Bought three of these trying to find one that would receive a signal from XM. Tested inside and outside. Side by side to the Delphi equivalent, there is no comparison. Delphi product is far superior in sensitivity, or else all three of these units from Audiovox were faulty. The boombox apparently has some antenna or receiving section issues. Not worth the time and effort to even try another one out. The same Audiovox works fine in auto parked a few feet away from test of boombox, so it had to be all three boxes.

This boombox has very nice sound, You have to extend the antenna wire out away from radio to pick up go signal in most cases. even outside. if you like to sit outside and listen to xm this is the thing for you. Needs a plug near by though.............. because it takes 8 d batteries.

i would have given this 5 stars but the volume doesnt go down far enough to use as sleeping music. also there is a noticable hum in the background. it sounds much better than the other xm boomboxes i tried especially at louder volumes.
