			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.audioholicblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/main3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-215" title="main3" src="http://www.audioholicblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/main3.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="271" /></a>Most avid car audio enthusiasts will happily tell you that they have the best-of-best for their mobile audio system. And there is no question in our mind that they are indeed correct, as in our experiences, this tends to be the norm for those who are avidly pursuing bass and audio perfection in their rides. However, technology doth bring us that which is newer and better all of the time. Similar to the personal computer dilemma that faces all consumers, that dilemma being: you buy a brand new PC with the latest and greatest features only to realize about four weeks later that your formerly state-of-the-art system is now backlogged as obsolete in light of making way for next advent. And the same line of thought is also found to be quite often true with car audio; this time the surge being a new trend of amazing <a href="http://www.xmfan.com/information.php" target="_blank">XM-ready and XM-enabled, XM car receivers</a>. So we thought it would be truly worthwhile to bring you two XM car receivers, in two different price brackets, so you can surely see there is something lofty out there for all consumers seeking satellite radio in their car, regardless of their budget limitations.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.audioholicblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/audiovox-xpressr-xm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-216" title="audiovox-xpressr-xm" src="http://www.audioholicblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/audiovox-xpressr-xm.gif" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>For those on a tight budget:</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.powerxm.com/xpressr.html" target="_blank">Audiovox XpressR XM Radio Receiver and Car Kit</a><br />

Well priced online for about <a href="http://www.powerxm.com/xpressr.html" target="_blank">$89.99</a>. The only drawback that we found is that the screen, although self adjusting and backlit, is black &amp; white.</p>
