Jeff...I currently have a Clarion head unit...XMD1 or 2...I think....it was the stock model in the 2002 models.
I have XM built into my Acura RL (best sound system in any car OEM today).
I tried sattelite radio and found I was still changing stations. Now I just run my iPod through the radio. I have 14 hours of music that is my "greatest hits." I like it much better than sattelite and I don't pay a monthly fee.
Doesn't Acura use bose speakers? Never heard anyrhing even half-way decent from bose.. except for their marketing bullsh.. um.
With sat radio I'm probably hearing tracks I already own, but it's at someone else's planning. Never underestimate the value of a DJ (even if it's pre-programmed one like those wretched Jack radio stations).
to that end so does the random setting on the iPod with Playlists....
Sat radio also does a pretty good job of exposing new music, along with digging to the 'back of the rack' for somewhat obscure older material.
Digging deeper into the disk is awsome..... Satelite reminds me of things I own and need to revisit
Is it "worth" the monthly? Eh, I could go without it if budgets demanded. But I'd really like to have a portable unit that could go between the boat, car and home and ALSO remain integrated with their built-in controls. None do this, and I'd venture it's not in the Sat company's best interests anyway. The good thing is I can (and do) suspend the subscription on the boat during the winter months.

If you like listening to your own music, over and over, then satellite would certainly seem like a waste. But personally I tired of listening to music I already own. Even with over 4k tracks I still find it a little repetitive.

Yes, Acura does use Bose. Have you listened to the surround sound in a new Acura? It's outstanding in my opinion. Your assessment seems unduly harsh. Should be good on a boat as well although I have no experience with Bose on a boat.
I understand your point regarding both. However, at my age (57) the only CDs we buy are either Greatest Hits or soundracks. I travel by air for work about 40 weeks a year and if I didn't have my ipod and noise cancelling earbuds, I would probably get arrested by the air cops. I spent a considerable amount of time getting all the songs I like on the 'pod. I didn't mean to imply that my way was the best. I am only saying what works best for me.
