Audiovox CNP2000H XM Radio Mini Tuner Home Dock with Antenna Review

Audiovox CNP2000H XM Radio Mini Tuner Home Dock with Antenna
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased this product in conjunction with a Samsung Nexus 50. It allows me to take the small tuner module to record on the Nexus or to work on this dock with my XM-ready Yamaha home theater receiver. Turns out I didn't even need to mount the antenna in a window or outside facing South. It works with a decent signal level located inside a cabinet on the south wall of my house, picking up sufficient signal levels through the cabinet and the outside wall of my house!!! I just used the tuner display of signal strength and moved it around till I found a good signal, avoiding the need to buy an extention cable, drilling a hole through the wall and mounting it outside.

Delphi SA10002 XM SKYFi Vehicle Kit Review

Delphi SA10002 XM SKYFi Vehicle Kit
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.

This vehicle adapter kit is just the thing to complete your Delphi SKYFi radio system. The base SKYFi receiver package (model SA10000) contains a receiver and a remote control. To install your SKYFi in a car, you need this SKYFi vehicle adaptor kit (model SA10002), which contains a vehicle cradle, a cassette adapter, an antenna, and a 12V power adapter.The vehicle cradle holds your SKYFi receiver and provides connections for audio, power, and antenna cables. You should mount the antenna on the roof of your car or truck. The 12V power adapter plugs into your cigarette lighter and powers SKYFi through the vehicle cradle. The cassette adapter, meanwhile, lets you listen to XM right through your car stereo's cassette deck. (The SKYFi FM modulator, model SA10030, is available for vehicles without a cassette player.)
What's in the Box Vehicle cradle, a small magnet-mounted vehicle antenna, a cassette adapter, a power adapter, and a user's manual.

Sirius ST2 Starmate Replay Satellite Radio with Car Kit Review

Sirius ST2 Starmate Replay Satellite Radio with Car Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got my Starmate Replay about a month ago. Since then, I only listen to "normal" radio when Howard Stern is on in the mornings. After that, it's Sirius all day long. Come January, I'll be saying goodbye to terrestrial radio.
The good:
The size of the unit makes it a breeze to install. I originally mounted it on my dash in front of my steering wheel where I could see it and access it easily. I used velcro for that install, but it didn't work out as nicely as I wanted. I solved that problem with a vehicle specific dash mount from Crutchfield. Best $35 I spent. The unit is now mounted just to the right of the factory radio and is out of the way, yet still very accessible. The remote is a good size without being too small. The buttons are well placed and it works good without having to point it directly at the unit. That said, I rarely use it. The unit is well within easy reach without taking my eyes off the road.
Bad:
I dont really have anything "bad" to say. The unit does get warm, but that seems to be an industry wide side effect. I keep the brightness and contrast at a minimum and that seems to keep the unit a tad cooler. I do not have a fear that the unit will overheat. It just doesn't get that hot.
Overall I'm very satisfied with this unit. So much so that I just bought another one as a gift.

Sirius Stiletto 10/100 Vehicle Kit SLV1 Review

Sirius Stiletto 10/100 Vehicle Kit SLV1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently hooked my S100 up to my car and everything seems to work just fine. The only problem i had was setting the fm transmitter to a channel that didn't have any interference from radio stations. Problem solved by connecting Sirius's FM direct Adapter(which connects through the cars antenna plug). No more static in any city. So the only real problem is that this car kit doesn't come with the FM direct adapter which was $20.

Audiovox Sirius SUPH1 Dock & Play Home Kit (Black) Review

Audiovox Sirius SUPH1 Dock and Play Home Kit (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this after signing up for Amazon Prime. Received it in two days at no extra charge. Hooked it up to my Onkyo receiver and ran the antenna cable outside...I had to drill a hole through the wall to get the cable outside, behind my components. I put two screws onto the outside edge of the overhang of the roof and mounted the antenna. Came inside, hooked up all the wires to the dock and plugged in my Sportster 4.
I got the full 3 bars of signal strength and am enjoying my Sirius Satelite Radio as I'm typing this review. I am trully happy with this purchase and it's about $10 cheaper than Circuit City or Best Buy.
So long as you mount the antenna as the directions state, I don't think anyone should have a problem with the reception. The instructions included show what direction the antenna should be pointing depending on what part of the country you live...also...the optimum position for the antenna is pointing straight up.

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

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

The home adapter kit is fantastic! First, it's very easy to install. Second, it doesn't take up much space. Third, it increases the funtionality of the SKYFi2. Finally, it's relatively inexpensive.
I received the SKYFi2 with car adapter kit as a Christmas gift. After having it professionally installed in my car, I became an instant fan of XM Radio. I soon started listening to XM on my home computer via XMRadio Online and then decided to go with the home apapter. XM Radio sounds incredible on my stereo system and there is little to no interference. Just remember...don't let the AC cord and the audio cables touch or you will definitely get interference.
