    Who all has satellite radio? I'm looking into buying a sirius radio and hooking it up to my stereo. Of course get an account with that, but I want to see set ups and recommendations of what radio to get.

    It is beast. Someone show their set up! Unless it's built into your stereo. I want to see set ups like the radio I posted.

    Actually, does it really matter on the radio?

    I had a sirius starmate 4 in my old truck & no complaints. Now it stays in the boombox in my garage because the taco has it built in.FYI sirius & xm are one company but have radios each, one wont work with the other & the xm in my taco cost more per month than sirius.I wanted the NASCAR channel & its part of the premium package, with sirius its included.

    Nice. I figured it would be just that. I feel dumb for asking now. Haha. Still looks good.

    Have an iPhone? There is a radio that uses your phone as the controller in the car. Charges your phone too.... Just a thought

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I like the hardwired tuner for my HU best. So that's what I want. Less stuff in front of me to mess with. Just use the HU to control it all.

    satellite radio is great for road trips, don't need to worry about losing reception as you drive.

    before I bought my taco I had a set-up like you pictured in the first post. it was a sirius unit and i had a docking station in my truck and one at work, so i didn't have to buy 2 seperate radios. It worked great. I don't have any pics of it though, sorry.

    FYI, it doesn't matter what radio you get, they all pick up the stations the same, just depends what other options you want.

    It's called a SkyDock, and I have one for sale. Works fine, I put in a new HU over the weekend, and don't need it anymore. $25, and the ride, and it's yours.
