It works well. Knob control is useful.
Pros: Easy to figure out if you have any exposure to XM radios and the logic of their setups. Easy to "flip" between two channels without looking.
Cons: None, really.

Great way to get XM radio at a reasonable price.
Pros: Easy to use. Easy to setup in just about any vehicle. Didn't take much time to learn all features. Convenient favorite-channels function. Good reception. External dock can be bought for home use. Just unplug the unit itself, and plug it in your dock.
Cons: No built-in battery. Wish it had more than 10 favorite-channel pre-sets.
It seems to be well-built and hardy, able to withstand some pretty extreme car temperatures.
The only thing that I would have changed are the amount of favorites that you can program into it. It has 10, which seems like plenty until you peruse through the excellent diversity of channels that XM has. This is a very small complaint. Everything else from price to quality has impressed me.
I spend alot of time in the car, and I must say that the ability to flip from favorite channel to favorite channel leaves the user constantly entertained. If you don't like something, just flip the channel.
Would definetly recommend this product. Unless you absolutely demand the bells and whistles (such as MP3 player, etc) I would say this is a must-have for someone looking to get into the wide world of XM radio.

Not bad radio for da money just get the sureconnect kit
Pros: Small and compact, easy to take in the car or in the house.
Cons: The radio its self, has really bad reception so if you get it. make sure you buy the sureconnect kit and it will make the reception 100% clear. Dont really care for the dial on it, b/c you cant see who sang/ radio station & category at the same time.

Complicated installation, poor reception and fidelity.
Pros: Small. Easy to tune to desired XM station.
Cons: Poor interface with car audio system. Connection is through the antenna and use of an available FM frequency. The fidelity is nonexistent and the reception hisses and crackles on the "best" FM frequency.
