Why bother? You can now get Stern and all the major offerings from Sirius on XM and all the major XM offerings on Sirius. It's not worth the money to switch.

Easy... drink heavily first thing in the morning. Jack is best. This helps numb you for part 2, which is to bang your head repeatedly against hard surfaces. When you really start to feel like you lost most of your senses, and you feel that you have dumbed yourself down to the level of Idiocracy, then maybe... you can get stern. I personally can't get him, not worth the pain... as far as getting him on XM, that is an another issue.

Yes do a search, order the part from grubbs. You'll lose the ability to use the CD changer in the trunk. We ordered a new trunk liner (like $70, but we don't have to ship since we're local) and installed that after removing the cd changer.

Just go to the site and sign up. I think it's like $4 a month extra for all the Sirius channels listed.

aaahg... all they offer is 5 channels, each of it, more useless than the other.

I want Sirius music... why can't I get that?

Let me ask you this... for those of you that have switched to a sirius radio in your cars, does your traffic still work in the nav?

I have Sirius and wish I could get several XM stations. I really prefer XM's 80's, 90's and a few other music stations. I also prefer XM's strong signal in the DC area, but I'm going to keep my Sirius subscription and wait for more a la carte programming.

for those who have 07 and later sedans can install a sirius receiver (plug and play in the trunk) and have it work through the factory head unit. all others can just swap out the reciver, one for the other (whichever you prefer).\

nav traffic still works as long as you are paying.

Really? It is pretty darn silly indeed I agree, and yes, I am being pointless... Sorry that you felt the need to defend Stern... I was joking. Generally I feel about stern the way that I guess you feel about my post.
