    I drive for a living, and my vehicle did not have a SiriusXM receiver. I found this unit on a Deal of the Day sale for only $15. Installation is fairly simple and fast. For best reception, the wired antenna unit must be installed on the roof of your vehicle and run in thru the door to plug into the unit. However, I have found that it usually works pretty well to just lay the antenna on my dashboard. No service is included, but inexpensive intro offer for the first six months is offered on the Sirius XM web site.

    Ok so I'm technically challenged. After all the years Sirius has been around you'd think they'd improve on their receiver. It more complicated than necessary. It's difficult to set frequencys is my biggest complaints. Its impossible to do when traveling and you don't know what ones are going to be open in any one place. Antenna wire is probably way too long, in my case anyway, it would be nice if there was some way to get rid of the extra 5 feet.. Audio wire need's to be jiggled every once in a while to restore connection. None of it seems to be made to last, cheap and flimsy. A bigger screen would be nice too. But, what do you do, if you want Sirius radio in a vehicle you don't have much if any choice. XM equiptment is slightly better but then you have to pay extra for some of the channels.

    I got a Sirius XM Satellite radio. It was on sale for $19.99. Well worth the price. I love it!!! I was tired of listening to all the garbage on the radio and I had rented a car over the summer that had Sirius XM radio. It was great. Didn't have to keep searching for something to listen to. Well worth it for me. I paid for a whole year in advance.

    Does what it should — however have had almost two years and after the first year the cords go wonkey. So have to move them a little each time I am listening to it. But can’t complain too much due to the pricing

    I love this radio. It is very easy to use in any vehicle. The best part is there is no wires to connect. It doesn't matter how new or old your car as long as you have a working stereo, the plug n play is perfect. I drive a truck all day and take it from my personal car and put it right into my work truck! and BOBBA BOUY TO YOU ALL!

    Great radio for the price, small and compact. The only problem is the mounting clips for the a/c vent don’t work for all cars. That’s only a minor problem so you might have to get creative where and how you mount it.

    Everything is great but the antenna connection goes out once in awhile. The power cord that plugs into the dock station in my truck has broke off the plug and had to be replaced.

    I purchased this radio to replace an older style radio. I like the price, but the lack of pause/replay function caused me to keep this radio in the car. Still works well.

    This is a great addition to my listening pleasure. The only slight problem I had was the antenna wire was a little loose and I kept loosing signal. I adjusted the prongs a lil bit and i havnt had a problem since.

    We got this at a great price and enjoy listening to commercial free radio. However, as others have mentioned, we noticed the unit and base do not make always make a good contact and that the antenna cable plug can disconnect with vehicle vibration.

    We love traveling with xm/sirus radio...no trying to find a station or driving out of range once you find one. This radio was perfect because we could take it into whatever car we decide to drive.

    This portable Sirius radio was on sale for $19.99; a very reasonable price for this radio. I'm very pleased with how the radio works and with the quick install into my vehicle. There was no added expense in installing the radio which made this purchase even better.

    This is a good product if you don't want to pay a lot of money to convert your car's internal radio to include XM/Sirius. My old radio died after 5 years and I was able to plug this into the carrier I already had and it came right up. I had an issue with customer service trying to get my lifetime subscription moved to this device..and paying a 75 dollar 'transfer fee'...which is more than the device. It also does not come with a remote control so changing channels is a chore and is best done while your vehicle is not moving for safety sake. Other than that, the display is clear and is well lit at night.

    My only complaint is that the auxiliary line in cord gets rattled loose from the dock. I used the vent install option. I have to push the connector back into the outlet with some frequency. Also, I would recommend professional installation of the antenna if you are not handy with cars. The reception was fine on a trip across several states that I made recently. It has also been excellent in my home town.

    I like being able to move the unit from vehicle to vehicle and a home docking station and only pay for one subscription. It works great for my application. I'm perfectly satisfied!
