The only problem with the S550 LE

....it doesnt fit in my garage!

when my parents first bought it last month and brought it home, we parked it in the garage and theres still about an inch or two sticking out. So yea, we have to park it in the driveway. SUCKS!

but other than that, it's PERFECT!

Your garage is not standard

size if the S550 doesn't fit in it.

Sorry to hear, but I almost had the same problem. I IMMEDIATELY measured the garage and compared the measurements to the car's dimensions. It'll fit with 3 inches to spare!

But not satisfied, I went ahead and made a scale drawing of the garage, and stuck an overhead shot of the S550 in it. Not only was it a kick to see that it DID fit, but I also got an idea what the entry/exit would be against the side garage walls.

I'll have to upload the pic here for a good laugh.

How long did it take to get the Sirius Radio up and running. You have to call to activate it correct?

It should set up in about 5 minutes. I activated mine at the dealership...you call a number, give them the # of the unit on the screen and personal info to establish the account and a password. Then you just wait for activation to show on the screen and then enjoy the music. I find myself using SIRIUS almost all the time vs. CD's or FM.

If you have a three or more stall garage, park it sideways!
