Delphi SA10002 XM SKYFi Vehicle Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I *love* my SkiFi (I have the home adapter too). The car unit takes a little installation effort (about an hour in my case), and does not switch too easily from car to car. However, once installed, it worked great! The trickiest part of the installation requires running two thin wires to the outside of the car, where a little antenna about the size of a computer mouse will stick to your roof with a very strong magnet. I was able to simply snap off the door molding in my van to hide the wires and then snap the molding back; no real big whoop.
Next, you stick the enclosed mounting swivel device to your dashboard with special glue they supply. Power the thing up by plugging it into your car's lighter jack. Finally, use the cassette adaptor to run the sound through your car stereo.
The cassette adaptor requires that you have a tape player in your car stereo. If you don't, you'll probably have to get an RF modulator to pump the sound through your FM radio. SkiFi is supposed to be offering an RF Modulator type kit soon. Other companies do make them though. In my case, my car stereo has an AUX input that allowed me to plug the device in with a simple wire.
HINT: You may get some 'whining' interference. If so, a device called a 'ground loop isolator' from Radio Shack fixed that problem nicely.
Once you get used to XM, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
I'm very happy with this unit, and I think GM unit Delphi has a hit on their hands. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more XM radio users as they begin to appear in new automobiles.

Audiovox Car XMH10A Xpress Home Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted an XM radio for the longest time. I opted for the Audiovox Xpress RC model with the home dock. It was well worth the extra money I spent on the Xpress and the Home dock. Now I have XM at my disposal in the car and in my home. It's so easy to transfer from the home to the car. I LOVE IT!!!

Kenwood DT-7000S Sirius Satellite Radio Home Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit is awesome. I wasn't interested in the dockable tuners, because I primarily listen to radio at home.
The DT-7000S is awesome. You can scroll through the stations, scroll through the categories, and punch in specific channel numbers on the keypad.
It's got a dimmable blue display that displays a lot of information, including the time.
I coupled this with a Terk SIR6 home antenna, which gets a strong signal -- perfect reception -- even though I mounted the antenna in the attic. I didn't even need to go outside!
I read the reviews of the "software glitch" on scrolling past 100 channels, but I have never encountered that. With the ability to punch in channel numbers directly, it's not even an issue.
I'm completely happy with this tuner, and it looks awesome sitting atop my component system.

The DT-7000S offers both RCA composite A/V and optical digital audio output.

Delphi SA50004 XM SKYFi Home Adapter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very easy install.. but a little warning. You may need to purchase a shielded cable. ( ie: Monster or Acoustic Research). Hooked up two of these one downstairs, one upstairs.Downstairs on a inexpensive audio system (Aiwa bookshelf system CD.Cassette,Am/Fm). That one worked fine. Upstairs on a larger Denon A/V Receiver not so good, major humming noise.Turns out the unshielded cable supplied with home kit picks up major electrical interference from receiver (I'm sure there's a proper word for that). Discovered I wasn't the only one with that problem.Installed a shielded cable for about $13.00 noise gone. This probably applies to the home kit for the SKYFI2 if it uses the same cable.

Kenwood KPA-H2EH Home Docking Kit for Sirius Here2Everywhere Satellite Radio Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The home docking station cuts off the FM tuner capability enough to render that feature useless to transmit to other FM radios in the house. For the same dollar amount, buy the car kit, (I bought a 2nd, and will buy a third). The cradle on the car kit sits in a flat surface just as well as the home unit. If I would have known then, I wouldn't have bought the Home Kit..... P.S. I wrote a similar review on Kenwoods' Website.. Hope this helps..........Amps: Eureka, California.........

Audiovox XMH-10 Home Kit for Xpress XM7 Satellite Radio Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reception with the antenna is great. The cord is long enough to reach our stereo from the window. A good 15 ft.
I come home from work, unplug the Audiovox XM Xpress from the car dock and slide it onto the home dock next to the stereo. I recommend the wired audio output to stereo. Overall, works great and has a small footprint.
