Another Alternative to Sirius (if you have a SmartPhone)
Downloaded free Pandora app on my Blackberry and plugged it into the aux port... Problem solved... Commercial free internet radio tailored to my likes... Sirius is starting to become old school... And no receiver to buy either if you already have a smartphone anyway...

I have the u2k on my 07 I have an antenae in the front none in the back I always thought the back antennae was for for onstar?
I am pretty positive I have an xm radio seeing how I have several buttons that where saved on the radio from previous owner xm1 xm14 etc.
When I press xm1 it is a preview and they talk about the channels
I believe I pressed the menu button yesterday it showed the auto volume button and also had a button next to it saying xm catalog . (My coworkers car said xm at one point but did not show that option).when I pressed that it said.car.must be stopped
Hopefully this morning it will work on the free preview.
I agree though I used Pandora for about a.year.and just.started using slacker radio
Slacker.com on my Droid incredible 2
In my opinion slacker is much better
I really like how you get to see.the album cover picture.
Still looking for a good mount for my.Droid
Thinking of buying one of the cradles that go Into the cd slot for. Holder.
Oops getting off topic
Hope everyone that can enjoys there free preview of xm.

After listening for the past 2 weeks, I find that every overpass, any size cloud, and every tree too close to the edge of the road is making me lose signal. That and I only listen to 3 or 4 of its channels doesn't justify shelling out extra money for the service. My very first XM unit I had years ago did better than the ones I have had since then. I could be in places with absolutely no view of the sky and still got good quality signal.
