 "Service O.K. But modulator is VERY weak." | 2008-08-25 |
| - Reviewed By alaska-island | |
| I purchased the newer model 'Roady' to replace the earlier model. This one has an extremely weak modulator which I need to find a remedy. The older model broadcast a decent signal that could be picked up within 50 feet on other radios and personal sound devices. This newer model broadcasts a signal about three inches. The plugs have changed and the older modulator cannot be used with the newer model Roady. Needless to say I am very disappointed in the performance so far. Pros- XM satellite signal has improved over the last year with out requesting the signal to be re sent to our receiver, which was a real pain. | |
 "Great Unit, But Hot and No Power..." | 2008-07-08 |
| - Reviewed By User: AVP1NL6GYMVR | |
| My title is kind of hard to understand, but hopefully I can make sense of it for you here. I love my Roady XT! I don't know how I've lived in rural America for all of these years without it. This little unit is easy to navigate, has some really neat features for the price and seems to work flawlessly when it has good satelite signal. My complaints are minor, but frustrating. The unit puts out tremendous heat when it is on. Almost to the point of being too hot to touch at times. Also, if you are planning on using this to transmit to your FM radio... forget it! If there is *any* interference from other things around you will be hard pressed to get a clear signal without using the "direct connect" (included) antennae. I have many friends that use different brands of Satellite radio recievers (most of them Sirius) that if you pull up beside them in your car and tune in to the same station they are using you will get a nice clear signal. That's impossible with this unit. If you plan to hook this directly to your car stereo or home stereo, it's awesome, but look elsewhere if you are going to use it as an FM broadcaster. | |
 "Great Performer" | 2007-09-30 |

| I was cautious about purchasing this XM receiver because it appeared so simple and plain in the photos. Don't let that fool you. It has more functionality than my factory XM unit. I found it easy to install myself. The hardest part is running and concealing the wires for the satellite and transmitter antennas and even that isn't very difficult. The kit is pretty complete. I did not use the direct connect because my older vehicle had no (IPOD) input. The kit also contains a cassette input, which I couldn't use either because my vehicle has no cassette deck. The FM method is pretty foolproof. The input connects to your vehicle antenna. I wish it simply went inline between the cable and radio. An inline connector is available, but is not included with the kit. The XM website links you to a site with suggested empty frequencies for your area, which is very useful. I printed several of them for my frequently traveled areas. It was easy to set up, had great reception and lots of info options. If you have ever installed your own aftermarket radio or add-on player installing it is a cinch. Beware that in traveling between highly populated areas with lots of FM broadcasters finding a blank frequency may be difficult and lead to some interference with the FM input. The best way would be an input jack if you have a newer vehicle. I highly recommend this receiver. I also bought a home kit to use this with my second and third home stereos which are not cable connected. Again reception and installation were great. The range on the remote is somewhat limited, but it works in the car for those who are interested. That option would be great for a motorhome user. | |
| "Pretty good satellite radio" | 2007-08-09 |

