XM or Sirius for AVIC-D2, which one to get? Why?

Posted May 17, 2007 · 17:58 UTC#1

Hey all,

Im looking to buy either the XM GEX-P920XM or the Sirius SIR-PNR2 add on. But Im not sure which one to get? Pioneer's website made mention of Sirius having limited functions and to refer to my manual about it.

But I cant seem to find anything about anything being limited. And the dudes at BB are trying to sell me the Sirius one, saying it works fine.

And I kinda like Sirius better, but I want my D2 and whatever I buy to have all the functions it can.

What do you all say?

Thanks!

Yeah, I went XM because I was told the hardware interfaces better with the D2. And being that they are merging at some point in the near future, left me thinking, well if I can get all the channels, I might as well get the unit that works best with the D2.

Anyways, off to install it now! w00t!

If you have NavTraffic offered in your town, you'll benefit from XM over Sirius for sure...but only if you bought the GEX P10XMT and subscribe to NavTraffic. :wink:
