MIkeKal,

You make a good point on carefully considering which service I eventually subscribe to. Sirius is experiencing well...umm, serious financial difficulties while XM is grabbing more and more of the market. Although I'm one who usually swims against the current, XM is probably the best long term bet for satellite radio service. (Even if I buy XM service, I hope Sirius sticks around too.... companies tend to take their customers for granted when there's no competition.)

It sounds as if you had the same concerns about changing the look of the dash as I do now. I figure 'why reinvent the wheel?' A glove box installation of the control unit sounds like it'll work for me too. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know how it goes.
