Question Sirius S50 Unit??

Has anybody used this Satalite Radio? I would love to buy it and put it in my car. Please post comments if you have any thoughts....good or bad??

I'm looking at this unit with the car and the home unit so that I can listen from both in-car and in-home enjoyment!!

How would I hook it up?? I'd rather not use the FM modulator because the loss of quality right?? Can it be hooked up to the AUX and improve the quality??

Please help................Thanks!

I have the S50. Used it in my everyday car and work and home. (now I have a factory radio - - new car).

It is a very good unit. I still use it (work and home). Good quality, nice features. It seems to require a reinstall of the software every now and then. The song saving capabilities, and recordability of current content is nice.

Consider this vs. the new stilletto. The stilletto supposedly allows listening away from a base station (the s50 requires car docking or home docking to get the satellite signal).

I used the FM modulator. There was a little loss in quality, but not too bad. I did not have an aux hookin. At home, requires some amplified speaker output, as well.

I've decided to just put the full Sirius Unit in to go with my Kenwood In-dash. (SIR-KEN1) It comes with an antenna!!

I have an S50, I like it a lot, but I hate that stupid **** on the car kit. It lasted all of 3 days before it broke.
