I little late to this but I can't live without my SIRIUS radio anymore.
It is invaluable for a long trip. I listen to Howard Stern, great music
and football. There are a couple hundred channels so there is always
something to keep you going.
Bag everything else and get yourself a Sirius set up that is portable.
It will work in any car or at home. Well worth the money.
