 XM SkyFiOct 21, 2009
It is great except it freezes up...literally, I cannot leave it in the car when it is cold out because it won't work the next morning. I have to unhook it every night and bring it in the house so that I can have music the next morning. Only down side to the thing.
 Freezes and won't updateSep 30, 2009
This must be a bad unit. It freezes in the car when I turn the car off. It then stays on (frozen) until the battery runs out. It was worse with the home kit. No sound on XM, just on recorded songs. Then it froze on a song recorded at home. I tried to update the firmware and it would not do that either.
nice unit , good featuresSep 07, 2009
I was initially baffled by signal strength-related issues until I researched that earlier generations of satellite radio modulators (including units I'd purchased in 2004) far exceeded FCC legal output power. The remedy was to remove my regular FM antenna and then this unit worked fine on the frequency I selected.
The display area is nice and large, the buttons well-placed and the ability to access pre-set channels is convenient. I also like the capability to record songs and then play them back, using the unit as a portable mp3 player. The unit has good features for the price.

I would like to rate this higher but the menu is not very user friendly. It doesn't respond to some of its own commands. For example you have to scroll through the channels and select each one you can't automatically switch to a channel. The XM Napster interface doesn't work worth beans. It is an execellent receiver and great for portability. I would rate it higher if the MP3 player part of it worked, but it is just too difficult to download music.

The Delphi receiver works best when utilizing both the antenna and satellite receivers. On occasion, the satellite radio goes completely out and takes 12 hrs to recover after shutting the car engine off. It's also irritating when it takes a long time to do a media check (15+ minutes).
