Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an excellent, easy to use and simple to install option for anyone who wants XM in their car or home. Some points to consider:
- Read the directions. The menus are confusing if you don't know where to go, but once you do it's all very straight-forward. 5 minutes with the manual will save you hours of frustration.
- I installed my antenna on the driver's side corner of the dashboard and get a 100% signal. No need to run the wire outside the car and pull a bunch of trim off in order to hide it.
- I don't have a tape deck and didn't want to hard-wire the unit, so I was excited about the built-in FM transmitter. I live in Denver proper and get very good sound quality using the transmitter. This may not be the case for everyone (even I get some interference in some places), but it beats the extra wires of a tape adapter or extra cost of a full-blown installation.
- The buttons are a little small, but easy enough for me to use, and I have some big fingers. The layout of the controls is nice, especially the channel and group up/down buttons. The remote is a plus and not found on some other models. It's a little big for storing in the car but you appreciate it when you're using it (the SkyFi remote, by comparison, is so small as to be uncomfortable).
- The screen is very easy to read, has a pleasing blue color and displays much more info that the Roady or SkyFi units from Delphi. One downside, you don't have the option of other colors.
I have installed and used a SkyFi and a new SkyFi 2 in my fiancee's car and prefer this radio quite a bit compared to hers. At the current price, it's hard to find a better radio. Audiovox has a full range of accessories to go with the receiver as well. Highly recommended.
