Re: Looking for recommendations on Sirius radio units


Hi,
I have owned a couple Sirius units and am a multiple unit subscriber since late 2002 early 2003 if my memory is right. My first unit was Audiovox with car dock, indoor dock and boombox and I now have new unit dedicated for the car. There are several models from the "Sporster" on up and it really boils down to the look and features you want, having owned 3 units I can tell you now they all sound the same and being that your playing limited bandwidth music sound is not something that is gonna change much. Just make sure you install yourself if possible as it is so simple its silly to pay what the stores charge and make sure if unit will be used at home you have a ideal area that can be reached by the standard 20ft wire for signal. 2 units I have are tuned by selecting a empty radio station in car, the first deck I got only allowed 3 channel frequencies to choose from and sometimes it didnt work because of stations in the way...my newest unit allows every single step in FM so just in case please make sure you get that sort of adjustability if you do not intend to hard wire the head unit.
Again with all this in mind it really boils down to what you like as they all sound the same, some do allow to record and save songs and have more detailed display but thats about it.
