Rating:  - * a great radio for the car ... I've had a few satellite radios over the years and this is one of the best. Small size makes it perfect for a car, since you can detach it and easily take it with you. Great reception, great attachments, and a great all around product. Display is not as nice as some of the newer models, with color, album artwork, and more "lines" of information, but this is a portable radio, so you'll trade that stuff off for the small size. In my opinion, it's worth it. XM has deals on these all the time. I believe I got this one for $10, with a XM contract. Shop around and I'm sure you'll find a deal. Rating:  - * Not good over the long run ... The performance was just OK in my car. I used it primarily in my workshop, and it worked well. My problem is it lasted just over a year - then went dead. I think most electronics products should last at least a few years. I'll try another brand next. Rating: - * This thing is awesome! ... This is a great little unit! Never mind the other reviews complaining about "all of the wires!", it's an ACCESSORY UNIT meant to either transmit to a currently installed radio or plug into a tape deck. Of course there's going to be a bunch of wires, DUH! All one needs is about an hour, a little creativity, and some wire tucking skills, and this baby is ready to go (with minimal wires hanging around)! I went the Sure Connect route with the transmitter stuck on my window antenna and I get great FM reception through my dash unit. There are several options available to hook this unit up to your current car set-up. One really cool thing about this is that you can customize the display color to match your car's dash lights (or another preferable color). Hear a cool song that you'd like to buy? Just hit the Memory button to save the info for later! No need to try to write the song down while trying to drive. Another great thing about this unit is that you can pull it from your car cradle and drop it into the Delphi boombox (or other home unit) for use in your home. I bought the boombox at the same time and it's great for a small room or office. Just make sure you have a clear shot of the southern sky for the antenna and you're good to go. I really love this product and if you're an avid XM listener with an older system, I'm sure you will too! Rating: - * worth it ... One of the best XM receivers for under $50. Easy to install and use-cant be beat. I use the 'sure connect' to listen and it sounds very clear...little if any static when going under overpasses etc... great buy. Rating:  - * disappointed ... I have purchased two of these over the past 8 months. The first one worked great for about 6 months. All of a sudden, it decided it no longer wanted to turn on. I had liked it up to that point. I did get it to turn on and never turned it off. Well, that was short lived. I made the decision to purchase another one. As I said, I liked it. But after just one week, the same problem started. So I retutned it and got the Inno. Wow, do I love it! |
