My 2006 Honda Civic EX (without navigation) is XM ready.

What does it take (equipment, cost of installation etc) to listen to XM music in my car?

Thanks in advance for guidance.

 

a box from honda that costs alot best bet is a plug and play unit that u can take from house to car

 

I see an ad for samsung nexus X50. Can I just plug that into my car?

 

yes u can but i can actualy personally tell you that the recorded music on that peice is hit or miss. xm gave the nexus 50 with car and home kit with a year subsciption for free to employees who completed some tests and i used it for about two months and rarly had good recoreded music on it. if you just use it for live xm or mp3 its great but recoreded xm sucks

 

Yes, I would use it only for live XM music in the car.

So, you think that is a good option?

buy.com has it for free after rebates. Well, I have to make sure that the home and car kit are included.

 

should come with car kit and the home kit is sperate one thing about the nexus is that ur xm subscription isnt in the nexus unit...its built into a card that can be used in a skew of things ranging from the nexus to denon recievers so when u take the xm into the house u have to grab the card too

 

I just found an Audiovox carkit XM radio receiver.
guess that should work. Will let you know if I have any further questions.

Thank you for your help and time.

 

glad to help
