Please keep us posted! I am thinking about this for the gf's car. Does it have output jacks? I really dont like the tape thing or FM mod if I can avoid it.

[B]I just got XM (Alpine unit) and so far am pretty impressed. I was surprised by the commercials, but I believe it is only stations that are syndicated. I was pleased by the bass response.

 

No need to see it! Mine is mounted up inside the dash! GO STEALTH!

 

have you had any problems w/reception?

 

Not a one. Its right up under the dash next to my GPS antenna. Had XM for about 3 weeks now, no reception problems so far.

 

before i had my s, i had my XM antenna on my back deck in my lumina. you could also try putting it on the back deck where the top goes down on the s2000. you should be able to get the signal right through the top. thats where i was going to try mine.
good luck

 

I got the delphi yesterday and am still new to it. I just bought the basic car set as the magnetic antenna is packaged with it. I have not installed it in the car yet as the new HU is sitting in the house. I am runnig the delphi on a 12 volt supply (for an amateur radio ) and using the mag mount car antenna in top of the ham receiver. It is working well on the few stations I have tried it on. This is a single level house with a tall crawlspace. IMHO the home set is not necessary.
Now my problem is to get this hooked into the Alpine 7894
