i recently heard SAT radio in my friend's car. quite nifty. what do you guys think?

chrislis

i have it.

cost of ownership: 5 cups of coffee per month.

Eh other than bpm abd area stations kinda worthless.

IF they have a station(s)/music that you like...then absolutely.

I have sat radio and couldn't be happier.

Wasn't worth a cup of coffee, let alone 5. I listen to what I want to with my iPod hookup.

I listen to it all the time. Which is strange when I have 18,000 songs on my iPod classic. I guess I like the randomness of the genre I tune into. I could do the same on my ipod, but with more fiddling. I listen to Area, BPM, Chill, and 1st Wave. You could remove all the other stations and those 4 alone are worth it to me. My .02

hmm well i have a good amount of songs on my ipod. i actually lost a lot of music when i had to switch out hard drives on the comp. had to reformate the ipod too. =/

but it is nice to have a good amount of selection here and there. just gotta see if its worth that 5 cups of coffee

Let me contribute.

I used to have it but now stream pandora radio from my iPhone via Bluetooth. I like it much better and it's free... I don't want to give up my coffee

Mka77

Free and coffee. Can't go wrong there.

Pandora

Pandora is good too, except does not work on road trips well. I use that in a car that does not have SAT, and when you hit the highway, it drops out a lot on both Verizon and ATT in rural areas. So much so you can bear to listen. SAT does no suffer from reception issues in open country.

I just got Sat radio in my new daily driver (the Lexus was just totaled on the 405). Didn't really care for sat radio at first but after living with it for a few days I am surely liking it a lot now... OK for anyone that is interested I couldn't get the MB Dealerships to do any kind of a deal on a C350. I felt like I was trying to do a deal with Ford or Chev.

used my iPhone and pandora to and from the masters today ATL to Augusta....no issues.
but I agree that a dedicated sat unit would maintain better signal overall, but I still go back to free for when I get a bad signal... command, play playlist... iPhone playlist

I have sat radio and I love it. It's really good for traveling

i have satellite radio and i love it because i commute from MA and RI frequently and it saves me the trouble of switching stations and stuff. i bought my car used and the previous owner must still be paying for it because its been over a year and the sat radio is still working.

i listen to hits 1, the blend, and bpm.

^ thats lucky

i forgot about pandora. i will probably stream from pandora to my avic. now just gotta figure out how to do it with bluetooth

midnight AMG

Whoa

You can stream pandora via iPod connector?

What about you tube?

bheng

with my avic, if i have my iphone connected and search something on youtube, it will play the audio from it, not the video

Cartronics

With factory systems you can set up to stream both audio and video.

bheng

haha didnt know that.

when i used pandora without wifi, its kind of laggy, does that happen to you guys too?

dynomite05

Nope
