It worked - OK reproduction with a bit of a POP at one point. Typical home systems strain to reproduce that (if they can at all) so it wasn't bad.

So far the premium audio has been pretty good. Is it worth the extra bucks? Meh . . . I think, if you can, spend some time listening to both, using recordings you are really familiar with, before ordering.

The option that I snuck in thinking it was a throw-away was HD radio. I'm really glad I got that now.

So you are glad you got the HD Radio option? How does it sound? Does it really make FM better? When I had XM in my Acura it sounded very flat compared to FM and CD's.
