I can only echo what everyone else said about the quality of the XM radio. I wasn't really sure at first, but it didn't take more than a couple of days with the preview and I was hooked. At least with the factory installed option it is "near" CD quality sound (I think a little freq response is lost with the FM modulated version...i.e., aftermarket hook in through FM antenna).
As for reception, it has been excellent. I do a lot of rummaging around out in the boonies hunting, fishing, and ATVing here in CO, and I really have to be in the bottom of an exceptionally deep, dark canyon with the truck oriented such that the antenna is directly next to a VERY steep southern canyon wall before it will cut out (and then only occassionally for a second or two). I had wondered about this initially, but thus far have been absolutely impressed.
