    This thing is amazing. Easy to install and sound great. It has FM modulator, bluetooth, wifi, an aux out, and is able to dock. Definitely recommend for those who dont have SiriusXm built in a vehicle.

    I’ve been a SiriusXM subscriber since 2005. It was XM at the time and three years before they merged with Sirius. For the record XM went on the air 9/25/2001 and Sirius 7/2/2002. I have owned several radios over the past 15 years and this one is a good one but not perfect. Pros: Nice bright clear display with 16.7 million colors and 800X480 resolution. Touch screen. Bluetooth and line out connectivity for audio output. WiFi for integrating Pandora and SXM streaming, SXM On Demand and voice commands. Dual band Satellite receiver. Compatible with home base kit and boombox. Includes mounting kit for A/C vent and adhesive base with ball head. Easy to set up and use but takes a little time if you use all the options integrating Pandora and SXM On Demand. Extra SXM content with WiFi. Product seems well constructed but only has a 90 day warranty. :-( Cons: Super Slow to boot taking about a minute and a half. Screen brightness doesn’t auto dim at night. Some delay with the Touch Screen but I think it’s by design since a bumpy road could make for a missed touch when your finger is approaching it and getting close. Voice Control requires a WiFI Internet connection. Using a smartphone for a WiFi Hotspot could be a problem for some people depending on the service plan they may have. Only a 90 Day Warranty. Really Voxx? That’s all the confidence you have in the quality of a product that you sell for $150? The kit includes mounting hardware for placing the radio in front of an air conditioning vent with clips or a ball head mount with an adhesive bottom. Even a couple of alcohol pads for cleaning the surface you mount the ball head to. I ended up using the ball head mount in a console cubby. See photos. The 4 screws are for mounting the radio to the plate on the ball mount or the vent mount. Not for bolting it to your dash but you could if so desired. Installation can be as simple as just sticking the magnetic base antenna on the vehicle’s roof, plugging in the power adapter and then plugging both of those into the radio and start enjoying it via built in FM transmitter. But that wouldn't be very practical or neat. The roof mount magnetic base antenna has plenty of wire with it to run under trim pieces and be neatly hidden out of site. Do note that it’s actually extremely small coaxial cable so be careful not kink it or bind it to the point of crushing it. The “large” power plug also contains circuitry to drop the voltage from 12 to 13.8 volts DC to 5 volts DC at least 1.5 amps. The wire from it is much shorter than the antenna but will reach anywhere around the dash and then some. Connecting the audio to your vehicle’s audio system can be done with the supplied audio cable, built in FM transmitter or Bluetooth. I had no problem connecting it to my 2017 Honda Ridgeline’s radio's Bluetooth. The radio’s display shows Channel, Artist and Song playing. Station preset buttons 1 and 2 were remapped to Play and Pause. The Station Preset / Volume Control on the steering wheel will let you back up or go forward in the current song, depending how long it’s been playing, with the station preset buttons. This will probably vary on other vehicle’s radios. I tested the line out of the Tour with the AUX audio in and that worked fine as did the FM transmitter option. These options do not show any song info in the vehicle's radio display. The 4.3” touch screen is easy to navigate and you swipe right or left to scroll through channels and other menu screens. You can save up to 18 favorite Channels. Some of the features that I like is that when you change channels it will usually start at the beginning of the current song playing on that channel. This feature is only supposed to work when using the streaming option but seems to work on the Satellite Channels too. You can back up to the previous song(s) you have listened to or start a song over. You can pause a song and skip forward and reverse in what is buffered in the current channel memory. You can also set song alerts to let you know when a favorite is playing. I also have an Onyx radio with the home kit made by the same manufacturer, Voxx. The bases are the same and this radio will operate with it but the Home Base’s power supply’s current output is only 1 amp and this radio needs 1.5 amps to work correctly. If you use the 1 amp power supply it will boot up but it won’t work when you hit a button or try to operate it. It will reboot. The remote control with the Onyx will work with the Tour but not correctly. Some things work with it and some don’t. So if you want to use the radio in your home you will need to get the correct Home Kit for the Tour. Or, if your SiriusXM package includes streaming, just stream it to a device. SiruisXM is also carried on Dish Network. The Tour lets you integrate Satellite Channels, Pandora and SiriusXM On Demand together for easy recall on the Tour’s screen. Doing this and using Voice Control will require you to connect the Tour to a WiFi Internet connection. On the road you will need to use your smartphone’s WiFi Hotspot. Internet router at home. I had no problems connecting to my Note 10+ or my wife’s Note 9 to Bluetooth or WiFi as well as various Bluetooth earbuds by Sony, Aftershokz and Master and Dynamic. Conclusion: I think this is a good SiriusXM Radio that should please most people. But I also think it might be trying to do too much. Unless you have the most minimal SiriusXM package you will be able to stream SXM to a device such as your smartphone via the SXM app or Alexa or Google devices. Same goes for Pandora. I see the marketing point but is it worth the trouble to setup and use? And the 90 day warranty is a joke. So I’m giving it 3 stars. S L O W B o o t U p cost it a star and the 90 Day warranty Cost it another. What would make it better? Speed up the boot up, Add Auto dimming, Give it a 1 Year Warranty, Drop the WiFi - Pandora - On Demand and drop the price $30. That just might make it the Perfect SXM Radio! Just for the record, My pocket sized Samsung Helix / Pioneer Inno, was the best XM radio I ever had. I wore it out. ;-)

