XM is your friend, mmmkay?
Filed under: Gadgets, LiveJournal;No CommentsYeah, satellite is where a lot of things are at, and now for me, radio is there.
I broke down and got me a XM Roady2 receiver for 50 bucks and a home kit to boot. So far, I dig it! Sound quality is good, although FM modulation is a bit iffy in my opinion.
The home kit is nice too although the sound level of a direct connection seems low. These are minor glitches to an installation that was painless (although I need to re-wire!) and it does sound off the hook
I have decided something though. All of the wires aren’t needed! I’d pay $150 if xm would do this for me:
* Battery Pack. When you’re alone, you don’t care about wires. When you are out with the guys, it would be nice to put the power away and let it run on battery would be cool.
* FM Modulation makes sense, keep it.
* Bluetooth from the antenna to the receiver. secure enough and kills that annoying long wire.
There you go, xm totally wireless. I’ll accept commission after I get my prototype!
