Remote control only...haven't set up the rest of it
Just got back from a trip and used the remote control in the car...very handy.I'll set up the home kit now that we're back from vacation.

Home Kit
The product was easy to install, worked well when installed and is easy to use. Converting from vehicle to home use couldn't be more simple.

Nice kit, especially the remote!
The home kit has everything you need to use your Roady XT in --- you guessed it -- your home! Now you can pump all of XM's music through your home stereo.

Not great
I would not recommend this unit. The reception is very poor. I am using it in an 06 car, so the electronics are up to date. I would say it picks up distortion free maybe 20 percent of the time. I had a XM Commander in my previous vehicle, it was great. I think I will get another for my current car.

Drops Signal/Poor Customer Service from XM
We had this radio for about 6 months, when it completely quit working.During the 6 months the reception would go in and out, until finally the radio wasn't transmitting anything. To troubleshoot, we tried the Pioneer satellite radio that my husband has, and it works great in my car. So, I know it was not my car radio receiver or antenna that was the problem.Getting XM to help us with this was like pulling teeth!We originally contacted Delphi, and they told us to call XM.We kept getting the run around from XM for over one month, until they finally told us we needed to call Delphi for warranty refund! A big circular mess...Our opinion is to spend the extra money and get the Pioneer radio.

Great Receiver, East to Install
I've had a SkyFi receiver in my home for over two years now, and am addicted to Satellite Radio -- it's all I listen to now.When we leased a Lexus RX 330 that did not have Satellite radio pre-installed, we purchased this receiver and car kit for it.Initially, I was concerned about trying to install the antenna on the roof of the car (the instructions that come with the kit are necessarily vague concerning how to install the antenna on the car roof, because each car is different).I did not know if I could do it myself, or if I would have to pay a professional to install it.Well, I decided to try putting the antenna inside the car, on the dashboard, rather than trying the more complicated roof-top installation, to see if it worked.I placed the antenna on the dash as far forward as possible, and stuck it in place with a little museum wax.I hid the antenna wire easily in the seam between the dash and the side of the car, and then strung the wire below the driver's side floor mat.It works great!Every now and then, the signal drops off when you make a turn or go under a bridge, but it's only momentary and no different than the drop off I got on regular radio.Indeed, it does not seem to happen any more frequently than in my other car, that had XM pre-installed with a roof antenna.The receiver plays through the tape deck in the car, and the reception is strong and crystal clear digital.(One of the other reviewers complains of poor reception when played over the FM radio -- that is only necessary if you don't have a tape deck, and I haven't tried the FM broadcast signal myself.)All in all, we're very pleased by this receiver and car kit, and wouldn't know what we'd do without it. ...

Sirius Satellite Radio:Sportster Replay
I love it.Never thought I'd enjoy Satellite Radio so much.My girlfriend has a factory installed system in her Jeep and would rather take my car with the Sportster receiver.Service was great.Received the packages very fast and in plenty of time for our beach vacation.

Sirius is making radio fun again
I don't ever recall a time in which I was so excited about radio.I'm way too young to have experienced the golden age of radio, but the excitement of satellite radio brings images to mind of a time in which radio was something exciting, something to talk about.This is the new golden age of radio.
Won't last - amazing this day and age
I bought my Sportster in December 2005.Here I am 8 months later to tell you that the display light doesn't stay on and flickers.I'm amazed that any electronic component today would have such a short life.It is hot here in Texas, but I rarely leave the power on when I'm out of the car.And when I do, its during short pop in visits to eat or grab groceries.I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the contrast was getting bad, making it very hard to read the display.Now with regularity, the light goes out which makes it impossible to see the display in the bright sun, or darkness at night.I'm getting a replacement, but do not expect it to last more than the first one.The Sirius service is excellent, and I highly recommend it and the type of pause and record features that are built into this radio.The next generation Sportster is out and looks great and also improves on the one thing I didn't like about this model.On the new one, you can program an artist and get the notification beep for any of their songs, not just the specific titles you save on this model.If this model goes out again, I will likely get into the new model and hope for better reliability.

works great as an ext. cord, useless as a signal booster
I bought this thing because Sirius recomended it to boost reception, which it didnt make nearly any difference.....however, if you need an extension cord, this works great

outdoor extension
The extension works well, but outdoors, it needs to be protected from the elements, or it shorts out!

Serious Sirius with Terk Sir-EXT50 Indoor/Outdoor Extend kit
Finally, the perfect signal.

