Best external radio yet!

I have had many different Sirius/XM external radios and this is by far the best one yet!
First the head unit is a little longer, the button array is well thought out. The 3.4 in HD black and white display is very clean looking. The installation was very easy. Most people could do it yourself, if you are a little DIY enabled. The vehicle kit comes with everything you need for fast and complete installation.
After your up and running I would advise you to tinker around with the many different settings. Volume out is important to turn all the way up so your amp gives you that Crystal clear sound. It has a really good antenna, I placed on my roof and get all bars in most areas, even in my garage. You can make the display white with black lettering or black with white lettering. I prefer the black. I'm glad I was able to see the units on display at my Best Buy store, I wanted the next model up with color display, but after seeing the small screen and it wasn't as clear as this bigger display, so I chose this one. Eventually I will get a newer Pioneer touch screen unit with Sirius/XM hookup and buy the Sirius/XM adaptor to get a full array capability. If you want the Crystal clear go anywhere sound of Satellite radio, then this unit is a no brainer.
I highly recommend it!

This radio is excellent. It worked extremely well picks up the signal. Well it’s easy to use and set up and I love the 10 channel presets would you allow me to move quickly to my favorite stations!

I was under the impression you can use this radio on your home wifi network to stream your subscribed Sirius channels. I was wrong. you have to use the antenna and get a satellite signal. That misconception may be my fault, so I'm not holding that against Sirius. What I find annoying, is that you have to pay for a new subscription for THIS radio even if you already have a subscription for your car radio. So, every Sirius device has to have its own subscription. Out of the question for me. It went back.

I'm very happy with this product. We have wanted satellite radio for some time now and we have found this product to perform as described. The vent mount is very sturdy which surprised me because I figured the mount would be cheesy and cheap. It would be cool if it came with a better way to hide the wires though. There are 3 long wires that you have to figure out how to hide.
The antenna seems to work great, we only lose signal when going into canyons or other areas that you would expect to lose satellite signal.
The screen is very easy to read and the overall operation is very easy to figure out and understand.

I am very happy with the product. Setup could not be simpler, and instructions were very clear. Remote control works great, too. Sound quality on my home stereo is superb.

Love this powerful little radio! Have always enjoyed great reception of all those extra channels in our SUV, but now can listen to my favorites anytime at home during quarantine or just sitting down for my wife's cooking. True winner!
