Summary: Pleased with purchase
Comment: I was very happy with my purchase of a Altec Lansing speaker dock for my XM radio. The shipment came quickly, and I am pleased with the item.

Summary: Very happy with SkyFi3
Comment: This is our first satellite radio, and are thrilled with it. Helps immensely on long trips out of state, and while commuting to job (30 minutes). $30 Amazon price is $100+ lower than local store price. Many station choices - we like many of the music stations, the comedy channels, baseball games, and sports talk. Love no commercials on music stations. Paid over $200 for professional installation in our van (newer vehicle) - looks great, sounds great. Bought another car kit ($17) from Amazon and installed it myself. Sounds great, looks OK, but I mounted it low on console so visible wires are minimal. Higher mount location would mean more wire showing. Was easy to install myself, and SureConnect connection to car radio antenna was easy and sounds great. Don't have Aux input to use, nor a cassette player. For $30 for radio and car kit, it's a steal. Found a code on the internet for a XM subscription discount, and used it to get a $77 annual subscription from XM, versus $12.95 per month. Only regret is paying so much for professional installation in van.

Summary: Great Unit, If yours isn't, Do This...
Comment: Ok, I feel for people with a bad unit. Mine was working for two hours then locked up. I had another one arrive a few days later from another seller, it worked great! Difference was: THE FIRMWARE! I reset the first locked up unit by pressing the Volume+ button on the side while pushing the Mode (on/off) button on the front. The firmware version is shown at the bottom of the screen at startup, my first unit was version 1.03! Version 1.19 is the latest! (16 revisions of the firmware have obviously solved numerous problems) So I went to XM's firmware update page (http://fwupdt.xmradio.com/), hooked up the supplied USB cable from my computer to my SkyFi unit, clicked on the "XM Firmware Client (R2.26} (in red) at the bottom of that page and followed the simple instructions and let it do its update magic. Presto...my first unit works great now, no lockups, just smooth operations in all features. It's a great unit, just some of these have been sitting around on a shelf somewhere for a while (from the original $199.00 price days) and just need this simple fix to straighten them out. Best XM radio value out there!

Summary: Sounds Great
Comment: I installed this unit a few days ago and am very happy with it. I didn't bother doing the firmware update and have had no lockups. I attached the fm modulator coupler to my external antenna and the sound is crystal clear. I can't imagine getting a better product, especially at this low cost.

Summary: Delphi SA10224 SKYFi 3 Portable XM Radio Receiver with Vehicle Kit
Comment: I am really impressed with the Skyfi3 XM Satellite Radio. It is lightweight, the right size to fit in you shirt pocket or pants pocket and has the right functionality to serve its purpose. The sound quality is good with enough volume to overcome most external sounds, in particularly for me, a lawn mower. Its mobility allows it to be used in your home, car and outside walking or jogging. You have to purchase the accessories for the home and outside functionality. I also purchased the home kit since the SKyFi3 comes with a car kit. I purchased the wireless router in order to transmit the signal from the south side of my house to a location inside my house. It is absolutely necessary to have clear view of the southern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. It has worked wonderfully after setting up the antennae outside in a covered plastic container. The antenna is supposed to be weatherproof but I am not taking any chances. It took me about 2 hours to read the directions for each device and get everything working. Even the car installation was very easy and worked once all the parts were connected. I have had one glitch with the device. I tried to turn it on one day after not using it for a week and it wouldn't come on. After much anxiety I read the manual and it explained how to reset the device. I like most it ability to set up recording schedules for your XM stations. These can then be sorted by various means to access the recordings. The device has many functions and for the $26.99 including S&H for the car kit it was well worth it. I highly recommend this device and its accessories.
