You can get all the gear you need (controller, antenna and tuner) for FREE!

If offered the choice, pick the Panasonic or Audiovox setup over the Jensen

Here are some pics from various websites of the different units:

Panasonic

Audiovox

Jensen (Not only is it ugly, it doesnt have very good performance compared to the others)

The second generation chipsets were just released at CES this year. They are giving away the old units to promote the service and make room for the new stuff that will be on the market in a few months.

The thing about the names means that if you want to order more than one unit, you need to have another persons name to go with each one.

Anyone know if the panasonic unit mounts in-dash? Is there a way to use it simply as a remote or must it be mounted in the center console?

I don't think they're doing bad but its a good way for them to make more money. I'm happy with my satelite.

Flipdoutmax93

OK i think im going to order this but i was wondering if there was a certain amount of months you have to subscribe ie year contract or is it monthly plan? Also if you quit after one month, do you have to return the free gear? It sounds like a good deal i just want to make sure i know what i am getting b4 purchasing it.

geo1317

iTrader: (17)

its a one year contract, which you can pay at once for $142, or if you activate before the 26th you can opt for the monthly plan at $12.95.

DaBoxSE

iTrader: (5)

you have to subscribe for a year. I just ordered mine (panasonic), should get it by monday. I'll post when I get it.

mzmtg

iTrader: (11)

They make these stipulations about activation deadlines and contract lengths.

But, I dont know how they plan to keep up with it. When you activate online, they dont seem to have any record of how you got the equipment. They ask you for a new CCard number and just need the actual ESN number off your receiver.

I wouldn't worry too much about deadlines and minimum contracts...

I missed the last one so i definately jumped on this one.....should be getting it by monday........

They said you just had to sign up for a year. You can pay by the month or pay for the whole year and get one of the months for free. I ordered one today and it should be here monday. The Panasonic kit is the one i ordered. While reading about how to hook it up it says that if your radio has an aux input then you can use that instead of the FM Modulator. Does this work with an aux that isn't Satellite ready? I have an aux input that i'm not using on my Pioneer 9200. If anyone knows let me know. Can't beat free stuff.

True. It's like they get people to get the equipment just to sign up but I'm not complaining.

True. It's like they get people to get the equipment just to sign up but I'm not complaining. I went to NYC on Saturday and it was weird listening to the same station the whole way down.

does anantenna come with the panasonic? ive been looking at websites that sell this kit but none of the panasonics come with a a antenaa. i know the adudio vox does but does panasonic?

Mike92GXE

iTrader: (2)

They person i spoke to on the phone said that it would come with the antenna. He said it comes with everything, all you have to do is take the package to a stereo place and have them install it. I asked him if that was part of the deal, taking it and having it installed vs doin it yourself and he said you it doesn't matter who installs it as long as you activate it by the 26th. Kingrye let me know when you get yours.

kingrye

do i need to have it installed to ativate the serice before 26? im gonig on spring break to mexico and want to ativate the service on the 23 when i get back and i want to get aux in put adapters for my alpine

Mike92GXE

iTrader: (2)

All you have to do is make arrangements to pay by the 26th of march. You can install it whenever you get ready.

Will any of the recievers plug into my Kenwood deck or would I have to use the FM modulator? I missed the Kenwood deal but don't wanna miss this one if it's possible. Thanks for the help.

Adam

It depends on what type of Kenwood you have. If you have an auxillary input then you shouldn't have to use the FM modulator. Depends on your deck

hey i was just looking around the Sirius website, and it says that you need to have it installed when you activate your account. take a look here:

Thank you very much to whoever put the link to that thread here. I'm going to order the Panasonic model for my girlfriends 2003.

If I didn't just have my XM equipment installed on my car, I'd get a set for myself.

Ritchie is a popular guy... thanks Ben!

Sway1331

i have a kenwood sirius ready receiver but dont want to run this through a fm modulator, is anyone certain that it will be possible to avoid the fm modulator since none of the specified brands are kenwood. well i guess ill probably call and talk with someone. btw richie was the same name listed to use as a ref on the audiworld post aobut this deal too.

2kSeattleMax

I'm curious about the Kenwood interoperability too. I have the 859 unit and missed the Kenwood Sirius deal.

Sway1331