    Good SiriusXM Receiver

    |

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Standard SiriusXM Receiver with Internet Streaming built in. Has Bluetooth built in so that you can pair it with a car socket FM transmitter instead of using a FM Direct Adapter (even though that capability is still there). This makes it easier to pair it with built in car stereos (like mine) where I don't want to take apart the dash to get to the radio or pay someone to do it for me. The dock uses the PowerConnect adapter, so in theory the FM feature can work without installing an FM adapter. YMMV on this, both in terms of workability and sound quality. For me, it didn't work out well and I purchased a cheap Bluetooth FM transmitter to go with this in the car. A little slow to boot up (give it like 1-2 minutes compared to the 5-15 seconds a Onyx Plus/EZR would take) but worth if you want an all touch screen experience. The voice search feature is OK I guess, it works. Not much else to say on that front as I don't use it too much. As other people have said, this requires a different remote for it to work. The remote is only available as part of the Tour Home Docking Kit (SXDH4), or must be purchased from SiriusXM directly (SXWBR1). Other/Older remotes (like the one included with the portable speaker dock) can work to varying degrees, but don't expect the buttons to work as expected/if at all. Requires a SiriusXM Satellite Subscription, even though this receiver is internet capable. I have disconnected the satellite antenna before (to simulate a "Weak Signal" condition), and the Tour would prompt me to use Internet Streaming instead. In theory, SiriusXM could make it work with a streaming-only package (non-satellite, if user tries to connect to satellite, it wouldn't work), but I think they would rather charge more for the privilege. Recommended for people who want a touch screen only interface, or want built in Bluetooth capability to hook up with a Bluetooth accessory (such as a FM transmitter or stereo).

    Versatile device with some drawbacks

    This SiriusXM is a versatile device and has a lot of positive aspects that motivate me to have it. First. The device is well-built and comes with all the accessories that any user needs, whether to be used in the car or at home, where the device can be connected via the antenna "susceptible to tangle" or Wi-Fi, and this is what I did actually, I set up at home only to declutter and have almost cable-free. I simply docked the radion and plugged it in using micro USB cable and connected to wifi and then pair it up with a Bluetooth-enabled turntable also tried with AUX cable and that is it. The voice assistant is a great addition. The radio quality is the same as usual from SiriusXM, clarity is noticeable and distinguishable and free of signal issues. The two issues that I experienced as follows: the device is slow to start up as it takes up to one or more minutes to boot up and secondly the screen is not as responsive as it supposed to be. sometimes it takes more than 4 seconds or even more to execute the order. Other than that, the device is awesome and it does offer great radio and has multiple options to connect it which makes it versatile. I'm very happy to have it. One hope is that SiriusXM provides a firmware update that can reduce the bootup time as well as speed up the touch screen responsiveness.

