Did the Q45 come with the Sirius receiver built-in, or did you add an aftermarket one to it?

Came with. My #1 son gave me a Panasonic head (for my truck) and I have a matching Sirius plug-in. But with a 10-year-old truck with only ~30,000 miles I can't rationalize the ~$13/month. Anyone want to make an offer ?:-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Spice is like a sports car...

Perhaps you'd like to trade for an HD radio head unit! :-) ---Joel

I'm not sure what model it is. Would the HD radio head work as a home unit?

I'm not sure what model it is. Great, thanks. > Would the HD radio head work as a home unit? KBAQ is classical music. It would need a 12V power supply (I have plenty of those) and a box, but in general, yes. However, I might have a better option -- there's a little-used component-style HD radio that I can probably lay my hands on too. (Sangean HDT-1X -- it has line-level RCA jack outputs as well as a digital optical SPDIF output, so you still need a stereo amplifier to drive your speakers...) ---Joel |
