    I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a 599 as a semi daily.

    Is there any way to do Sirius without a head unit change?

    Thanks.

    Does the 599 not have XM built in? The 612 does.

    I think the channels are more or less the same, now that they've merged.

    Hmmm...I'll check on that, it would be great. I test drove it today and didn't even open the cover to the radio.

    Yup. Just looked at it again this morning. Am, fm and cd only. I believe the cd player plays mp3's.

    Does it even have an aux input?

    No.

    I love the colors on this one, but after some research, I believe these options are critical:

    1. Full power seats
    2. Carbon drivers zone
    3. Shields (call me shallow)

    This car has none of 'em.

    Hello to the poster about satellite radio,

    When I do not have use of a aux input I have used and fm modulator that broadcasts the signal from the satellite radio to a clear frequency (different in all areas) on the FM spectrum. You would use the small satellite display to change stations. There is not a way to have the info display on your radio to the best of my understandings.

    Good luck since as you know satellite radio is tops.

    All that is truly critical is in the car without any options. All the rest are choices...
