Message I've been running an XM receiver in the Z running through my Pioneer head-unit since April

Pros:
-Receivers and digital decoders are cheap nowadays. You can get the hardware almost anywhere (Wally-World, Best Buy)
-Lots of stations, usually you can find something you like.
-Commercial free, but sometimes have extended promotions of their shows and other channels.
- Song, Artist information displayed on the unit, I've tracked down some great stuff I'd never heard before and got the cd's.

Cons:
-Reception cuts in and out in downtown areas, heavy treed areas, tunnels (dhu!)
-Music quality varies from station to station, and sometimes song to song
-Lots of repetition of pop music, just like FM stations if you're into that.
- Antenna crapped out at the end of May (no reception error). Took it back to where I bought it, over the counter exchange.

Overall, very happy with XM service in the Z, best antenna mounting point behind the centre of the t-tops.

The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song;
it's rolling, roaring automotive art.
There is no color that doesn't suit it.
There is no mood-lifting chemical
substance it cannot replace.

Torque gets you up to speed, and HP keeps you there :
