From what I have heard they are going through all the red tape right now. I hope the pricing doesn't go up!

The 12 Volt Industry news stated that the Dept. of Justice approved the XM/Sirius merger, but the FCC has to approve it now...
The purpose, as I understand it, is that the 2 entities will still exist, for now, as XM and Sirius, and pricing should remain the same. :thumbsup:

Thats good to know, I'm wondering for those (like myself) who have both XM and Sirus will we be able to consolidate our billing into one? My car uses Sirus (Eclispe 6610 uses Sirus only), on my computer in my office I listen to XM online (I enjoy the channels here more).

I have a 2005 C6 that came with XM, I have looked at a few different replacement head units with nav and most of them have Sirus. I was told that Sirus is favored more? XM does seem to be better priced.

I just bought a '06 and wanted to swap out to different head unit and keep finding units that are Sirus only. Anyone have a list of XM head units?

I have XM on 3 of my vehicles and love it. When I upgrade the system in my vette, it will have XM also.
