Russ, I am with you 100% on XM 6. About 40 years ago I liked the loud, fast
talking DJs, not today I find them annoying. XM 6 is still in the AM days,
not FM!

As far as the AM reception, if you have an embedded radio antenna in the
windows and if you tint those windows with metallic film, you will lose your
AM reception. That happened to me in my BMW. After I had the film removed
and replaced with non-metallic film that restored the AM reception. The
non-metallic is supposedly not as durable, but after 3 years I have seen no
degradation.

If none of that applies to you, never mind.
