@sfar - I understood that you were referring to streaming over a cellular connection. That is why I suggested downloading the content to the phone, instead of streaming from the cellular connection. You can download hours of cached content from Radio Paradise onto your mobile device and stream it via bluetooth or AUX connection to your car system. Same with Spotify and likely all of the other streaming services.
Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great
I’ve a new to me 2019 Volvo XC60 with Harmon Kardon stereo system and XM Sirius. Sounds a bit lifeless and not sure of either system quality or signal quality of Sirius. My older Volvo I fitted with Focal flax drivers and ran an iPod. Much better overall.
Should I explore a different service and/or replace drivers? Not looking for aural Nirvana here, just much better than MP3 sounding dreck. Thanks

@sfar - monthly limits may be an issue for some. However, you can just download content from Spotify and Radio Paradise if that's an issue for you. I often download a few hours worth of Radio Paradise before airline travel so I can listen off-line. |
I stream Spotify and Radio Paradise from my phone via Bluetooth in all 3 of our vehicles. None of the vehicles have top of the line factory sound systems, but they all sound fine to me. I sometimes use CarPlay in our 2019 Alfa and it sounds good and it's nice having the Spotify or Radio Paradise display on the in dash infotainment screen. |
