junk!!

(1 out of 5) by firemedic on Dec 3, 2009 (ohio)
purchased a skyfi3 last year. after a few months it stopped working. sent it back and they gave me a refurbed one. a bigger piece of junk. keeps saying " no signal". did everything the tech at delphi told told me to do and still doing the same thing. i would look at another brand of radio first

Both units stopped working

(2 out of 5) by Rob Herbert on Nov 30, 2009 (NY)
My first unit stopped working after 8 months. (There was no sound coming from unit) XM customer service agreed to replace the model at no charge. 6 months later the second unit stopped working...same problem, no sound. XM will not offer me another replacement. XM's replacement offer for the portable model is the Pioneer with a cost of $200!! Do not buy this product if you plan on using it for more than a year

Great xm radio

(5 out of 5) by Mary A. Pace on Apr 19, 2009 (South Ga)
This is my second radio. Power outage shorted my first one. Was really enjoying this product and I had to get another. Great sound, have it connected to my home stereo system. Easy to install and price is reasonable.

The Worst

I had a previous model skyfi stolen from my car and replaced it with this "upgraded" model. I am totally dissatisfied with this piece of junk.

In populated areas the static is intense rendering the radio useless. It is not user friendly and from time to time it locks up.

XM radio good for car and home, not so much as a mobile device

(3 out of 5) by James R. Moore on Jan 11, 2009
Nice radio for use in the car and home, not so useful for mobile use as the antenna/headset combination is large and a little uncomfortable to wear. Also the battery life is extremely short when using the headset/antenna combination. Also the FM transmitter is not as powerful as in earlier XM radio models so could not use it to wirelessly connect to the car radio as I had in the past. Need to have cradle installed and radio physically connect to the antenna input of the car radio. This required extra expense for labor and parts that did not come with the car adapter kit.
