Delphi SkyFi2 XM Satellite Radio Receiver and Car Kit

Delphi did pretty well with the design and operational logic on this receiver. The display is big and clear, controls are simple and not crowded together like the itty bitty bead buttons you see on a lot of modern electronics. Menus are reasonably intuitive too. My only (small) complaint is rotating the dial moves the display cursor in the opposite direction you would expect.

This receiver has 3 preset channels A,B &C with 10 channel settings on each. It also has direct tune feature.
You can scroll through the channel settings with the remote or the dial on the receiver itself.
You can go back for the last thirty minutes of programing & play it again if you really like it or you were out of the room & missed it.
I have three of these & REALLY LIKE THEM!

Very nice receiver, the FM modulator is not very good, so I got a direct connect and it works a lot better.

I received this for Christmas 2004 and it is still going strong almost 4 years later. The receiver is easy to use and easily picks up a signal, even indoors. I have it docked with a Delphi boom box in my office, which has no windows, and still can listen to it most of the time. On the negative side, the display screen is a little difficult to keep clean and the silver finish easily scratches off. Overall, I've been pleased with this item. In terms of the service provided by XM Radio, it bothers me that they have increased their pricing and I don't like the billing options but I will not let the service aspect influence my rating of this item. Service is, however, something you will want to consider and research a little before deciding to buy this.

Works well. Easy to get a signal. Solid performance. I use these in a business application, one has been in service for 2 years and has never been a problem. I have just bought this one, and will be buying another one soon. I haven't been able to find one that comes with the home kit instead of the car kit, so I always have to buy the home kit and store the car kit. This unit, a home kit, and a set of wireless speakers is a good solution for using xm for business.
