Delphi SKYFi2 SA10101 XM Radio

Pros: User friendly; bright display; remote control

Cons: need to purchase additional adapter; RCA to mini adapter cord very short; about 18".

The Bottom Line: I couldn't choose between XM or Sirius so i choose the best looking unit out there to help me decide. I'm glad i choose Delphi XM SkiFi 2.

Review: *******Update
It's been a few years now and this unit still kicks! Rock On!

I have been pondering the purchase of a satellite radio for almost a year now (styling was questionable for me), but once I saw the new Delphi XM SKYFi2, I...

Pros: Versatility, built-in FM modulator, TIVO-like pause and rewind functions, compatible with earlier SkyFi accessories.

Cons: Minimal. Mostly just small areas for improvement.

The Bottom Line: Good, versatile, nice looking satellite radio with some clever advanced features.

Review: Having owned both the predecessor SkiFi and this newer SkyFi2, I can say they are both reliable workhorse radios. The SkyFi2 adds some significant features over the original. Best is the built-in FM modulator, making it a cinch to install in a car...

Pros: Built-in FM transmitter, lots of options for hook-up, Well thought out design. Excellent satellite reception.

Cons: Transmitter sound quality not so good, inadequate transmission freq selection, XM service is disappointing.

The Bottom Line: Listen to the available stations first before buying. Use the optional in-line FM transmitter or direct input to your radio over the built in transmitter for better sound quality.

Review: I was pretty excited about getting satellite radio and getting away from commercials. I bought this unit used on ebay and saved over $100. I'm glad I did because now I'm going to sell it (because of the service not the receiver).

First...

Pros: Many great channels to chose from, live radio pause, memory, favorite band prompt.

Cons: Antenna very touchy. Remote not very effective. Unit difficult to get out of boombox cradle.

The Bottom Line: This is a definite must for those who enjoy music outside the mainstream or live in an area with extremely bad FM channels.

Review: I live in an area completely devoid of decent FM radio stations. This was a godsend for me and my eclectic taste in music. So many channels to choose from, but like satellite tv you will eventually find your favorites.

I got the XMSkyFi2...

Pros: Great little radio and well worth the price! I would highly recommend this radio!

Cons: Black & white screen; difficult to see even with the larger font option.

The Bottom Line: Easy to set up and use. Good price. FM modulator gives us music in every room!

Review: I bought the Delphi SkyFi2 back in February, 05. It was very easy to set up and we have enjoyed it ever since. We even took it up to our summer home a couple of weeks ago and it worked great there, too. Our summer home is in a very rural setting and...

Pros: XM service rocks

Cons: Second generation radios unreliable.

Review: Owned the original SkyFi receiver for 3 years, then it quit powering up in May, 2006. Since then, we are on our 5th SkyFi2 receiver, having had problems with ALL of them. We love the XM service, but these second generation radios seem to have major...

Pros: Fits nicely into my truck.

Cons: Doesn't fit as well in my car.

Review: I don't use the record feature, but I listen most everything, from talk to music. It is not as commercial free as they would like you to believe, but it is still way less than conventional radio. And NO static. I switch it back and forth between my...
