I have always used Sirius WM5 & it works perfectly, so I have never even tried anything else. I see no reason why it wouldn't work in my truck, I just haven't tried it as my truck has Sirius built in.

I use a Proclip in my truck & I wired it directly to the truck electrical system (it is live when I turn the key on), but that's really no different than using a cigarette lighter adapter. It must be getting at least a partial charge while running Sling Mobile. My Son & I took a trip last weekend that was almost 5 hours each way & watched NFL football the whole way there & back. There is NO WAY the TP can run Sling for 10 hours off the phone battery, so it must be benefiting somewhat anyway by being plugged in.