    Too slow to be of much use

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really, really wanted to like the SiriusXM Tour Satellite Radio Receiver. I have been a Sirius subscriber for a couple of years now, after it was built into a new vehicle purchase and I discovered how much I like having access to Sports and News no matter where I am. This review is not a knock on the service at all. If you’ve been thinking about Sirius radio there’s likely a few reasons why already: you want to hear LOTS of sports coverage of more than just your local teams, you live in an area where radio is hard to get, or you drive a lot in ‘spotty’ cell and radio coverage areas. Sirius is fantastic for all of those uses, and for specific needs is a pretty great system. The sound is crystal clear, digital quality for both sports and music. I wasn’t happy that I had to pay to activate a second radio when my car activation was free, so that’s a bad start right from the get-go. Also, service to a second radio is barely discounted. Cable companies figured out a long time ago that you should simply charge for a ‘second device’ and leave it at that. Hopefully Sirius figures that out soon, as double the cost for radio in both cars simply isn’t worth it to me. The radio itself looks good. The box contains an antenna with a very strong magnet designed for mounting on the outside of the car (in my experience it does not move even the slightest no matter what the driving conditions are)—this has a really long wire, and there are several instructional videos out there to help you figure out the best way to hide it. There are clips for a vent and a very secure dashboard mount to provide a few different options to place the receiver in the most convenient spot. There’s a ‘bracket’ that holds the receiver itself, and a ‘lighter’ power cord that plugs into the mount (not the receiver). There are also screws for mounting the receiver to the bracket, an auxiliary cord for direct plug-in to a receiver, and an instruction guide that covers most everything and has directions on how to find more detailed instructions if necessary. Overall set-up was frustrating but not awful. My 2013 Honda had some connection issues through Bluetooth, but once installation and activation of the radio were complete it hasn’t had any issues with connecting. It did take a good ten minutes of attempting to pair before I was finally able to connect (using the forced pairing method—scanning never did work). I also attempted to connect to the internet since my wi-fi hits the driveway, but it wouldn’t acknowledge the connection (even though my phone connected to the same network with no issues). You can set up your phone for a ‘mobile hotspot’ for the radio to connect, but there’s a lot of drawbacks to that system. One of the benefits to this system should be that you don’t need to use your phone, but it works best with an internet connection as well as the antenna and in my car that means using my phone, too—definitely a drawback. The receiver itself looks very nice but is extremely prone to fingerprints. The picture attached is after a day of use. I’ve taken to having a cloth to wipe it off with in the car. It is also extremely slow to boot up, sometimes taking up to four minutes to be ready for use! In my car that’s a huge hassle since my car wants to pair with my phone first. Some cars let you pick the order of connection, but even those will require going into the menu system and making sure it tries to find the radio for several minutes before defaulting to whatever phone it typically connects with. To use the receiver over Bluetooth I must either sit in my driveway while it powers up, then manually over-ride the phone connection or turn off Bluetooth on my phone. Either way it’s not ideal. Beyond that the radio simply isn’t very responsive. More often than not I found myself hitting the same button over and over until I got a response or I gave up. In theory there’s a lot of good things on here, and when it’s working correctly and responds at the speed it should it’s a nice system. There are good menu groups such as news and sports that make sense and are easy to use—when it works. Also I did notice some of my favorite channels weren’t in any of the groups and had to be searched for manually (I couldn’t find the Dave Ramsey channel in any of the menu options, for instance). Being able to save favorite channels and access them quickly is a great feature Again, quickly is the operative word, and sometimes it worked great and took me straight to the channel, other times I hit the button four or five times before getting a response or giving up entirely. If you’re not connected to the internet, then some aspects of the radio don’t update at all. I listened to a few live games and noticed the scores didn’t update (it just gave an ‘updating’ message the entire time, even though the audio played). Scores display and update on the vehicle that has the built in Sirius receiver so I don't know what the issue is here, but I did notice when I tested it with my hotspot on the scores were updated and accurate. The biggest issue with already being a Sirius subscriber is that I can already do everything this receiver does with the Sirius app on my phone, at no additional cost aside from the price of a phone dash mount. I was hoping this receiver would eliminate the need to stream through my phone, but it’s simply more convenient to continue using the app than it is to use this receiver. The app can stream all the channels, play my favorites and display scores as they happen, so technically it works better, particularly when considering my phone is already on and connects much faster to my radio Bluetooth than the receiver does. Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of using this receiver for me. I think this receiver could fit much more specific needs—areas without cell phone reception, or if your phone plan is simply too expensive to stream all the time. I could also see using this receiver as part of a much larger interior home system with great success…but you’d need a different version of the mount, and a different power adapter (both of which I think are available)—and again, the Sirius app already does all of this. I would have been better served with a ‘dual’ system in one box and a mount that can work with either power system. As it is I likely won’t’ be using this at all.

