The worst product I've ever used/bought.

 

I'm 50+ and have never in my life time, bought such a worthless piece of unreliable, poorly designed or manufactured junk. I like and use XM radio and own two other recievers in my house and another car. I bought this with the inticement of a 3 year...

Large buttons, text and screen that can be used in a widescreen format

Spend more time re-booting than listening

Generally A Good Satellite Radio-But There Are Better Options

 

I've installed, tested, & used almost all Sirius & XM satellite "dockable" units, including the SkyFi3 unit. I previously owned the SkyFi3's competition, the Pioneer Inno.

Large display, dock is better, SD card slot

Display hard to see as well, build quality, overall "smoothness" of firmware in

Great radio with just a couple of drawbacks

 

I purchased the Delphi SkyFi radio about 8 months ago. I drive a whole lot, so the SkyFi is great to have whenever I drive through areas that have little or no regular radio service. No matter where I drive, the SkyFi picks up the signal.

One the least expensive XM radios you can buy

Have to put up with reflective screen in well-lit settings

XM is awesome, Delphi is is OK

 

I got XM last summer. My commute is about an hour through a rural area, which doesn't get much AM/FM radio reception. Since getting XM, I haven't listened to FM at all! It is great. I have a Delphi receiver, which has been 98% reliable...twice heavy...

The $100 centerpiece of $20,000 stereo?

 

While not honestly CD quality unless your CD player is $100 (mine is $3500 just the player). Nevertheless the quality of sound is very dynamic and clear. And the entertainment is due to good DJs cooking up interesting mixes that make sense, non-stop,...

Unlimited 24 hour entertainment

This sounds great for $100? I want a $1500 one

It's worth the money to pay for radio!

 

We bought our XM SkyFi and within 48 hours, we went out and bought a second one for our other car! I never would have imagined that I would actually PAY for radio - but it's worth the money. The XM channel selection has something for everyone and if...

It's portable - use in-home and in car - same unit with additional add-ons

Every piece sold separately - figure out what you need before buying

Go beyond AM, beyond FM, go to XM

 

"10 bucks a month for radio service?! Who would in their right mind pay for something I can get for free or listen to CDs for my music. 10 bucks a month, yeah right."

Lots of variety, more music, less talk, easy to set up, great sound

Not including the vehicle adapter kit and/or home kit

XM Skyfi - Thought I would never pay for radio untill i tried it.

 

Living in Southern California, I'm faced with a pretty long commute - a minimum of 2 hours a day on the road going to and from work.

Portability from car to home to work. A blessing compared to regular radio

Car kit is primitive. XM is for mass market. Don't expect to like every station
