it's been great [Posted on 2008-06-12]
I bought this back in july, installed it in my Jeep Wrangler and it has been great from the first day, I had a little trouble with the shipping but that was not Amazon's fault or the Sirius's. I use it in both my house and car it is always great
Easy to use radio BUT terrible transimittor [Posted on 2008-06-16]
First off, I must separate my Absolute LOVE for SIRIUS the company with this ho-hum radio. It's a great radio if you don't need a transmitter. First, let me explain why you might want a good transmitter. For those of us who listen to Sirius sat. radio in our homes, we often walk around the house or in my case the apartment. When I had my simple XACT model the transmitter was fantastic and I could dial the Sirius radio to my favorite station and have it playing on every radio. This was a great perk as often my boyfriend wanted to play his music on our stereo system and I could go take a bath or go into the bedroom and still use the sat. radio without moving the whole system and plugging it in. Also, it was great in the kitchen I could listen while loading dishes. Ok you get the idea....
So the rest of the radio is very simple and easy to program your favorites. It is fairly handsome. However, the really special thing about the radio is the Sirius service which I have had now for 2 and half years. The reason I got this radio is that my Xact model died and I called the company to put my service on hold until I got a replacement model. THE COMPANY SENT ME TWO OF THESE RADIOS FOR FREE...Who does that anymore? They had nothing to do with one of the models that broke and still THEY SENT ME TWO RADIOS FOR FREE. I have to say except for one customer service rep...Who was nice but a little spacey I have to say everyone at Sirius customer service has been extremely nice to me. But then again I may be blinded by the fact that THEY SENT ME TWO RADIOS FOR FREE.
You might be saying two of her radios broke. Yes, my Xact model which I don't believe they make anymore broke. My boyfriend bought me a Sirius Stilletto 100 refurb. for Xmas. The stilletto only lasted about 6 months. The stilletto is a Sirius product but the Xact model is not. I don't know if my experience is the norm. However I own many Tivoli products and they NEVER break...I mean never. I might have to purchase their sat. radio for $300 if I want a Sat. radio that lasts.
get sirius people [Posted on 2008-06-17]
i bought my sportster 4 back in december as a christmas gift to myself. i fell in love with it right out the box. it was extremely easy to hook up, took less then an hour. I haven't really listened to all of the stations...right now i'm hooked on channel 29 punk. best punk around, sirius has a huge rock selection. if you're into rap sirius is not the way to go...they only have a limited amount of channels.
I'm using the FM-transmitter that came in the box...the only think about that is that you have to find a clear station and around these parts its hard to find a good clear station...i finally found one in my part of town and kept it on my presets in my car. every now and then i'll get static but i don't mind it...
enjoy.
don't buy [Posted on 2008-07-30]
Don't buy this model mine burned up after 3 months of use. I love sirius but this radio is notorious for burning up.....buy a different model
the honest truth [Posted on 2008-08-09]
The true answer to if this is a great product or not is yes, it is. I have read some of the other comments and people complain about the set up that has your radio not directly connected to your radio, basically this is the cheap way out. For the best result, you spend more money--bottom line! It is like 70 dollars to install it at best buy. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get it professionally installed. it is money well spent! You will hate regular radio. Plus, XM and and Sirius will officially have plans for more radio channels by the end of summer '08. It will be great!