    Sirius XM Fan - imperfect yet functional hardware

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Having been an early adopter of satellite radio in 2001 when XM and Sirius were separate entities, I’ve long preferred the format to terrestrial radio. Gone were the +12db local used car commercials and annoying inconveniences like car horns and ambulance sirens shamelessly intended to steal your attention. No more corporate media acquisition groups controlling near entirety of the Pop 40 songs they fed their listeners. No. Satellite radio opened up an entire world of actual musical variety, largely commercial free, with multiple channels for every genre of music, sports, talk shows, politics, etc. Fully expecting an involved setup and installation process I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t even need to remove my Pioneer head-unit thanks to Sirius XM Tour bluetooth connectivity. It took a couple of attempts initiating the BT pairing process from the head-unit and the XM receiver (mostly bc Pioneer is > 5 years old and still on older BT 4.0 platform) The interface is nice, bright, and colorful, with responsiveness slightly sluggish, akin to a later-generation mobile phone. The touch buttons took a millisecond more than initially expected but is easily adaptable. Digital Sound quality is excellent as usual, but the breadth and depth of stations reminded me how great music life was like before the media model changed to individual song streaming. I did have some signal drop out driving underneath low tree canopy, but service usually returned before migrating over to IP channel of the same station. My biggest wish for a mobile touring 360L unit would be to carry between car and home. The dock is included in the kit, but the lack of a home 120v power adapter is a head scratcher, as most users do not have 12-v DC cigarette lighter accessory in-home. PROS ——— + solid build quality + easy setup process + powerful antenna magnet + voice control for hands-free usage + internet streaming channels not offered via Sat + software / firmware updates over Sat and IP + Internet backhaul for acknowledgements CONS ———— -painfully slow boot-up and connect time -tour 360 kit lacks home power connector -limited usefulness between car and home -suggest including home charger adapter -Pandora integration seems a bit of a kluge CONCLUSION ———————— It’s hard to believe satellite radio is nearly 20 years old. It got off to a solid start but never seemed to gain the adoption rate that i’ve long felt it deserved. Setup is relatively easy, variety of content is excellent, but the hardware upgrades seem to have fallen far behind what we expect in the world of consumer electronics, where prices drops are inversely proportional to increases in functionality. This unit seemingly tugs in the opposite direction, with a higher price tag than initial car and home models, without adding enough functionality (IP streaming and Pandora notwithstanding) to justify. While far from perfect, this Sirius XM Tour 360L capably does what is expected of it. Recommend.

    I had Sirius XM before when I used to have a horrible commute. It was great. Listening to music and talk shows and sports without commercials. Now comes this Tour 360L. It can be both in the car and at home. One word of advise if your cell phone plan does not have unlimited you might want to re-evalate this purchase because it requires data from your cell while driving. 1 day required over 100 MB of usage. Car setup is easy. Plug in, mount, either connect via bluetooth or hardwire headphone jack and you are off and running. Home setup was a little tricky for me as I did not want to buy Sirius' home dock. I found a AC/DC adapter to power up and used a bluetooth speaker. It worked. Work from home due to COVID-19 requires all day at the PC and Sirius makes the day go by faster. I have only had reception problems twice. I think it was a bandwidth issue with my phone's hotspot. Other than that voice function was ok, touch screen not as sensitive as it could be, setup easy and straightforward, setup with Sirius account was not so easy because I was a previous customer but I got through it. Overall I would recommend this product.

    Product on Par w/ SiriusXM service

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Like many others, I embraced Sirius when it launched initially and actually had the Sportster SP-R1 (backlit amber) for almost 10 years. While programming has changed much over time - the concept is the same. I actually missed the legacy device as it was faster to tune and power on than this. Strange, a new 2020 unit device takes a long time to power on (2 mins). Also does not have any internal battery & must be plugged in to cigarette lighter, or other dock unit to operate. Activation to obtain the 3 months free service w/ paid activation only was difficult. SiriusXM really tries to get you to commit to a subscription out the door as a new customer. Offer not valid to existing customers, which is less than desirable. Also no human to speak to for assistance on Sat or Sun. Touchscreen is nice, fairly responsive and bright. Cords included for the antenna and power are plenty long. Many options to connect (Bluetooth, aux cable, and FM transmitter), and also Pandora and wifi connectivity. One thing I didn't like is unless the radio is activated, you cannot use it to stream Pandora even if connected to wifi. You are a prisoner of a subscription if you chose to own and want to continue using this product. Not my favorite type of business model.