Dual XDM6820: A Dang Good Deal
I too was looking for an iPod connection for my '99 9-3 Saab that was w/o original radio/cd. I couldn't believe the price on this unit but the reviews convinced me, anyway it was fairly easy to install, took me an hour from start to finish. All I needed were 12 solderless connectors and a wire stripper/crimping tool. I've been using the unit for a week now and will agree with some reviews who say the lights are too bright. Great for daytime, way too much for night. I've considered a couple options, one was dark window tint overlays but I've decided to alter the removable faceplate provided with the unit to fashion a cover. I'll slice the FP cover in half at the hinge giving me two covers, some velcro and I'll have a cover that will work at night, set the unit how i like and place the FP cover over it using the velcro to secure. Should be a breeze to do.
Poor Man's MP3/CD player
After reading reviews on this and other products, I decided to go with the Dual XDM-6820. I got it from Amazon for $79 and free shipping. I've been using it now for about a month and have not been disappointed by anything! (I was already expecting the ridiculously bright lights from the other reviews) This stereo has so far been one of those purchases that keeps surprising me with it's versatility and features. I've found that a quick perusal of the instructions was enough to be able to use almost all the important functions: CD playback, radio station presets, radio scan, eq customization, switching between albums on a single MP3 disc, mute, external audio source plugin jack (i.e. iPod or even a Walkman), etc.
Turn down the lights!
I have to agree with other posters here who praise the sound, but can't stand the bright blue lights.

A MUST for trip w/ small children
We bought this unit from Sam's Club right before a trip to Disney World. (8 hours in the car with a toddler--eek!)However, it was/is perfect!We still use it for trips around town when we're in massive traffic or our son is being really fussy.The case that keeps the dvd player on the back of the seat needs a little work, but we figured out a way to make it work for us.Also, the remote doesn't work well, but we don't really need to use it as a DVD usually lasts long enough between stops.

Disappointment at its best...........................
I bought this item for my son for x-mas.We are lucky if we got to use it 4 times before it stopped working.Products this bad should not be allowed to be sold.

5 movies then done- doesn'twork
I recieved this DVD player as a gift for Christmas from my wife. I used it 5 times- done - screen says no disk with DVD in machine. My wife got the ex-warranty through Amazon.com . NO GOOD UNTIL 1 YEAR AFTER DATE OF DELIVERY> THEY HAVE AUDIOVOX as HAVING A 1 YEAR WARRANTY -- AUDIOVOX HAS A 90 day WARRANTY on this DVD. I ASKED for Help ..... NO response. I was told to wait until DEC. 2006 and then reply.. I suppose I'll recieve the same at that time to--- NORESPONSE -- BOTTOM LINE DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF *%**^%^&&^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

I've had the Roady 2 for about 1.5 years and have been very happy with XM radio performance (I move the unit from car to home to boat) and the performance has been great.My problem with the Delphi Roady 2 is the connections.First the yellow tip in the car DC power connection came off the plug and lodged in the power socket on the radio thus preventing me from using other power connections for home or boat.Delphi advised me to cut the tips off the other power connectors so they would make contact.This worked and put me back in business with all power supplys.Next the line out socket (center connector where the tape cassette adapter and line plugs for other stereo systems plug in) stopped working with all adapters.Dephi tech support informed me that there was internal damage which could not be repaired and since it was out of warranty, I should buy a new one.It seems to me that this unit which initially cost $100 should have lasted more than 18 months.

Need a bit more longevity
I originally purchased the unit during the winter because of a sale, but I didn't install it until the beginning of July for our cross country trip from Oregon to Wash. DC. During the trip, there was quite a bit of interuption from hillsides and tall trees in the Pacific Northwest. I kind of wondered how well the reception would work in the city. Once I got out of the NW, I had no problems picking up a signal unless I was in a long tunnel or deep valley.
Like XM...HATE THE BAD QUALITY OF THE WIRES
I like XM, but I am giving 3 stars because of the cheap wiring. I have had the Roady for about 2 or 3 years now and I am on my 5th set of cables. I handle the unit very gently, but the cables are so flimsy that the wires break nevertheless inside the plastic coating. I am tired of buying new wiring over and over, why can't they make this more durable. Also, I have to use the radio feature the cassette accessory does not work in my car (Toyota Avalon); the unit keeps spitting out the cassette. (The same happened to a friend who drives a Honda Accord) Not a real problem for me since I don't travel much, but it may be a consideration for others, because you would have to find a new station constantly in order to get reception. ...

Great portable XM radio
I spent a couple months looking at portable XM radios in search of one to meet my needs.I eventually chose this device and I've been more than happy with my decision.
