XM Radio Choce help.....

Just a question wondering which unit I should get. Its wither the Alpine CRA-1667RF and the Alpine TUA-T020XM or the Pioneer GEX-FM903XM unit. I currently have the Alpine IVA-800 for a headunit. I was also wondering if anyone has installed thoer antenna inside their car if so how much of a difference does it make becasue I would have to put the thing on my Max. Thank you for any help with this.

I am considering the Pioneer Gex-FM903XM unit myself. But the guy at best buy told me that NONE of the pioneer models will scroll the song title and artist. The owners manuel of the fm903xm indicates it will scroll past the 1st 8 characters. I want to know song title and artist. If this is true why can't pioneer get their **** together? This isn't 1975, I am sure they had to "test" the units before they tossed them on the public.

Where to put the head piece is the question. I was thinking above the air ducts in the middle on the 2k2. I want to keep the bose unit for now.

I would not get the "glass mount" antenna, it is HUGE. Go with the smaller antenna.

keep intouch. I am still "on the fence" about purchasing XM for now.
What sucks is the search engine here will not let me search for
"xm radio" in any shape or form I have tried quotes usng AND and still can not get this fourms search engine to take it.

Yeah I know about the searcht function thing tried it myself. The thing with the antenna is that I dont want it on the outside at all I want to mount it in my car. I have heard of a few people doing this but I cant find anything on it anymore. It really sucks that it wont display everything. I wonder if the Alpine will???or if I can get the display to come up on my IVA-800. Please help anyone!!!! thanks for any help everyone.

Ok I was wondering if the pioneer GEX-FM903XM or the Pioneer DEH-P3370XM which one will work the best with my Alpine system. I really dont feel like paying 500+ for the alpine add on especially since it is only a FM modulator, aand as I see it I cant even see the display on my IVAC800 or have a direct digital connection to it. Will I have any problems with the pioneer unit if I add it??? thanks for any help.
