This handy kit works well in any vehicle where an older type stereo with a cassette deck is used. The XM signal is picked up by a magnetic mounted antenna and transmitted through the stereo via the cassette deck. Simple installation. Unbelievable reception!

My 2 star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the item, just with the price. You get the home docking station, an AC adapter, the home antenna, a cable and a remote. It just seemed a little weird to have to spend about the same as the radio itself to get items that you really need to enjoy your Roady XT at home. I think Delphi should sell a unit that has *everything* you need to enjoy Satellite Radio in your car and your home for a really fair price.

The product itself is fine.Ridiculous amount of equipement just to get radio???? They are making money hand over fist on all this unecessary stuff you have to buy and then poor sound. But they claim close to cd quality and it is closer to mp3. The content is there just not the sound quality needed to really enjoy the music. And by the way keep an eye on your account with them (xm) you can read some of the consumer complaints and most are related to unapproved charges,inflated charges, bad customer service. I just signed up 2 weeks ago so I will have to see if they are as bad as the comments posted. But anyway the home kit is fine, You really dont have a choice but to buy it if you want this overpriced service to work from home.

When I bought my Delphi Roady satellite XM radio it came with all this plus the set up things needed for the car for about $50. The radio conked out after less than a year and I stupidly tossed all the other stuff thinking I wouldn't use it again. Now they sell everything separately and charge more for it??? I think I'll stick with free radio.

Just got back from a trip and used the remote control in the car...very handy. I'll set up the home kit now that we're back from vacation.
