salt here in Rhode Island that the road are completely dry, but all white

 

I hate all that salt. It makes me want to
