Just got back from a round-trip Cincinnati to Cleveland. What a Car! What a sound system!

Set the speed control right at 78 mph (oh well, it's not Germany), and turned up the Sirius (classical for me) on the Logic 7 sound system. Crystal clear, digital quality sound continuously for 250 miles.

I didn't stop once. Never thought about stopping. And when I arrived, I was actually dissapointed to leave the car.

Incredible!

Gosh, I never realized it was any good. Every rental car I get in with Satellite radio, (especially when I travel to San Fran) seems to have horrible reception. I have just always assumed it sucked and 'wasn't there yet'.

I guess that's not the case?

Do you need to have the Logic 7 system for the satellite feature to work? If you don't need Logic 7, how can I get it activated?

Sirius is a satellite radio system that is commercial free and digital, however, you have to pay money every month for it. its an excellent feature, if your getting a new car in the US you should opt for it.

I tried to order Sirius with my car, but I wanted Nav and they said the 2 were not campatible at that time. Has anyone heard any more about when and it they will be able to retrofit Sirius onto Nav built cars??????

You don't need Logic 7 but you do want to have it pre-wired at the factory so the antenna is in the sharkfin. Otherwise the dealer can install it, but I've heard they need to put the antenna on the trunk.
