My wife's new car has xm radio and I am hooked. What's the best way for me to get it into my little sebring? Thanks,

Dave

easiest: wireless receiver.

Point me in the right direction. Google presents too many options for my uninformed brain. What do you think is the best way to go?

Check crutchfield.com site. They have all the stuff you need to get into the satellite radio technology.

Pick a plug and play receiver (third group here:http://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/)
then you need a car kit or a car and home kit.

Most sell the bundle you need all in one package.


If your car's in-dash stereo already has built in controls, then you have to but that manufacturer's receiver to work with the controls, or, use the above and forget about the built in controls.


Download one of the pdf owners manual from above. Should make more sense of all the parts.

A trip to Circuit City to see the size of the buttons on the things might be prudent.

I have the Roady2 and it works well for me. Is your Sebring a convertible? If so, you might have a problem placing the antenna. My wife has XM built in to the radio on her truck. What I like about mine is that I have the Artist/Song displayed so at a glance I know who's singing and what the title is. My wife has to push a button and wait for it to slowly display the artist.... then 5 seconds later it displays the title.

don't forget that adding a second radio only costs $6.99 a month. Since I registered mine, I get emails all the time for a free radio if I sign up for a year in advance. Try to get in on one of those deals if you can.

I wish the monthly fee was a bit cheaper; both our Hondas have XM built in.

Jeez, there are way too many options. I think I'll just wait till I get my next car and hope it is built in. Does chrysler build xm into their cars?
