XM satellite radio
I had an XM Commander installed in my '05 4Runner Sport. It fit perfectly in the small tray under the HVAC controls. No wires, brackets, etc., showing anywhere. As far as XM vs. Sirius goes, much is a matter of personal taste. They both have similar number of stations with the main difference being the sports channels that are offered. I personally prefer XM and am more comfortable with the fact that XM has over 5,000,000 subscribers. Additionally, I read that XM has recently obtained the contract to replace MusicChoice on the DISH network. With XM, I have over 130 stations and have not had a problem with frequent repeat of songs or artists. I will never have another vehicle without XM.

I have XM and love it -- I found out through reading a lot on both of them - that XM has more advanced equipment, a larger customer base and more shows coming.
Also - if you read into the financials - if Stern doesn't bring in a lot more subscribers for Sirus --- they might not be around a lot longer. Their short term gain is promising whilst their long term isn't looking so hot. :arrow:
If you really want to listen to Stern - then go with Sirus. I lived in NY for 20 years and had enough of him to last a lifetime - ;-)

I use a Pioneer AVIC-N2 headunit with XM. I do not listen to XM as much as I do regular FM or the iPod(via Pioneer's integration module), but I do use XM's NavTraffic.....I think it is very nice to have for people that have longer commutes.
NavTraffic integrates with the N2's navigation system to give graphical and verbal realtime traffic information.
