XM satalite radio

[joaks]

I am digging through junk left my a friend after she moved. Actually, I'm cleaning her place. Her ex left an XM satalite radio. Does anyone know what needs to be included? It is in a box with a lot of junk. I have the LCD module used to channel selection, the antenna. Not sure what else.
Also, if anyone wants whatever I have I will sell cheap.
Thanks!

A subscription that someone would need to pay for.

Yes, I know this. I just want to make sure I do not recycle necessary hardware.

I'm guessing you need a power adapter. If it's a home unit, then it'll be an A/C adapter. If it's a car unit, it'll be a cigarette lighter adapter or you'd need to hardwire it to the car's battery.

Indeed! Need to find that. So much junk...

Not worth it.

Not worth the subscription or not worth saving?

For the less than $9 a month I pay for "XM Premier", I get my money's worth during my commute which is at least 1 hour each way. Regular radio is dead, especially if you want to hear some comedy talk. If you really grind XM, you can get 5 months for $25.

Is the sound quality great? No. Do I never listen to 85% of the stations? Yes. Criticism aside, do the rock stations on XM play music that would never get on a regular radio station? Yes.

You can probably find an a/c adapter somewhere if you can't find it and want to use the unit.

Throw it on Ebay, as is.

Maybe Sirius is different. My car came with Sirius. After the 6 month trial was ul, I canceled it. It was going to be 300 a year.

Earlier this year, I got another free trial. That was cool ... except for the part where the music stations now had commercials.

I see no point in paying for radio with commercials.

Sirius probably won't activate it with out the previous owner's verification that the radio has changed owners.
