Any word on the significant loss of quality vs the phone? Kind of surprising. I wonder if it's reception related perhaps or just the quality of the signal vs mp3 is lacking.
I don't think there is any loss of signal quality on the radio or xm, its just what it is, you can turn it up to a certain level and it sound good but after a certain point it starts to sound distorted, but my mp3's on the phone sound incredible the louder you crank it the better it sounds, my buddy was riding next to me said puck it, turned off his radio and listened to mine on our ride sunday
My car is the same way the radio and xm just start to sound garbled and grainy if you turn it up too loud but the mp3's just punch through with a lot more clarity and dynamic range
