Not a good receiver
(1 out of 5) by Psycho Doggy on Nov 3, 2006 (SF, USA)i just cancelled my subscription of XM because for 2 months that i've tried XM, it seems to me that the normal radios have more interesting songs than XM.
Another reason of the camcellation of XM is the receiver. I used XM in my car and there're some problems;
1. the signal was too bad even the places that the normal radio have a signal, XM didn't.
2. I have to set up the receiver everytime i want to listen to XM. If you want to have a sattellite radio in your car, I recommend using the one that comes with a navigator so you don't have to set up everytime that you want to listen. Accoring to the manual, to get the best signal, it said that i should put the antenna (signal detector) outside the car which is impossible for me. I have to go through a door and put it above of the roof. Moreover, i tried and i couldn't shut the door very close or it will destroy the cable that coome with the antenna.
My conclusion;
For Delphi XM Roady : bad signal...better get the one that comes with the navigator and install in your car console.
For XM Radio : nothing really different from the ordinary radio (XM is more boring in my opinion).

How about a practical antenna?
(2 out of 5) by Travis E. Smith on Apr 18, 2006The antenna, at least in Wichita, KS, has to be mounted atop the roof of the car! Or, at least, the antenna will not work with double-walled steel when placed underneath the headliner.
So- this is a great radio for you el cheapo automobile with single wall steel panels.
Oh well... it is the el cheapo satellite radio receiver... what should I have expected?
XM satellite service is great! (Unless it is their signal that is just too weak?)
