Yes, I have them sitting in the garage waiting for an opportunity to be able to get the underside of the car clean enough to install them (can't wash it at home this time of year, and can't drive home from the car wash without it getting coated underneath where the guards go).

Don't understand why they would not be available - unless it's either a supply or a colour issue.

"The satellite radio service is spotty because any geostationary satellites are quite low on the horizon."


Just FYI, Sirius satellites are not geostationary (3 sats, in overlapping orbits, so that two are always visible), so you might give them a try.

This comment was directed to my questioning in regards to satellite phone usage, not Sirius.

Don't think so....but could be wrong. Iridium, along with most other sat phone satellites are not in geostationary orbit either. Iridium sats are in polar orbit, so he shouldn't have much issues with the sats being low on the horizon. XM on the other hand would be very low on the horizon seeing as how they are geostationary over the equator. Either way....useful information for anyone living that far north

Yes, I am looking forward to the merger with Sirius and XM - as the car comes with XM.
