Sony XM Radio for your Car, Home, or Both

With a Sony XM Radio and a subscription to XM, you’ll have access to the satellite radio service which provides 70 music channels and 29 news, talk, and sports channels for a low $9.99 monthly fee. We’ve all complained at times that there’s “nothing good” to listen to on the radio but your listening tastes would have to be incredibly particular not to find something to like among the 130 channels you’ll be receiving on a Sony XM radio.

The selections include ten rock channels, three comedy channels, and channels devoted to hits by decade going back to the '40s. Since satellite radio services tend to take more risks in its programming, you can expect to hear a greater variety of uncensored songs beaming in through your Sony XM Radio than you typically would on your old FM dial.

The Sony XM Radio (model DRN-XM01) is small — about the size and shape of a radar detector. You can install the Sony atellite radio receiver yourself, but you may prefer to have an audio shop do so to hide the wiring, particularly the cable that goes to the roof antenna (a small and cool-looking stubby shark fin shape).

If you’re looking to purchase a Sony XM Radio or receiver, or already have one, look for the “XM Ready” logo on the chassis. This ensures full compatibility with the XM service. These tuner modules are usually installed in the trunk of your car and connected to the head unit with an interface cable, much like a CD changer.
