Delphi SkyFi2 XM Satellite Radio Receiver and Car Kit

The Delphi SkdyFi2 is everything I wanted. I can leave it in my car,and tune in my home stero and listen to the station that I have selected in the car. I move it to the boat and listen to it in the summer also. The Delphi SkyFi2 is portable and easy to move.

... if price was completely taken out of the equation. Nice big display, fairly easy to install, (((XM)))'s service (in my opinion) is second to none. There's a lot of good here, just not at seventy-dollars. Quite honestly, that's just FAR too expensive.
You would do better to either examine the used items being sold here, or take the money you would've spent and purchase the XpressR from Delphi. For a comparable price (I think the R is about ten or fifteen dollars more) you'll get a current unit with TONS of features and twice as many accessory options.
Highly recommend the service, but your money would be better well spent on a different, i.e. more current, model.

UPDATE: This unit is currently marked at the $55 Range ... this would qualify as a price I'd consider to be completely reasonable and a good value.

SINCE NOT WANTING TO BUY SIRIUS THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO SIRIUS. EASY TO PROGRAM BUT HARD TO DELETE FAVORITE CHANNELS AND SONGS.

SIN:B0009NMQ2I Delphi SkyFi2 XM Satellite Radio Receiver and Car Kit]]

Enjoy my product and have had it about 2 years. Use in home and auto. My problem is with reception in auto when in large city areas the FM reception is terrible. Local FM stations drown out XM signal and it is useless until I get out of the large city areas. Have tried using the other channels but to no success. What kind be done about this?

I bought an XM (over Sirius) because I wanted MLB and ACC Sports coverage. If you are doing it for the same reason, be forewarned that XM only carries one broadcast of each game, which means that you will often be hearing the OTHER team's broadcast (and frequently be getting angry with the announcers).

Other than that, I LOVE XM's musical selection, although I assume it would be about the same for Sirius

As for the player, it is very easy to use and has good features.

As for complaints:
- First off, the sound quality is pretty bad. It's somewhere between the quality of FM and AM radio, which is not the way you want to listen to your music. I even got the $30 add-on that is supposed to improve your reception. I'd hate to hear what it's like without this piece! This is extremely disappointing.
- I used the "stick-on" pad to stick the player to the front side of the dash, however, it MELTS OFF in the summertime! So I ended up having to Krazy Glue it on, which will probably look terrible when I go to take this thing off.
- The player is on a swivel-thing, that screws on to tighten. But no matter how hard I tighten it, it still manages to droop towards the floor so that I can't see the screen, and I have to readjust it once a week or so.
- The screen does not display the entire artist & song always, because it frequently fills up the screen, and doesn't scroll to account for this.

I have had this for about three months and thus far have had no issues with it not working.
