Sports Ticker? Blah...

Customizable UI? Yep, thinking about how to do one for the car.

Just to be clear, you don't need an alpine HU, correct? Basically swap this in and hook it up and you've got a serial controlled sirius radio?

I very well might in a couple weeks. Currently debating if I should redo my starmate, which looked great molded into the dash, but I decided it could be a little bit better (should have left it alone)

How's the interface? I mean from a software perspecitve. I'm assuming I can get the song titles etc. I'd probably be going with DIY as far as software.

Hey Mitch,

Quick question for you if you don't mind - I don't know whether you remember, but I bought one of your original USB Sirius interfaces. Having a bit of a problem - when the sirius unit is hooked up, I get an alternator whine through the speakers - but only when the sirius unit is plugged in. Additionally, if I disconnect the ground for the sirius, it will contiune to ground itself through the shield of the audio or usb. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Dan

Use the optical output or install a ground loop isolator.

Inserting a USB hub might also help.
