One of the big misconceptions about satellite radio is that the only cost is the monthly subscriptions.  Although satellite radio is an excellent service it is also important to figure in the cost of the satellite radio receiver as well as the installation cost. For many people this can add hundreds of dollars to the total price.

After market satellite radio receivers are usually very easy to install and many electronic shops can install the device you choose for less than $100.  Some types of after market satellite radio receivers don’t require installation at all and include a FM modulator that sends the satellite radio signals from the satellite radio receiver to the stock radio in your car.  All you need is the FM modulator to be in close proximity to your car stereo.  There is no car installation necessary.  This is the perfect solution if you drive more than one car and switch cars often.

After market satellite radio receivers vary in price, but most sell from about $100 to $300 depending on the models and features.  If you are looking to add satellite radio to your car, look at the above tips.
