Yup. I have to activate it about every day at work. Shouldnt take you more than 10 minutes to recieve all 100 channels.

We have only had a couple of people complain about reception in the deep woods, or in downtown Seattle, where the satelite signal cant penitrate. If you have a GPS signal You will get XM signal. Is it worth the money.......$10 a month for 100 channels of commercial free music. I guess if you spend that much time in your car then yeah its worth it.

Starting next year Honda is pairing XM satelite radio with their on board navigation for up to the minute traffic reports and course deviation in sixteen major US markets. If you have a route plotted on the navi unit and there is congestetion or an accident it will suggest alternate routes and redirect you. To me that is worth the $10.

the only way i really could see it being worth it is if you do alot of long distance driving. driving around locally i would much rather listen to my local stations, jmo tho:o ;)

We sell Sirius and XM where I work, both are definitely better than the local stations. Although they still play the same songs over and over again on a majority of the channels. I get so sick of hearing Usher's "Yea" everytime I start up my truck.
