I drive for a living, and my vehicle did not have a SiriusXM receiver. I found this unit on a Deal of the Day sale for only $15. Installation is fairly simple and fast. For best reception, the wired antenna unit must be installed on the roof of your vehicle and run in thru the door to plug into the unit. However, I have found that it usually works pretty well to just lay the antenna on my dashboard. No service is included, but inexpensive intro offer for the first six months is offered on the Sirius XM web site.

I got a Sirius XM Satellite radio. It was on sale for $19.99. Well worth the price. I love it!!! I was tired of listening to all the garbage on the radio and I had rented a car over the summer that had Sirius XM radio. It was great. Didn't have to keep searching for something to listen to. Well worth it for me. I paid for a whole year in advance.

Bought this a few months ago when it was on sale and it's amazing. For the price, you cannot beat it. Audio quality is great, install was a piece of cake, and it's semi-portable. Can't recommend this one enough.

The installation was quite simple. The sound qaulity is good but the only issue is the antenna. The antenna does not secure well into the port and reception is lost anytime the wire is moved.

I purchased this product on sale to try out in my car. I wanted to be able to move from car to car. This unit works perfect for this. I am able to simply lay the antenna on the dash and plug in the rest of the wires and go. This product works so well that we bought the home speaker set to use it indoors.

I love this radio. It is very easy to use in any vehicle. The best part is there is no wires to connect. It doesn't matter how new or old your car as long as you have a working stereo, the plug n play is perfect. I drive a truck all day and take it from my personal car and put it right into my work truck! and BOBBA BOUY TO YOU ALL!

I bought the Stratus 7 to replace a (very) old Audiovox receiver. It works great as a basic satellite radio for your car. Don't buy this if you're looking for all the "bells and whistles". There are more expensive receivers with those. You can also buy a separate SIRIUS home dock, but using the internet app is easier for home. The receiver is small and light weight. but still easy to read. I bought a second dock for my other car so I can use the stratus 7 in either, by just moving the receiver. Also, it works with my old SIRIUS antennas which were already in place. If you buy this, I would also recommend buying a remote. the car kit doesn't come with one. I ordered a reconditioned remote from the SiriusXM site for $7. If you do buy a home kit too, I think it comes with a remote.

Siriusxm radio is an excellent choice for those who are tired of the same old songs on the radio. You can listen to all types of music, comedy, news...whatever you like you will find it here, and no commercials. I choose not to install my radio so i can unplug it when necessary.

If your looking for something to give you music options but without all the fancy stuff this is perfect. I didn't want to spend a ton to use my xm radio subscription. The item works great, is easy to use and the Best Buy installer was fantastic, answered all my questions and was extremely knowledgeable.

Replaced an old Pioneer airwave radio. I didn't want the expense or hassle of a new radio system in my vehicle. The straus compact size is what sold me.
My complaint is with Sirius wanting more money to add back the Opie & Jim Norton show, when I already had it with my old XM contract.

Great radio for the price, small and compact. The only problem is the mounting clips for the a/c vent don’t work for all cars. That’s only a minor problem so you might have to get creative where and how you mount it.
