Sirius Radio Car Kit
(5 out of 5) by Richard E. Parker on Jun 2, 2008 (Spokane, WA USA)Needed flexibility to use my Sirius satellite radio in more than one vehicle. I had trouble locating the car adapter kit but finally found it on Amazon. The price was reasonable. I received my order quickly. I installed the adapter and now am able to use my radio in three different cars.

works well
(5 out of 5) by Frank S. Cali on Feb 7, 2009 (Scranton, PA)Item arrived quickly and in good condition. The S50 car kit has great FM output power with little to no static. Car kit has several different configurations to able to be used in many different vehicles. I velcro taped mine into the cup holder and has been rock solid there.
Great Deal!
(5 out of 5) by Michael J. Dunn on Aug 29, 2009 (California)I am so pleased with this purchase. I was unable to find this product anywhere, even through Sirius! It was just as described and for a great price! Thank you Amazon!

Sirius bombed on this one for me...
(3 out of 5) by ReToM7 on Dec 11, 2008 (Hyde Park, NY USA)I have always used Sirius and I love it. Now that the companies XM and Sirius, have merged, you'll have to love it too if you want to get satellite radio.
I went with the S50 because it was on sale through the website (clearance). Well, I still needed the car kit, and that was impossible to find. Ended up having to spend MORE for a clearance receiver + car kit than a new receiver + car kit. Fooled by the "portable" listing, realizing that it's only portable for what was recorded, I just had to deal with it.
The car kit is alright, but difficult to position. They could have given you more options to position it in the right way for your dash or car. They also lose points because it's a model specific car kit, rather than universal, so when the time comes, I am going to have to purchase ANOTHER car kit for my next receiver. The difficulty of locating this device also loses them some points because it was no longer affordable or convenient. I got suckered into purchasing a "portable" unit at an awesome price but a car kit at a staggering obnoxiously high price.
Also, minor gripe to some, but no simple on/off button annoys me. I have to just unplug it.
