DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY. The products are poor, the repairs are poorer and the customer service is non existant. They will not refund anything, even if your product dies twice in the first 9 weeks.

It’s impossible to speak to a person if you call customer service. The only human contact is an unresponsive e-mail address and it’s clear this company simply does not ever honor their warranty.

I bought this for my boyfriend. He loves Sirius. It works good, but it has a lot of static if you dont have it actually plugged in – using the fm transmitter. My boyfriend couldnt take the static so he bought an AV cord and now it sounds crystal clear and wonderful!

The product is fine and works ok in my car. For the price it’s a decent deal.

Note that this radio will NOT (apparently) play the Best of XM channels. I wanted Opie & Anthony in my car and when I asked Sirius Customer Service, they said that the model of radio that I have will not support those channels. Bah.

The radio itself is nice and compact, but the multitude of cords that it requires makes it awkward. I mounted it on my dash and the three big cords fall down across my gearshift. I finally stuffed it into an open spot in the console – pulling it back out to change the channel is a pain.

I own another one of these radios that I bought in 2006. It’s great for the home. The old radio bradcasts it’s signal to any radio in the entire house that’s tuned to the selected fm station. The new model has trouble broadcasting to a radio that’s only a foot away! So you need to do a direct connect to jacks on the back of your radio. That means you must buy multiple radios for every room in the house, or pricey signal distribution units. Apparentley, there were complaints that the signnal was too strong and interfered with other radios, so they dropped the signal strength. This seems to now be a problem with all brands of satalite radios.
