i'm looking for someone that has any info on satelite radio for an 04 ram 1500, laramie edition. any info would be great.[8D]

 

What Kind of Info?

 

If you want to change out your head unit check out the head unit i have. Its a Alpine 9820xm. It has a built in xm tuner so all you have to do is put in the head unit hook up the antenna and sign up for service. I did my install in about 15 minutes in the driveway. The whole setup ran me about $400. I just really like the idea that i didn't have to mount and install a whole seperate tuner for the xm.

 

I had the dealer install a factory head unit that was ready for Sirius satellite radio. I've had satellite radio for about 6 months now and I love it. Sirius is much better than XM. It's worth the extra cost per month.

 

I agree with HemiAddict. Sirius is the way to Go.

Kennwood also sells there decks Sirius Ready.

What information were you specifically looking for?

The Audio quality is 100% digitial and better sounding than CD's, 100% commercial Free, 1000's of stations, tons of various types of stations. TOTALLY worth the money if you are a music fan and you travel a lot. BUT the plus side is you can buy a home base unit that allows you play your radio in your home or office. I haven't bought one yet because I put an MP3 player in my truck. BUT its coming and I will be going with SIRIUS Radio.

Alpine is "ok" but some of the Head units out there make Sirius very easy to use. I'd go with Kennwood or Eclipse both are usually SIRIUS ready... Alpine may be the only ones doing XM... actually Sony does as well I believe.

 

If i put it in both my vehicles then would it be 2 payments or 1?

 

Please get Sirius. I bought a couple hundred shares early this year.

 

what did the total package at the dealer cost you. labor/material? and does it look good? can you possibly send a pic?

 

brand you may have or know to be good quality for the money, cost, reliability, that sort of thing.
