satellite radio for my car (or what I'd need for podcasts)? I'm starting a new job on Monday (Yea!!!!) that I'm very excited about. Having said that, it's going to be quite a commute (from Redondo Beach to The Valley). I LOVE good radio, podcasts, etc. so I'm totally okay with the drive. I just need to know what I need to do/get. My car is a 2007 Honda Accord. I know I could google it but I thought someone here might know the first step I could take without me having to reinvent the wheel....Thank you

Congrats on the job.

(8,100 posts)It would definitely be worth it to me. I'll check out Best Buy. That's a first step. Thank you!

(11,126 posts)The receiver rebroadcasts to FM. I have several FM stations programmed in the receiver so I can change stations if I drive into an area where I get interference from a station.
It ain't elegant but it works. Someday, I'll buy a new truck which must have satellite radio built in.

(8,100 posts)That looks like a good option. Someone else suggested that as well. Thanks again!

(11,126 posts)I rigged a mount for the receiver below the radio. Scrap metal and electrical tape. Again, it ain't elegant but it's an old truck.