| This is my second satellite radio. My first one was stolen out of my car and I got this one because the xm radio website was having a replacement special on them. Here are my thoughts on it: Pros: I like the multitude of buttons on the device. Its pretty easy to navigate through the channels. I like that the color changes on the display so you can get it to match the color of your displays in your car. I like that it is easily transferable to a home kit. I have had better reception with this radio then my previous one(sportscaster). Cons: I don't like that you have to buy the remote separately. Thats pretty ridiculous. The standard mounts that come with the device are pretty cheap and worthless. I don't like that you have to use the cradle to hold the player. You cannot plug the power directly into the unit. You have to plug it into a cradle and then the device into the cradle. Notes and tips on installation: Since i didn't like the mounting options included with the radio, I purchased a vehicle specific mounting plate (available on the satellite radio superstore - run by xm radio) for ~$35. This has allowed me to have it mounted to the dash much more securely. Then i modified the vent clip mounting option to make the device mount flush to the new bracket. This looks really sharp. I ran the antenna to the outside (roof) of my jeep. The reception has been superb. I am using an open AUX rca jack in the back of my stereo to run the audio into the car. This works really well I also don't like having the power outlets taken up with plugs and such in my car. Thus i did something about it. I took off the dash board and wired another outlet inside of the dash. I wired this to the cigarette lighter power circuit (i dont smoke and dont ever use it anyway). You can get really nice splicing clips at advanced auto parts or the like to make this really easy. Then i ran a cheap power outlet (from one of those splitters you can get to add more plugs to your car). Then all the wires come out of a small slot and only about an inch of cable is visible for each of the three wires. I did have a significant amount of hissing and static as was indicated by another review. But this is common for pretty much any cigarette lighter powered electronic device. This is caused by a "Ground Loop". Basically it means that you have some mismatched circuits with different currents and one ground. But fortunately this has an easy fix. For $10 online or $20 at radio shack, you can get a "ground loop isolator." this will prevent the hissing and static. I have absolutely none in my system now. It sounds great. Overall, this is a pretty good product. I wouldn't pay the msrp of 70 dollars for it, but if you can get a 10 to 20 percent discount then i would recommend it. It certainly will work with out the stuff i did to install mine; however, i feel like mine looks pretty professional and didn't cost me more than 60 dollars in parts. | |
 "XM Satellite billing issues" | 2007-07-14 |
| - Reviewed By nw_dan | |
| I had read this earlier on posts regarding XM's billing practices but thought it was just that person's problem or misunderstanding. Unfortunatley, I was wrong. When you sign up for XM online you give over your credit card # which is then in their greedy little paws. After trying one of their radios for a few weeks I decided there were some good features but nothing worth keeping. I returned the radio to an area big box store w/o any issues. I had only paid for a 30 day subscription with my credit card but they continued to bill me. Links on the web site for unsubscribing lead to another page of links w/o telling you how to unsubscribe! When I called to find out why they were continuing to bill me one representative gave me a runaround saying that even though they could cease billing me they had to bill me as the radio had still been running (this is well over a month after returning it)!. Eventually they agreed to a partial refund even though I do not trust them to not bill again. For those who might say this is not about the equipment listed on Amazon, I believe it's impossible with satellite radio to unlink the radio programming or the billing issues from the equipment. This is not Amazon's fault, but I think consumers need to be warned. If you must try XM, I would highly recommend using a credit card that you add money to for any individual purchases not your usual purchases. I do not, however, think they're a very honest company. | |
| "Not Backwards Compatible" | 2007-07-12 |

| HA! We misplaced our Roady 2 somewhere at the hospital and no one returned it to lost and found. Our car has the Roady 2 Car kit installed by CarToys which cost $320 for installation. Unfortuantely, the Roady XT is not compatible with the prior car kits, which means we would have to pay for Roady 2 car kit removal and new Roady XT car kit installation, meaning a whole nother $320 or more. Something so trivial as this. Therefore we cannot use new technology... Our only economical choice is to be stuck in the past replacing the lost Roady 2 with another Roady 2. | |

| I have two of these and have no complaints. Big things in a little case. I was surprised to see how small this radio is. Smaller than the remote. Works best in car that has a cassette player.If you don't want to hard wire it.Lots of wires and things, power supply, antennae,and airvent holder. Never tried any other setup other than boom box. | |

| My wife bought this Roady XT for me last Christmas. If she had not bought it, I probably would never had bought one myself. There just seemed like there was something wrong with paying for radio. Boy, was I wrong! The XM subscription is worth it just for the sixties channel. Guess that shows my age. I can't imagine being without it. | |

| "LOVE XM! LOVE THE MUSIC!" | 2007-05-17 |
| - Reviewed By kmcruiser51 | |
| I got my XM Roady XT radio approx a year ago. I LOVE it and my family enjoys listening to commercial-free stations all the time. We like the Sports channels too, but the Music choices are outstanding! Even though this radio is mainly for auto use, I bought a Belkin Boombox Belkin F5X007 XM Audio System & keep my XM at home, for both inside and outdoor use. It's fun to jam in your yard while doing chores or relaxing. It's great for parties or winding down (depending on what type of music you prefer). The Belkin Boombox has quality speakers that make XM's reception sound clear & sharp. An XM Roady Radio is a definite must-have for music lovers! Very pleased with both items....LOVE IT! | |
