Many appreciate the compact size, attractive display, and the inclusion of useful features.

    I was changing cars and bought this package to install in my new car. This package including the installation kit was just what I needed and at a good price and convenient in-store delivery.

    I am very pleased with this radio. I get all the oldie stations very clear. My house and car radio can't, get the stations clear. It is great to listen to the radio again while driving.

    Perfect for a road trip but small buttons

    I was moving 3000 miles and my vehicle didn't have a radio equipped with satellite radio. This model was more expensive but it was the extra dollars. I didn't want to rely on AM/FM & I prefer talk radio. This was perfect. It can be connected either through an AUX jack, FM radio, or through a tape deck. I used the tape deck method and the audio was great. As for the player, it has many neat features like rewind / catch-up with your favorite stations. Also, the screen is very clear and the menus are well-organized. The only downside is the buttons are tiny but I got use to it. Overall, I am happy that I spent the extra money to get the top model as of June 2015.

    Have XM in both my cars now and this model is great because you can pause, rewind, and fast forward up to 30 minutes of programming. Plus you hear songs from the start when you change the channel.

    Great little receiver that I use both, in the truck, and in my home office. Missed having the Sirius radio in the vehicle so opted to buy this portable unit so that I could also use it in the home and in the camper once we are on site, Gets everything that a factory unit gets, no interference, and great portability at a reasonable cost.

    The reception is OK. Relatively easy to set up in the vehicle. I have had to change the station it tunes into several times because it quit working on the station I set it up for.

    After driving new cars at by job and listening to Sirius/XM factory installed, I bought this unit to enjoy the same sounds in my 1997 Ford Explorer. I'm really enjoying it.

    Good Value SD Card, needed a large number for work. Best Buy price matched a competitor. Easy to use and install. Only downfall there is not a case included with the SD card.

    In general I like the screen layout and graphics, however some of the information is hard to read. I have the unit set up at arms length yet things like the channel logos are hard to make out. I also feel that with all the channels to chose from there should be at least one more bank of presets available. I think all the setup options are great and really give you the opportunity to customize your receiver in many different ways. I also like the sports score crawler option at the bottom of the screen, which you can also customize to your favorite sports and/or teams.

    This radio is significantly better than the previous model we owned. The reception is clear, and there are helpful features such as numerous buttons to preset favorite stations (10 or 20) as well as the ability to rewind a favorite song. Even when we have FM radio playing, the song names scroll across the Sirius radio so we can switch over if we see a song we want to listen to instead.

    I got this as a replacement for an old receiver that had a few pixels start to go on the screen. This would have been great except it doesn't have a remote control available for it. When I first got my last receiver, it had a remote, and I wondered why someone would need a remote for a radio that was three feet away. When you are driving, changing the channel without having to lean across the car is a huge safety and convenience thing. I won't get another one without remote control capabilities. So while this is a good receiver when just looking at receivers, it loses a lot of points for not having a remote (I returned it because of this).
