Delphi SA10224Skyfi3 Car Kit for XM Satellite Radio

2008-07-19
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.

Cheap, Plasticy and not impressive

This is truly a low end product and can be looked at as an entry level player for XM. I bought this to be used in my patio (connected to outdoor speakers)and I guess that is about it. It is a very basic, cheaply made product with a very low end display.

While the Skyfi3 is a very capable and useful XM receiver, this home kit may have an issue that causes the Skyfi3 to fail. It has occurred twice to me but unfortunately I did not see the possible connection until this second failure and more than 30 days after purchase. Amazon is not the place to purchase this from specifically because of the short warranty period.

So far, this product works very well. I have had no problems with the equipment.

Not Up To Snuff

I had no problems with the order or shipping thru Amazon and for a few days, this unit worked well. But after a week or two I received the "check cradle" message and the unit would no longer charge even though the radio works well in the car charger.

What? Only to one radio!

The product works good, but the fm reciever is very weak and I have to use a cassette reciver to get better reception.
