ahh the classic debate on satellite radio. is it official that honda went with XM? i personally like Sirius better

 

[DJ-PRIME90]

it would probably be compadable with both. like the Element with an auxilary jack somewhere on the dashboard to connect MP3, Ipod, XM, Sirus, etc.

 

[albundy]

auxilary jack makes a messy install, wires show.

 

[DJ-PRIME90]

but some owners of the Element have opened their dashboards and stored any extra length of wires.

hehe here dvds go for about $5 and cds for $4 but thats without haggling

plus cops around here are really cracking down on selling illegal copies or "piracy" as they call it. a well known store by where i live got shut down by police because they were selling copies of cds. the cops took everything, including their computers with fire sharing programs on them and teh cds

everytime i see one of those anti-file sharing billboards in the mall or along the highway or elsewhere i laugh. like thats gonna stop people from downloading free music

personally id rather have an extra 10 bucks in my wallet every month instead of having satellite radio but to each is own

 

[albundy]

yea... i believe sirius had a lifetime offer, $500 one time, subscription for life... wow cant believe i passed that up

 

[ever12]

id pass.. $500 would buy a crapload of blank cds too

 

[mininsx]

I prefer Sirius too...

I thought I read somewhere sometime back that the government was going to make mfg's of Satellite radio make their components to where the customer could choose either XM or Sirius...

I've yet to read anymore on the issue, which sucks because I'd rather have Sirius too...

I reckon if I buy an SI/Nav I'll install a carputer and have Sirius through that system...

 

[jdm8thgen]

um i have sirius and i call to see if there was an interface to be able to chang the xm to sirius. there is one. A company makes it. i call and they only have older hondas. plz start calling the guy to make the interface for newer hondas. the site is this: WWW.SOUNDGATE.COM

Off topic a bit, but does this DVD based Navi system play DVD's also?

 

[achap]

just get you a 2 GB SD Card and load directly into the digital audio card reader located behind that flip down navi

No, they don't. For safety reasons of course. They don't want the driver distracted. I'm assuming.
I'm sure you can do some rewiring ro something to make it work?
