Audiovox SIR-CMB3 Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver and Docking Station from AudioVox. The list price is around US$149.99.
This plug and play works great!
My confusion comes when trying to get the boombox accessory. Dose the sir-bb3 boombox work with this plug and play? The reason I am confused is because when I went to purchase the boombox I was told it only works with the sir-pnp3 plug and play!?!?!?! They don't explain that very well.

Pioneer Airware MyFi XM Portable Satellite Radio from Pioneer.
I bought this unit thinking I could walk around with the radio and listen to XM. However the reception is horrible without being plugged into the car or home base and thus the antenna. So why spend $300 when you can get a cheaper unit with home and car adapters for a lot less and not be so upset at the wasted money.

Audiovox XCS9 XM Satellite Radio Receiver and Docking Station from Audiovox Electronics. The list price is around US$169.99.
Within 2 hours of purchase, I had stock quotes and sports scores streaming across my favorite stations saved in my preset channels.
This has got to be one of the most user friendly units out there. I've seen (and like) the SkyFi2, but this unit is much more intuitive for the user.
I like the one button FM tuner in case you need to switch frequencies near a large city. I use the built in FM modulator and drive the panhandle of Florida on I-10 from Marianna to Jacksonville regularly with excellent reception the entire way.
I placed the antenna on my dashboard and get very good results.
I'd recommend the Audiovox to anyone!

Delphi SA10109 Delphi XM Roady2 Personal Audio System from Delphi Products. The list price is around US$149.99.
Sign up for the newsletter and special offers online through XM! I also only paid $20, including the shipping! No way would I pay $100-$150, (and I've seen even higher on eBay....with bids!). It's a bit bulky to carry around, but not bad for an easy conversion. Much better reception than I accepted, not like I can complain for $20! My husband has XM built into his truck radio and it will definitly be the way I go in the future because I am not always pleased with the sound quality with the FM reception through my car radio, but now with this system I think I will use my Roady2 a lot more. I also think the case is built pretty good, maybe for over a hundred bucks it feels cheap, but for $20 it feels pretty good. I feel bad for those that paid the higher price, but it's nice to see a company actually do something for it's current customers and not just the new ones.
