I have been with Sirius (and loving it) since early 2003. I have a kenwood head unit that controls the tuner under the seat. When I got mine, it came with the seperate dashboard controller in case you were not installing into a Sirius ready head unit. But I obviously don't use it.
Anyways on trips in the wifeys car, which we use for longer hauls, I go nuts w/o it. So what I do is toss my tuner, and a few adapters for power and RCA to cassete tape adapter all in a cardboard box and hook it up that way. Controlling it with the "spare" dash controller, which I just lay on the center tray. Sure aint pretty but it lets me take it along.
However I have been contemplating a plug-n-play. I understand that the sound degration going from the direct connection I have now to an FM modulator would be very disapointing. So I would want on with a line out so I can hook it up more directly (there is an input adapter I can get for indash unit) while in my car. In hers then I would just use the wireless FM modulator and make things alot easier.
I want to know are the antennas that I have now with the square connections incompatible with the newer units? And how are these for performance and sound quality? Will I be disapointed? I would also like to more easily bring it in the house, especially for Packer games. Although I do still do it with my "box" setup, it loses the presets everytime and is annoying to hook up. I sort of find that small visor unit interesting, though it may be too small.
