"Great until it stopped working.. now I am XM-less!!"
Pros: Everything you read in the editor's review is spot on.
Cons: Two defective units.... I'm done with Delphi!
Summary: Had the Myfi for 2 years, loved it, it died. Bought the SkyFi3 and thought it was 'flimsy' compared to the rugged MyFi but thought I'd give it a try. First unit I received had very outdated firmware. Couldn't get the firmware updated and couldn't use the info extra feature (sports scores and such). Returned/replaced that unit with a new one. Worked great for 2 weeks then started wigging out. First it would come on and lock up on the checking media screen. Had to wait for the battery to die before it turned off. Recharged it and got it working again until I stopped to get gas the other day. Turned the car off, which turned the radio off. Turned the car on, have never been able to turn the Skyfi3 back on again. Amazon told me it is a widespread problem and won't give me another one as a replacement. So can anyone recommend a decent comparable XM radio????

In the trouble shooting area under 'controls still do not respond' it tells you to hit the mode and volume button. This resets the machine. Takes like 10 seconds to reboot and everything works fine. I have had my SkyFi3 for a week and it has locked up twice. Both times I reset it and it works fine. You don't loose any music, playlists, or settings.

I just received my skifi3 less than one week ago and I unplugged the power to move it to a more convienent location in my car. When I plugged it back in it powered up and immediately powered itself back off and now.... nothing
