    What do you think of these 2 radios? Audiovox Xm onyx and audiovox sirius Stratus 7.

    I'll be buying one of the two soon using points so I'm not concerned with the cost. I just want to get the better of the 2. 20160601_221546.jpg

    I dunno,
    But make sure you get one with replay so you can pause it and replay it.

    I'm still using a xm unit I bought in 2002 or so. About time I upgrade. Thinking about the Onyx Pro myself. Tomorrow is my 50th birthday...so maybe I'll buy myself a birthday present this year!

    Are you still using the Onyx, or moved on to something else?

    Strange that the two services have combined but still using the two different technologies... Not sure if I should get the XM or the Sirius version... I hear there is one that picks up both signals but it's like $20/mo instead of $15.

    What I really want is just the antennae and a converter box that plugs into my iPhone/iPad... Then just connect the iDevice to the radio via Aux or Bluetooth and not need a separate radio.

    That have something similar to this for their pilots and aviation services so I would think it would be possible for a consumer version.
