 Alpine XM Antenna   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Radio works well, sound quality is good, and it makes adding XM to the car really nice since no additional boxes or control panels are needed, just the subscription service and a single wire XM antenna must be purchased.
Reception with the XM antenna in that location has been good both with the current Alpine unit, and with the Roady2 unit I previously had in the car to see if I even liked XM.
So, if you are thinking about XM, the Alpine makes an excellent choice if you want to have both a quality AM/FM/CD unit and XM, and you want to avoid having to add yet another box somewhere in the car, or another control device on the dash.
