Looking to buy a new XM Radio......?

Question

I'm looking into buying a new radio either the XpressR and XpressRC. I previously owned a Pioneer AirWare. Which is better R or RC???? And do they have a built in FM modulator like the AirWare??? For the home unit does the radio need to be directly hooked up into radio???

Thanks.

Answer 1

You might want to go to: www.etoncorp.com and to www.radiosforyou.com and ask their tech people. These are excellent sites and are very helpful.

The RC is better.  I know it has an awesome color screen.  I'm not sure if it has any additional features over the R.

They have the weak (I believe just in the car dock), virtually unusable FM-Modulator, thanks to the FCC.  In the car, you would have to use some type of direct connection or FM Direct Adapter.  At home, you would have to directly connect to your speakers/stereo.
