Just traded in my old car which I had upgraded to a Kenwood Sirius radio frontend. I decided to leave it the car since my new car had a XM radio as standard. I had given up my steering wheel radio controls when I installed the Kenwood (I know there are gadgets that are supposed to bring the interface back, but what a hassle). It is nice to have these back (plus now I also have voice control). The quality appears to be just as good as Sirius, plus I like the different choice of mixes of music. One thing I find interesting is that with the new car the radio still picks up a signal in my garage (door up), where the old car would cut in and out (even though the Sirius antenna was on my trunk deck and the XM is just forward of the rear window). I got 3 months free service, but I will be subscribing for sure (hey, it's even less expensive, what a deal!)
