After calling Sirius-XM to activate this Xact receiver, I put the antenna inside my car -- I just set the end of the antenna behind the back seat, under the rear windshield. Then I bought a Phillips cassette adaptor for $9 at Walmart, put that in my car's cassette player and then plugged it into this Xact receiver. Now my car stereo plays satellite radio that is so clear it sounds like a recording! There's no static at all. Very simple and I definitely recommend this option as a cheap way to get satellite radio in your car if you have a cassette player on your car's stereo.

Bought a car that was set up for Sirius, so installation meant plugging in the existing wires. An investigation was required. Found this unit cheap and activation was painless. If there was a drawback, "A La Carte" was unavailable on this unit. Instead they offered me their "Everything" Service Package, limited to 160 channels by the unit, for $4.99 a month. Boom, a wide variety of programing was available. Has worked flawlessly, have only lost the signal under bridges. Have really enjoyed the service.

P.S.
Just be aware there is a hefty Early Cancel Charge with all the Service Packages. It's only for the first term of service, done away with after that. Figured if I can't afford $4.99, I've got major problems already.

I cant complain at all this Radio works great it Installs in a Few Min,For the Money is Fantastic it works just as they claim.Their is a down side and it not the Radio its Sirius service they will nickel and dime you to death with all of their Charges.We have taken the Smallest Music Package they have and its far to big for us.The only down side the Radio has you canot get Ala Cart with this unit.Other then that its Fantasic.

Excellent value for this type of product. I use this version as part of a house wide sound system since it doesn't need to be accessible. If your looking for a "smart looking" version, this is not it, look at the Starmate or other color versions.

We bought this as a replacement to the original Sirius radio we had, which was the exact same model. The original died after about 20 months. We bought another of the same model because the wife was used to it and she would not have to learn a new radio and this unit is very affordable.

Has a neat "flip" feature where you can mount it right side up, or upside down and the display will electronically flip to read correctly.

Has a remote control. Nothing else remarkable. Decent radio.
