This is a replacement unit for a 4yr. old SKIFi2 that no longer worked. So far it is working fine. I like the features on this unit; it's larger print display allows a quick glance to view info so less time is taken away from attention to driving.
This is our second xm radio. The Skyfi 2 is excellent. My husband wanted it to take to the assisted living home. We both enjoy the music so much, especially at night before we go to sleep. It is so much easier to read the song titles and seems to come in better (it wasn't as hard to direct the satellite disc). We only listen to a couple of channels but really like them.
I use this unit with my stereo in my living room. I love to hear music and sports with minimal interupption through throught the great speakers of my onkyo stereo. Great features are the wireless connectivity and the memory that allows you to go back to a song that just played to hear it again. Good, inexpensive entry level product.
Impossible to use anywhere near a city unless it is hard wired. All in all its a bust compared to previously released units that you could plug in and play near any FM radio without any additional wiring. Unlike its predecessors this unit doesn't play into the FM radio unless you can identify and tap into the FM ANTENNA that is in your car. It is equally useless in the home without a radio or stereo sytem that has RCA plugs. avoid this unit if you don't intend to have it professionally installed. That being said, nothing is bettter than XM radio.
This unit comes in plain white box packaging without:an antennaa power cordany mounting device whatsoeverany detailed manual.Here is exactly what you get:XM unitRemote2 aaa batteriesphotocopied manualhard to open plastic shell (not OEM packaging).I suspect this unit is stolen, or a minimum black market goods.
