I had a buddy tell me he figured Pandora (online music streaming) was about 40mb per hour. I'd guess that Sirius is about the same.

We have the full Sirius XM setup; portable speaker system, home system, auto system. In the motorhome, I placed the antenna 'puck' in the motorhome's center ceiling vent. This way, I'm never in a location where I can't receive the signal (unless I'm going through a tunnel, or parked along a tall building!).
I cranked the vent open, went atop the roof, and fed the antenna's connection end in and through the small hole the crank is centered in. The antenna is magnetic, and I simply attached it to the steel support brace that runs down the middle of the vent. I fed the wire across the ceiling, and using Command Strip products, routed the wire over to the cabinet wall and down to the Sirius receiver.
We have one receiver, and simply take it with us, along with the remote, between house and motorhome. The Aux cable is routed in a similar manner, and is out of sight except where it feeds into the aux port -- about 6" of cable shows, so no big deal.
In over 7,500 miles of mixed roads, the magnetic puck end has never moved, and we never have to worry about reception. We have Fantastic fans on each end of the motorhome, and never use the center vent, so for us it's a perfect location.

Just got back from Dallas to Elkhart for warranty work run and Bluetoothed Sirius through my Bose all the way up and back as well as at campground outside. No blackouts or problems under bridges or anywhere that way as you don't need to worry about wires or antenna

They make BT adapters that plug into the aux input:

Beware that you will use alot of data - increase in cellphone bill. We just called and added it to our account for $5 a month.

I can't imagine him not being able to hear you even with the music turned up.

I have it in my truck really like it. Got it on special deal $26. I think for 5 months. Tried to use the app on my phone so I could Bluetooth to the trailer but they want some ridiculous amount of $ for it to work on my my phone as an add on. ??
