I pretty much quit listening to my iPod when I installed Sirius. And I have 30GB of music on my iPod.

Ice lik or sirius
Having both Sirius and the icelink in my car I would say that they are both nice to have .. But If I could only have one I would get the icelink reason being you can listen to whatever you want at anytime you feel like it.., while Sirius offers sports comedy news, I think you will get more bang for your buck with the icelink..

Good anwser! You can always opt for XM or Sirius now and have room for the ice>Link later (or other way around). We offer both the XM/Sirius setups, and of course............the ice>Link Plus.

Sure - but you will not have ID3 text or steering wheel control. AUX is only an audio-in feed. You are much better off getting the XM Direct kit.
