it's beyond my knowledge. I can wire up hometheaters, install car audio, and some model railraod stuff, LOL. But get to components like that, and it's all shaky.

Sirius didn't give you any quotes for out of warranty work? You may want to look into that. From there, you may want to see how much a new one would cost or a used one(craiglist, ebay, amazon, etc). Heck, I'm using the Sporster 1. Like the unit a lot, but the memo of songs thing is cool, but I hate how you can't delete individiual songs. You can only clear all songs!!!
