I just installed an XM receiver in the Vette yesterday. This is my first experience with a satellite radio, it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Since I’m going to be on the road for two days I thought it might be a good diversion.
I found this XM receiver for a great price at Circuit City ($39 regular $79) and it had good reviews. Then I found a $20 rebate on top of that. When I went to set it up on line I saw a spot to enter a promo code so I did a quick search and found a 3 month free code to use. So I paid for 3 months and got 6 months. I figure if I don’t like it after than I’m not out a lot of money. I also plan to use the receiver to run through the house system so at least I’ll get additional usage from it.
I have the aux set up in my C5 so I can plug in my mp3 player. This unit has an audio output so I’m able to plug in this receiver the same way as I do the mp3 player.
I put the antenna behind the outside passenger side tail light and ran the wire up and out from behind the ashtray. All I need to do is find or make a mounting bracket so I can easily mount the receiver cradle.
