Excellent Value, Easy to Use |

While it may not have all the bells and whistles of other, fancier XM receivers, what you do get is a quality receiver that delivers as expected - no more, no less. The large display screen is easy to read and the information 'ticker' at the bottom of the screen is a nice perk. The unit was easy to set up and and very intuitive to use. I was a little disappointed to find that the cradle must be plugged in for the unit to work in the car - even with its batteries fully charged. The microSD card slot is a nice bonus for storing or recording music (though it's too bad the maximum card memory size is only 2 Gb). All things considered, I got exactly what I expected from the unit with very little to complain about.

When looking for a new XM unit to replace my wife's Roady2 in her new Equinox, I was first attracted to this unit because of the "DVR" like features, and the slim, vertical orientation. However, I was hesitant to buy it after reading all of the reviews referencing lockup issues, etc... However, I figured for the price it was worth a shot, so I went for it. First thing I did out of the box was upgrade the firmware.
Installation into the Equinox took me a couple of hours (had to make it look flawless) but went smoothly. My wife loves it, and she has had zero issues with freeze-up or anything for that matter.
I liked it so much I bought myself one. :-) The features are very easy to use, the display is easy to read, and adding a 2 GB Mini-SD card really ramped it up a notch. The pause and play feature is awesome, allowing you to pause for almost 2 hours (with the 2GB Mini-SD installed,) then skip from song to song simply by pressing the right arrow. I love the ability to use the unit in either a vertical or horizontal position. In my Trailblazer I mounted it horizontal, while in my wife's Equinox, it is vertical. Either way the display is easy to read.
I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Unit has a glitch or something from time to time it will lock up and render itself useless. Will never buy another Delphi product.

XM Radio in 45 minutes self-install! |

So far so good. I just set up my radio this weekend in 45 minutes. I have an integrated xm radio in my other car and the quality is just as good. I enjoy recording the content into the internal memory and if needed I can listen through the memory card slot. I am impressed with the ease of use and remote. The reason I gave it 4 stars, is because they need to come up with a better way to attach the device onto the dash.

I am impressed with the quality and features of my SKYFi3. Carpooling with someone that has an old Sirius system, I was not expecting much. I love the fact that I can record to a miniSD card and use it as an MP3 player. I have a lot of playing around to do to figure out all it does but I don't recommend doing it while driving. It came with alot of accessories which allowed for easy installation. Drawbacks are: Finding a frequency to pair up with unit. Sure Connect did not work as well as I expected. I can't wait to get a head unit with direct input. Unit takes a long time to search formats (miniSD, MyMusic, Aux) before it eventually goes to LiveXM. Other than that I am very pleased.
