    Everything is great but the antenna connection goes out once in awhile. The power cord that plugs into the dock station in my truck has broke off the plug and had to be replaced.

    After using my satellite radio much more than I expected in my Silverado, I got this for the portability so I can use in both my base model Jetta and my boat. Great deal. Just wish the service was cheaper.

    After getting tired of listening to the same old re-played music on local radio, I decided to go back to SiriusXM. Love the choices. Just wish it had a little remote to change channels.

    I purchased this radio to replace an older style radio. I like the price, but the lack of pause/replay function caused me to keep this radio in the car. Still works well.

    We got this at a great price and enjoy listening to commercial free radio. However, as others have mentioned, we noticed the unit and base do not make always make a good contact and that the antenna cable plug can disconnect with vehicle vibration.

    Its paid for Radio, with commercials from Sirius XM. Guess my understanding of commercial free musics would be without commercials, including Sirius. Oh well keeping it for now.

    Got this for my daughter in college for holidays... Finally a sat radio that wouldn't break the bank... Sound excellent and the price was great... Best but did the install on her car and broke the dash.. Tech gave us a discount and ordered a replacement piece which is being delivered to a Best Buy near her school for install. Prices are not as armed on installs and even though the radio comes with a car kit the tech was trying to sell her a car kit... She loves the radio but if I had to do it again I would have gone to a different person for the install

    Purchased this for my commuting vehicle. It's a mature car but it helps with beating the boredom of traffic up and down the 405! would highly recommend and it was at a great price on a BBY Deal of the Day!

    I got the Sirius Radio as a Christmas gift for my son. He has a long daily commute and was looking for something that he could listen to continuously. He absolutely loves the variety of stations and the quality of sound.

    I have about 4 other Sirius Stratus receivers and they all work great. This one (since it was a Buy of the Day) was sold for a VERY LOW Price. I have already activated it and it works like a charm.

    Basic radio but all they offer for Sirus only. Other radios are either XM or XM/Sirus and didn't work with our existing contract. Radio is good, we didn't really need anything more.

    This portable Sirius radio was on sale for $19.99; a very reasonable price for this radio. I'm very pleased with how the radio works and with the quick install into my vehicle. There was no added expense in installing the radio which made this purchase even better.

    This is my first experience with satellite radio and this is a perfect fit for me. I installed myself and after a quick call to siriusxm I was up and running. I listen to more than I even thought I would!

    Having to replace a satellite radio is a pain. You don't want to do it often, as the carrier often requires a fee to register a replacement on the account. This is a simple, rugged radio module with good features and very few hassles. Great value for the money.

    My only complaint is that the auxiliary line in cord gets rattled loose from the dock. I used the vent install option. I have to push the connector back into the outlet with some frequency. Also, I would recommend professional installation of the antenna if you are not handy with cars. The reception was fine on a trip across several states that I made recently. It has also been excellent in my home town.

    These entry level SatRads essentially get the job done. Receive the broadcast with some improved signal locking. What is lacking from earlier feature-filled radios is: a larger screen, therefore no clock function, and as petty as it sounds.....no remote control (especially if mounting in a crowded dash config., whereby a remote would make easy point n' shoot. SXM still has to improve the satellite antenna connector design for a snugger fit. Works for the money, not a lot more than that.

    I like being able to move the unit from vehicle to vehicle and a home docking station and only pay for one subscription. It works great for my application. I'm perfectly satisfied!
