He absolutely loves it and I'm 110% jealous. Yeah, so much for that last commandment. My boyfriend installed the exact same player in his car last month. He absolutely loves it and I’m 110% jealous.

I got the X001 last year and LOVE it. So naturally when I saw the X100 I wanted it, I just haven't ponied up the cash yet. I picked XM over Sirius as I already had a family plan with them but a great stereo overall! Congrats! I’m so jealous!!! I got the X001 last year and LOVE it.

Usually there is a way to hook up a CD changer with most factory stereos and my two cars had this possibility. The interface hooks in the trunk where the CD changer would be and then you run a wire for an input that looks like a headphone wire. You put the Input selection to CD track 1 and voila it works grand! About 85 bucks with Crutchfield's impeccable directions so even *I* could put it in!

A simple AUX to AUX cable ($10) gives me great audio out of the headphone jack of whatever MP3 player I want (typically my iPod Classic 160GB). It doesn't get in the way of the separate charger and it rolls up and fits in the glove box when I don't need it. My 2007 Subaru came with an AUX input.

Everyone knows Heather exaggerates to infinity (and beyond!). Enjoy the new system, but keep it down when Leta is in the car --- you don't want her blaming any future hearing problems on you guys <i>in her own blog</i> some day! ;o) Don’t sweat it.

Entered too soon! My husband keeps saying he doesn't want to pay for satellite radio (even though he's happy to pay a ridiculous amount for cable and TiVo) but I suspect it would be cheaper than the ER visit from me breaking his wrist the next time he won't stop switching the @#$%^ channels looking for something that's not a commercial. Did your box come with a subscription or do have to pay a monthly fee? Doh! Entered too soon!

Sound quality is great, ipod is powered and best of all, you use the ipod just like you would with earbuds. The interface has made the ipod what it is and all of these decks I see don't do it justice. The iPod Touch is way easy to control in the car and sounds great. Ipod Adapters are made by LogJam, I think. On my last two Accord’s, I’ve bought a cd-changer adapter that allows the ipod to be plugged straight into the back of the deck.
