AnthonyR Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 No, the antennas are not compatible, they recieve different frequencies. You could either get an aftermarket HU or get something like a plug and play unit like the sportster replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomin850 Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Sirius is way better IMO. XM just plays all the same songs over and over in a loop. Plus we have Howard now too. YAY for Sirius! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew_the_fox Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 what is sad about delphi XM? I have the Roady unit, and it is awesome.I've got a Roady II installed in my front armrest, did that over the summer! I don't have any complaints with it. XM Seriously kicks a.ss, Sirius is a joke, XM has over 6.5 million subscribers, where Sirius has barely 3. I wouldn't be surprised if they went out of business. And I do have experience, I have listened to both, my cousin has sirius in his car and the sound quality was nowhere near XM's. From what I have read they aren't using as high quality equipment as XM because of monetary reasons.Sirius is way better IMO. XM just plays all the same songs over and over in a loop. Plus we have Howard now too. YAY for Sirius! I haven't heard a considerable amount of repeat songs on XM, and there are tons of channels. Looped playlists, and the same songs and genres are on terrestrial radio, not on satellite. And about Howard Stern, he is a cranky old man that just complains about everything, he's washed up, earlier in his radio career he was funny, now, he is not funny, and completely dillusional about his popularity.These guys are the funny ones in satellite radio.
