"Sometimes it is best not to listen to critics" on September 13, 2004

Pros: I got a great deal on this, incl car kit and home kit for $130. It is easy to use and is nice and compact. I really enjoy this product.

Cons: Remote could have been designed better.

"12 hour shifts go much faster now!" on March 19, 2003

Summary: As a police officer this radio makes a shift go by so much quicker. This is perfect because i can set it up in my polce car in about 30 seconds. I dont worry about cobering up the wires just plug it up and go catch bad guys.

"Puny display" on January 21, 2003

Summary: Try to read this display while you are driving... then again don't. Just got my Sony stolen. Funny thing is that the thief will never be able to activate. Go for one of the 2-piece units, check out the Pioneer. It appears to be more legible, and looks less like something that should be stolen by a non-tech-saavy thief.

"great radio, great service" on December 13, 2002

Summary: If you're looking at this receiver, you're probably asking yourself "Is XM really worth it?" And the answer is "defintely yes!" I've had it for about 6 months now and I can't imagine what I was doing without it. They've got great programming, almost no commercials, and endless variety. The one thing that made me feel secure when I bought this reciever was the price they're going for on Ebay. Even if you don't like the service, you can sell it again and get lots of your money back. I couln't imagine more of an incentive to give it a try...
