    I had bought this a few weeks back, and absolutely love it! My bf and I travel a lot and it helps when you don't want to listen to the sane old same old. The deep tracks station is the best!!!

    Picked a couple up for the price which was too good to pass. Opened up the package and you have everything you need too easily hook up. Small unit about the size of your hand palm. Suction cups for placement and clips provided also. I like that your able to plug this unit into both the back of your stereo (wireless look) and the AUX in the front for on the go fast hook up. Hope the review helped. My wife hooked hers up (wireless look) to her stereo in 10 minutes from box to stereo.

    I love this product. I've had the opportunity to listen to it so when I found out they make a portable one I bought it. It was easy to install and operate. The sound is awesome. You're able to remove it from being visible, which is good when you're parked in public areas.

    No flashing lights & scrolling music notes but simple easy to read large backlit display that puts all of the Sirius XM stations right where you want them. At your finger tips. Great quick access buttons. Memory is good. Names station & what is playing. Easy to transport to a home dock. Overall a good deal.

    After I got an open box item that did not work...I got a brand new item that actually worked. Setup was easy and activation was quick. For the price this is a great unit. This replaced a unit a had previously but stopped working due to an antenna issue.

    I never really believed in paying for radio. I always thought that paying for radio was some sort of sin or something until a recent road trip that I took. The car we used had Sirius XM and I actually loved the content. Decided that when I got back home that I wanted to try it out for myself in my own car but didn’t want to invest a lot of money into a device. This device was a “deal of the day” on Best Buy’s website so I couldn’t pass it up. Installation was super easy. Fortunately I already had a FM transmitter in my car so I didn’t have to buy anything else. I called in to activate service. Took less than 30 minutes from install to using service. I would recommend this to anyone. Will probably be looking into upgrading the device in about a year though. If you don’t have an AUX cord in your car radio you will need purchase a 3rd party FM transmitter for this to work in your car.

    This is a great addition to my listening pleasure. The only slight problem I had was the antenna wire was a little loose and I kept loosing signal. I adjusted the prongs a lil bit and i havnt had a problem since.

    Siriusly a great value for commercial-free radio. Reception is very good and listening thru the car's 6 speaker setup is fantastic. Setup was uncomplicated and thorough.

    I do a lot of driving for work so I purchased this satellite unit to help with the boring drives. I installed it in my work truck in about 15 minutes and set up was easy.

    Had gotten same unit from Sirius as part of a deal when I turned in my prior car, the replacement had no Sirius, so this was their deal to keep me. I then decided I would like to have the flexibility to move this to my wife's car; moving all the attachment and wiring would be a pain, so there is a unit that contains the attachment and wiring (Powerconnect Kit). However, Best Buy was actually selling the entire unit for about $10 more, so decided to do that - the extra radio sits in storage "just in case" but now both cars have the installed mobile attachments and they work pretty well. Both cars actually have the Sirius "shark fin" antenna, so I decided not do the instructed deployment for the included antenna and just mounted it in the front windshield magnetically attached to a speaker grill. That works about 90% of the time. If this gets annoying, I may opt to have the Shark Fin wiring pulled to this Sirius Unit.

    I absolutely love and recommend this receiver. My only complaint really, and the reason I took off one star, the inability to program more than 10 stations. It would be nice to have 20. Also, a remote control would have been nice to have. I love that it has an aux cable and fm transmitter built i. I work on an ambulance and love how easy it is for me to pull it out my truck and put it in the unit. I ddidn't run the antenna anywhere, I just set it on the dash and it works great.

    My husband bought this because he just got a job driving trucks and wanted to listen to music without constantly having to change radio stations. He is not assigned to any particular truck, so he can't install it permanently. He just puts the antenna on the dash and it works fine. He plugs it into the aux and listens through the radio. You do need a Sirius subscription to listen to music.

    I bought this because my got a new vehicle and she couldn't go without Sirius XM after having it for so many years previously installed in her former vehicle. This was perfect for her vehicle because it is small and and it wouldn't offset the decor. She loves it, and so do I.

    This radio is small in size but big on delivery. It fits anywhere and the display is easy to read. The audio sound is great and the small size makes it easier to install than the larger XM radios. The special price from Best Buy on daily deals also makes it very affordable.
