overall its a excellent radio and enjoy listening to it. all my co-workers are impressed and are looking into maybe investing in getting one themselfs. there was no instructions on how to preset yout stations you like, so that is the only draw back that I can see.

While the radio works and I love Sirius, this receiver is very much "bare bones". It has no rewind button and I do not believe you can choose favorite artists and/or songs like I could on my previous receiver. That may be because the Sirius receivers are being phased out for the SiriusXM receivers; I have a lifetime subscription and cannot change without creating a new subscription and I refuse to do that.

This works as described, but you need someone who knows how to install these kinds of things to make it 'feel' like it belongs where you place it.

We love traveling with xm/sirus radio...no trying to find a station or driving out of range once you find one. This radio was perfect because we could take it into whatever car we decide to drive.

Bought this for a customer after being told it would work on a vehicle he bought. After some back and forth for weeks on what’s compatible(and if it’s compatible) in service and parts they finally got it to work. In the future I’d just have them get a vehicle with XM installed! If you have an older vehicle and listen to XM then I would say get it.

After my previous Sirius radio quit working I needed to purchase another radio. Initially, I purchased a replacement from Sirius but decided to check at Best Buy to see how they related cost wise. The radio was much cheaper there. The radio works great. I had a remote with the previous one but they no longer include remotes. My fear was that it would be difficult to change while driving without the remote. However, it is very easy, especially if you pre-set some channels.

I was surprised how easy this was to set up. If you don't have a port in your car radio to plug it into, you'll have to use the power cord. If you travel out of your area you have to keep finding the local station to play the XM radio through which is a nuisance.

I probably should read the directions before I push buttons but normally I'm good without them. I had to go back to read them this time though, learning to switch between stations and devices got a little complicated.

I had satellite radio in my previous vehicle but traded it in. My new vehicle did not have satellite radio, so when I saw this unit for under 15 dollars, I jumped on it. It comes with the vehicle kit and self-installation took under an hour. My only complaint would be the buttons. They are very small and sometimes it takes a try or two to actually get the station to change.

I move this from vehicle to vehicle. I do not like having to pay for a subscription in each of my cars when I only drive one at a time. This is a very cost effective solution.

This is a good product if you don't want to pay a lot of money to convert your car's internal radio to include XM/Sirius. My old radio died after 5 years and I was able to plug this into the carrier I already had and it came right up. I had an issue with customer service trying to get my lifetime subscription moved to this device..and paying a 75 dollar 'transfer fee'...which is more than the device. It also does not come with a remote control so changing channels is a chore and is best done while your vehicle is not moving for safety sake. Other than that, the display is clear and is well lit at night.

You need to purchase the serius radio if you want HOWARD! Not the XM radio. I didn't know there was a difference till I installed the wrong one.

I bought this to replace another one that got a little wet. This radio has no protection at all. I use it outside in my John Deere Gator to listen while at work. One day it started raining and the radio got a little wet even though it was inside the gator. The radio works well and that is why I didn't hesitate to replace it.
