good......

i don't see the price dropping for at least 9mo to a year, being a sirius retailer the demand for the stiletto is massive, it's a sellers market on them right now.

recieved the car kit, came with a nice base which the stiletto slides into, the mount allows for many different angles too.
i'm using the headphone out which feeds into my m900 old school pioneer deck in my nissan truck.
anytime it's plugged in in the car or computer it recieves a charge for the battery....the longest i've run it on battery power is about 6 hours so far.....

i'll put another base in the 911 since this will be the only source, more on that later though.

bell, how does the stiletto pick up a sat signal indoors? i want one, just havent done the research... and if you download music, it bills you? if so, how much?

great self gift...i bought myself jeans

indoors it get's its signal from either a wifi network (many people have wireless internet hubs) or from using a "home" kit which uses a std sirius antenne which works best with a clear shot to the sky.
on the main menu of the tuner (in all digital graphics) is where you select if you want to listen to "internet sirius"(wi-fi) or normal sirius (the satalite signal).

i do not believe you can download individual tracks for a charge, i think when they say.......

" plus go online and purchase your favorite tracks for downloads. "

they mean that you can purchase and download tracks online via itunes or whatever to your computer and then transfer them to your stiletto.
i'm going to give napster a shot for their free 7 day trial and see how it works.....

i just loaded a cd (dirt...alice in chains) using windows media player, seemed to transfer at the same speed as the provided program which came with the unit, but the progress info is more detailed.

another thing i noticed today.....there is an antenne built into the unit itself, i did not realize this before......it was powered up on my workbench when i first got to work and noticed it had a sat signal without the antenne/headphones plugged in.
good stuff
