Just a quick post to let you know that I got a new XM Onyx Device and Kit for my car last week! Hubby was nice enough to install it while I was at work! Here is a photo of what it looks like! It's MUCH different than my old one which I LOVED. But I figured it was time to finally move on and get a new one because it fit better in and with my new car - my 2013 Fiat - or as I like to call it "The Wonder Buggy."
I've been a XM (Sirius/XM) Subscriber even before the merge of the two companies. Mostly because I wanted to still enjoy radio without having to listen to the stations I work for (and listen to for 50 hours a week while working) and/or didn't want to listen to our local competitors and feel like a traitor! I still get a lot of negative comments from my fellow radio people because most think Satellite Radio will 'kill' local radio. I don't necessarily feel that way. This is a PAID service were as local radio is ALWAYS FREE. But I can see both sides!
But I don't want to get into a debate about the pros and cons. I just want to show you my new Techie-Type-Toy!
This is a photo of my old device which was an XM Roady! It was awesome! I LOVED it! I'm sure I will LOVE my Onyx but it will take some getting used to change-wise. My Roady was reliable! I had it for nearly 10 years - if memory serves! I never had 1 problem with it!
I'm hoping this new device works just as well if not better! I like the sleek look and the black-techie color matches everything in my Fiat! The screen color we currently have set to a reddish color to match the lights on the dash in the "Wonder Buggy". The only bad part is I have to reset all of my favorites/pre-sets. But at least there are a few more buttons to store my favorites in as I have MANY that I listen to and switch back and forth to often!
Let the music play... Nice to listen while on the road.
ReplyDeleteI listen to it all day (and most evenings!)
DeleteVery cool device. I've been listening to music from my phone lately, but enjoy satellite when I drive hubby's car on longer road trips.
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to Pandora in my kitchen, too! And been Sound Tracking - You should get into that app!
