marioman Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Hello All, I am not to familiar on how Subaru option out their cars, but I was wondering do you guys think there will be a XM or Sirius Option for the car? Or do you guys think we will have to go aftermarket for the XM/Sirius setup? From the pictures that I have seen of the stock Radio System I don't see a "Sat" button. If we go aftermarket and keep our stock Radio system, Does anyone know of a good place to put the control Unit that switches the stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Bah! I'm not paying 10 bucks a month to listen to the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm3 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 It is worth the 10 bucks. Seriously. I didn't think so either but NOT listening to 20 minutes of commercials every hour *IS WORTH* $10 a month. Seriously. -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 That's why I like havinga 6-disc, but MP3 capability would make it all the much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Wouldn't be worth it to me- the stereo already has umpteen radio channels and 6 CD's to listen to. Only thing I'd get it for is the comedy station. I like listening to standup in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm3 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Radio channels do not compare to XM :) Commercial FREE think about that. Next time you are listening to the radio in your car, EVERYTIME you hear a commercial think this to yourself "For only .33 a day, I could be listening to music right now, instead of this stupid commercial." Do this for every commericial you hear on FM. Oh, and the comedy channelS are awesome :) Yes, I am an unofficial XM SHILL! I love the service, and although my first reaction was "*PAY* for radio? That's STUPID"...You'd now have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers. -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 When you put it like that it sounds attractive. I'd like to have the comedy stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 XM Roady is now $120 and includes everything you need to install XM on your radio plus you can take it inside and to different cars Im waiting for Opie and Anthony or Howard Stern to announce which SatRad they are planning on going to.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Do you have to plug it into the tape deck or how exactly does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 it has 3 ways to connect: wireless radio wave (tune to a station to pick up the signal) Tape deck RCA or Line In its pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I don't think there's a line in for the Subaru radios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 you can use the wireless radio wave then [url]http://www.xmradio.com/roady/[/url] it doubles as a power supply and a radio transmitter. you set your FM radio to the XM radio channel that the transmitter uses and voila, wireless XM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I'll probably get XM or Sirius eventually since I am starting to get sick of the local stations. And my Pioneer head unit that I'll be installing has RCA inputs for it. Might as well keep the superior sound quality compared to regular radio. :D -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I have the Sirius option! [img]http://home.comcast.net/~nlehmann/leg/int1.jpg[/img] It is definitely worth it, especially if you do a lot of travelling or if your daily commute goes between radio markets like mine does (I get Philly stations near home and NYC stations near work) I also love the stand-up comedy and traffic/weather channels. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkLegGt Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I've got the larger AUDIOVOX one from SIRIUS that used to fit perfectly in front of the ashtray in my '02 WRX. Now, I don't know where to put the damn thing (and I LOVE it!). I really won't put in on the dash (as you have, pictured above - no offense), just too much in the line of sight...and fugly in such a perty interior...plus the wires...meh! Any ideas, fellas? -Steve ps: Allen is right, satellite is worth every penny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Well, I have XM now. It's awesome and O&A rule :) My headunit in the BMW has a 1/8" IN on the front so I just use that. Does anyone know if the factory headunit has an Audio IN yet? If not I have my radio frequency thingy too (I use a regular DC adaptor and got the wireless one free with the purchase) I just need to buy another antennae.
