Default HD Radio or Satelite?
So I upgraded my factory car radio which only had AM/FM and cassette LOL! to a Kenwood KDC-MP438U unit. Linky: Kenwood - KDC-MP438U

I'm undecided right now of whether I should go for HD or satelite kit. Which one is better?

satellite hands down no questions asked. I've been a subscriber of Sirius since 2004, and recently purchased a life time subscription. The thought of driving and having to listen to anything related to clear channel frightens me.

Ditto on Satellite.

All you would be hearing are local radio stations with higher quality. With satellite you don't get any commercials and have a huge music choice.

Does severe weather affect the signal for XM or Sirius ?

I keep it real.


Anyone with a quality laser jammer can Jam To Gun (JTG) these days but only a few choosen stealth people can Jam From the Gun (JFG). Here is the list of people so stealth that they Jam From Gun: alpinestars_2002795, TSi-WRX, djrams80, RacerX, Laser-InterceptorUSA, BLINDER-GUY, category4, crazyVOLVOrob.


Happya$$ may think he is stealth but until he can Jam From Gun, and Stealthjamal can't get a punchthrough on the front of his Civic which have 9 jammers he is far from stealth

Have to agree Satellite is the way to go. Just pulled the trigger on lifetime subscription also.

Just to balance it out somewhat, I have XM and love it. Reception is rarely a problem.
