Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this Sanyo CRSR-10 from sirius.com. Definitely a good deal for the price and when I bought, there was a $50 rebate. Does basically all that I would want it to do (grant me Howard Stern). The buttons could be a bit more responsive and it doesnt feel all that well made (plastic), but all in all good bang for buck.
My problem was with Sanyo and Sirius. My kit was missing an important part--the button plate. I called Sirius and was told to send everything back (sigh). I called Sanyo to see if I could obtain the part and was even willing to pay for it. They apparently dont distribute parts for their own equipment, so I was directed to Tritronics, Inc, who told me I could buy the part for $28 (!!!). When I spoke again with Sanyo, they blamed Sirius for repacking the Sanyo radios, causing the loss of parts. Bottom line=unhappy customer not real happy with Sanyo or Sirius, and neither company really wanting to help all that much. Thanks. So basically I made my own replacement for the part, channelling the spirits of MacGyver and Bob Villa. BTW, God help you if you need to call Sirius--the folks working there are just not that bright, save for the very last person I spoke with (#4)

Sanyo CRSR-10 Sirius Satellite Receiver with Car and Home KitEnjoy up to 120 Sirius satellite radio channels (65 of them commercial-free) in the car or at home with the Sanyo CRSR-10 plug-and-play tuner. The package, which includes such items as a suction-cup car mount, a car antenna, a home stand, a home antenna, and much more, gives you everything you need to set up your Sirius system right out of the box. It all starts with the tuner, naturally, and its variety of valuable functions. The CRSR-10 offers four search methods: by category (pop, rock, country, hip-hop, R&B/urban, dance/electronic, jazz/standards, classical, Latin and world, news, traffic and weather, sports, and talk and entertainment), channel, artist name, or song title. Once you've selected a channel, the tuner's blue backlit readout displays up to six lines of information, including the three-digit channel number and name, the artist name, the song title, the category name, the satellite signal strength monitor, and more.
On those occasions when you want to hear a specific tune, you can turn to the "song seek" memory, which stores up to 10 song and artist names and tells you when a saved song is playing on a given station. And old-fashioned channel surfers will delight in the three-digit direct tuning pad and the 20 station presets (in two banks), which make it a breeze to quickly access your favorite channels.
The CRSR-10 even adds a bit of style to your car or living room with its three interchangeable faceplate rings in chrome, metallic blue, and glossy black. The rings let you match the tuner to its surroundings while also varying the display color.
The tuner offers a couple of interface options with your audio equipment. The built-in FM transmitter broadcasts the satellite signal to any unused FM frequency--from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz--so you can listen without connecting cumbersome cables to your stereo receiver. This option is particularly convenient for car stereos that don't have auxiliary inputs. To output the best possible sound quality, however, the tuner offers a 3.5 mm auxiliary output and a patch cord that connects directly to compatible car and home receivers. Other terminals include a power input that accepts a plug from either a home AC adapter or vehicle cigarette lighter adapter (both included) and a jack for the included home and mobile antennas.
Additional features include a password option that restricts channel access (ideal for families); a built-in clock with alarm and sleep timer functions; and a program alert that automatically switches to a select channel at a specific time. The CRSR-10 receiver measures 4 by 4 by 1.81 inches (W x H x D) while the home base measures 4 by 4.8 by 3.73 inches. The car mount, meanwhile, checks in at 3.41 inches in diameter. The entire bundle comes with a one-year warranty.
Note: You must subscribe to Sirius satellite radio to receive the satellite radio signal.
