Black Friday Gift Idea: SiriusXM Stratus 7 Satellite Radio

Nov 28, 2014 05:00 AM EST | Jordan Ecarma

Looking for a Christmas gift that will frequently remind them of you? The SiriusXM Stratus 7 satellite radio is one option--it's convenient, useful and something they'll see almost every day.

Just make sure the gift's recipient is looking to try out satellite radio. SiriusXM purports to be a simple way to get satellite radio in your vehicle, but it does require a monthly subscription fee. Maybe a six-month starter subscription can be part of the present.

What is it?

Working through a separate subscription, SiriusXM can be installed in your vehicle to show track titles; artist and program names; and channel information in an easy-to-ready display. Up to 10 of your favorite channels can be stored to be accessed at one touch; traffic and weather updates for 20 cities are also a bonus.

The SiriusXM basic subscription package has more than 140 channels and gives you commercial-free music. The all-access package provides more than 160 channels and puts SiriusXM on your smartphone and tablet through the app.

Where can I get it?

Amazon is offering the device as a Black Friday deal here through Sunday.

What does it cost?

The special sale of $30 saves you more than 60 percent off Amazon's usual listing price. SiriusXM costs $60 (with a monthly subscription) from the manufacturer and $98 at Wal-Mart.
