I'm ready to make the move to XM but I'm not clear on which pieces of hardware I need. I basically want to be able to listen to XM in both my vehicle and my home. So here goes the questions I need help with.....
I'm assuming I need BOTH the XM01C AND the XM01HK. Is that correct?
How easy/difficult will it be to move the XM01C between two vehicles or do I need a second XM01C?
What type of output cables does the XM receiver have? Will I be able to connect it to a home stereo reciever or a Bose Wave Radio?
How long is the antenna cable which comes with the XM home kit, XM01HK? I will need at least 10 feet for my application depending on the answers to the following question.
Do I need a southeast facing window in which to place the home kit antenna or will a window that faces east be sufficient? Is this even a consideration? Will I be able to receive the signal almost anywhere in my wood frame home even if I don't/can't place the antenna in or near a window?
One final question...does Sony have any plans to introduce an upgraded receiver anytime soon? Based on what I know about the current model I'm more than a little disappointed that it only has 5 presets and I would personally like to see many more than that.
Thanks for all your help and hope I haven't asked too many questions.