    Installation was simple on our 2019 Sprinter Van - - ran antenna wires around windshield, into engine compartment through existing holes and into the inside dash through existing holes. No drilling and easy setup that was essentially plug and play. Antenna has magnet, so easy to attach. And, as noted by many, startup is a little slow but once it's up and going it works as well as my car with it all pre-installed. Bluetooth is outstanding and connects easily - - using FM channel did not work particularly well. Go with Bluetooth and this will be total success.

    The radio is fairly decent receiver after getting use to it. It's great if you don't have a AUX audio plug in your car as it can connect to your car radio Bluetooth. It has some extra channels that I didn't get on my old receiver. One draw back it takes about a min or 2 to boot up, that's because it's operating system is Android. Once you get use to that it comes out being a great radio receiver. If your coming from an older receiver, takes little bit to get use to the workflow of the functions. The changing channels can be little cumbersome if you are a channel changer as I, but it does have a favorites menu that is easily accessible.

    I got this because have Sirius all Access package and found a station on the app that was in the 300 range and most recivers do not go over 200. I found out by Sirius XM rep that in order to get stations over 200+ had to get a reciver with 360L this on has that. I ended up canceling my radios in my car and other dockable one. The pros are can get every station the All Access packages offers + has other feature like WiFi etc. The cons are does not come with a remote but there is a comparable remote out there but costs an extra $10 us dollors, also is very slow to boot up.

    I purchased this prior to reading reviews for this model. Very flexible hookup, and access to Pandora and Spotify, but using in 2006 BMW and cannot access car speakers. Using portable blue tooth speaker. Startup is only about a minute, but not ideal for someone who drives a local service route. Can use it in the house and run through home audio. Taking on vacation so I don't have to pay for rental car Sirius access. Best for later model cars with built in USB functionality but does the job.

    Like all XM radios I've had over the years, it brings in all the audio I want into my vehicle during my drives. The Tour has the largest screen of any XM radio and very easy to read. Operation is very similar to built-in radios in some vehicles. If you have WiFi available in the vehicle (even mobile hotspot off a phone) you can access many additional stations than other XM radios. Two negatives: 1- it takes about 2 minutes to boot up...way longer than any of the many XM radios I've had in the past 2- there is no way to step through the favorite channels as on other radios. You have to click the favorite button then scroll through the icons/screens. The optional remote control makes this much easier but you still need to be looking at the screen to move between favorites where on other radios you can simply press the 1-0 buttons to step through them.

    An Okay Tour for Music

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve had my Tour for about a week now and pun intended but I don’t feel it gives a 360 tour of what a music streaming service/product does. I’d say it’s average because there are three things that set it back and make it dated for me. 1. If it is going to not give me access to certain content then until I choose to upgrade they should not even show the channels in the lineup. It makes the device look cheap like a tv store front with previews. 2. The user interface aka touch screen functions are not as responsive to the touch like other touch screen devices. 3. Wires are still a thing in 2020 and while I’ve had a radio tuner in a device the size of two quarters this device requires you to carry around this wretched almost 10-15ft wire to make it function in the car. I purchased the home kit and it is working great, I needed to figure out to hide the eye sore of a wire but otherwise it does well. Overall, it is a good alternative if you want to mindlessly skip through channels and not choose your music. I do love the Chill and New Music stations because of the style of music playing.

    Radios nice and has nice features and a beautiful screen on it and it’s a touchscreen. Radio really needs a remote to take advantage of all its nice features. Plus in the car your gonna have to use hotspot on your phone to take advantage of the on demand and pandora features obviously. So without internet and a remote it’s got a nice screen and easy to read. But a remote is only available in the Home Kit DH4 and it has its own special remote. The 2.0 remote will operate it but not very well. Unit also takes up to a minute to boot up on startup.

    For YEARS, I was using a Stiletto 2 which I transferred from car to car. After it kicked the bucket 2 weeks ago, I decided to upgrade to this init. It's pretty nice, very modern unit in that it has a nice display, fantastic touch screen capability AND internet connectivity which are all pretty cool. What I strongly dislike is that it takes FAR too long to boot up and start playing ..... I would say up to about 3 minutes. That NOT COOL especially when listening to live games.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
