just *slightly* less COUNTER-INTUITIVE than the Roady2! [Posted on 2005-12-04]
...I mean, I'm glad I forked over $15 for this thing, since fiddling with my Roady 2 while driving was a certain deathwish because the buttons are so atrociously placed.
But really, almost 2 months later, I *STILL* have to look down at this darn remote to do anything other than push one of the 10 preset buttons. When I compare this remote's ease of use and learning curve with that of my other remotes (the Pioneer car stereo, home audio receiver, home DVD player, etc.) it really is a hopeless mess.
GRRRR! Whoever decided what each button does and where it gets placed on both the Roady *console* AND the Roady *remote* is either a total retard or a total sadist, and in either case deserves to be summarily shot!!!
I also wish that this remote had backlit buttons for night operation.
Maybe the people who design the XM satellite interfaces are the same people in charge of torturing detainees at Abu Gharib...lol
Nice little Unit [Posted on 2006-02-24]
This remote works nicely, user friendly. The buttons DO NOT light up or glow in the dark, but not a big issue. Overall I think its a wonderful item and makes having XM radio safer because you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use it.
sluggish [Posted on 2006-03-09]
The remote is well designed, and small. fits in the plam of your hand. But it seems very slow in responding to power/on power off, and really isn't all that good from about 10 feet away, where I control my Roady from while at my desk. It does use a nice 3V coin battery that comes with it, but for channel surfing, not a good design.
Does not work in the cold [Posted on 2008-01-22]
I have had my roady for a couple of years and have noticed that when the weather is cold it does not work. I have to place it on my heat vent or sit on it to warm it up before it will work. Since it is even colder out now it takes almost my entire ride to work for the thing to warm up enough to work. It isn't a battery issue since I already bought new batteries to make sure it isn't the problem.
Not worth the money! [Posted on 2008-06-16]
Both my wife and I have this remote for our Delphi Roady 2 & Delphi Roady XT respectfully. We have the exact same problem with them. If it sits in the car on a hot summer day, it works fine. If I bring it in the house with my receiver to listen to XM inside - after a while, IT WILL NOT WORK! USELESS!! Please don't waste your money on this remote.
