New old truck

Finally moved up the work truck food chain, from a '00 Silverado half ton to an '03 2500 Duramax 6.6L:

 

So far I'm liking it, but the factory in-dash 6 disc changer is shot and I'm looking at $120 or so in adapters just to shove a single-DIN CD player in there (and about another $300 for a half-decent double-DIN touchscreen), it does have XM though, I'd hafta shell out for a subscription, is it worth it? Right now I'm commuting an hour and a quarter to/from work each way, about 75 miles, through BFE and I have a feeling the meager selection of FM stations are gonna get old real fucking quick...

Hmm, XM prices is probably going to be around $150 for a year, with every station (just going on rough cost). Depends though, if there aren't many stations that you like on XM, then it might not be worth it to you. I have Sirius in my truck, just put it in back in the beginning of fall. I still listen to local stations every now and then, but for long trips or out of range I really enjoy it.

Thanks man I think I'll ante up for it, XM is having a free preview right now (11/18 to 12/1) so inactive receivers are getting a selection of channels for free, something like 60 out of the 120 they have. Sounds good though, I think it'll be worth it.
