Well, after f-ing around for 3 days with a starmate sirius radio, trying to make it work, calling tech support, and getting nowhere, I took it back and got the xact radio. Works great! and matches the amber glow of my car gauges. I still can't understand why my starmate download the channel lineup and then forever said "acquiring signal" it had 100% satellite signal strength, it drove me nuts, I almost gave up on sat radio before I started, but I'm glad I got the other one. Was $20 more, but oh well. I listened to "raw dog" comedy station on the way home, busted up laughing a few times. Now I have to get another car kit for work, and the home setup.
