Delphi Roady2 SA10085 XM Radio Receiver with Car Kit

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, good entry level product.
Cons: Lacks sound quality, wires, small buttons, presets are cumbersome to use.

I hate to drive. That's why I work only 4 miles from home or actually work at home. That was until I made the huge mistake of volunteering to fill in for a friend for one day down at our customer's site about 20 miles away. Well apparently they either ...

Pros: Fairly easy to move around from car to home to car to home to...
Cons: Ergonomics are iffy, sound quality is disappointing, esp. with the FM modulator

I should start by pointing out that this is my first satellite radio, so I don't have anything to compare it to... But I imagine I am in good company as most buyers of this unit are first-time buyers. I purchased this radio and got the XM ...

Pros: Cheap and easy to install.
Cons: Wires everywhere, can be difficult to use while driving.

Let if first be said that I am a dedicated customer of XM Radio. I signed up the first year the product became available and I've been gleefully satisfied with the amazing variety the service offers. I wish I could say the same for the methods of ...

Pros: Great Small Design, good features for a good price.
Cons: Channel wheel is a little flimsy.

The Roady2 (R2 from now on) is the new bare bones plug and play device for XM Satellite Radio. For those of you who dont know what satellite radio is, let me give you a brief description. It is a monthly pay service that gives you access to around ...

Pros: Affordable, excellent reception, easily self-installable
Cons: Small interface buttons, 2-line display screen (as opposed to 3 or 5)

As someone who didn't normally listen to the radio when I was in my car to begin with (usually just listen to CDs or my iPod), I wasn't sure how much I would really enjoy having satellite radio. Part of the reason I did not like listening to the radio ...

Pros: Small, Light weight, and easy to read display even in bright conditions.
Cons: It gets warm when left on awhile.

This is an excellent radio if you have not jumped in the water yet and got satellite radio. The built in wireless FM modulator removes the bulky add-on the old Roady had. The Roady2 is also much smaller in size than the roady... Not that it wasn't ...

Pros: portability, price, activation service, strong signals
Cons: not as good quality, other stations can bleed through

Finally, I have decided to take the plunge into subscribing to satellite radio. Currently, I commute an hour each way to work, and rely on the radio to provide me with good music as I travel 50 miles to my work destination. However, the radio stations ...

Pros: Small, portable, easy to use and set preferences
Cons: No volume knob on radio (but there is a work around)

First, let me preface this review by saying that it is written primarily for the motorcyclist in mind but there are parts that apply to everyone. I have been riding motorcycles for 5 years. I spend a lot of time riding. I'm a music person as well ...

Pros: small and cute with a built in fm modulator
Cons: might be too small for clumsier hands and fingers..

...if you have been thinking about XM...go for it...this unit is nice and small...now a bit too small if your a big guy with big hands...you will wind up fumbling with the scroll wheel...the reception here at Fort Bragg, NC is great but it does cut out ...

Pros: Portability, music variety.
Cons: Hassle to adjust while driving.

I bought this unit at a healthy discount from Best Buy just before the Christmas holidays 2004. I'm driving a 2004 RX-8, so my stereo upgrade options are limited: the sound system is integrated with the climate controls. The FM-modulated and very ...

Pros: Great sound, small size, attractive, full-featured!
Cons: None worth mentioning

I bought my Roady 2 recently on eBay and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It is exactly what I wanted (small, portable, good features, and attractive) and nothing I dislike. The display is large given the unit's compact size, it has ten preset ...

Pros: Easy Installation Works with existing car radio Home Kit available
Cons: Occasional signal dropout (underpass, tall trees). Receiver generates a little heat.

I must admit that I'm a news junkie. I also have an hour long commute to the office. Satellite radio began to look like a great alternative to the frustration of poor AM radio reception (My local news station is on AM.) and endess commercials. I ...

Pros: VERY PORTABLE. No special cradle required like the Skyfi.
Cons: Nonergonomic design. I hate the 'rotory' knob. Limited Display. The wireless remote solves that.

One of the reasons I like the Roady2 is b/c you only have to use three plugs; a standard power plug, a standard antenna plug, and a standard mini-stereo plug. This allows you to get away with not needing a "kit" The only drawback is there's three plugs ...

Pros: Huge variety of stations, great for the commuter. Easy to operate.
Cons: Mediocre sound, no ac adapter for home use.

Introduction This is my first and only satellite radio. I got it based on listening to a colleague's Roady2 all the way up on a business trip of 2 hours, and I decided I had to have it myself. I'm in the financial industry, and the availability of ...

Pros: Programming, Portable between autos and home without extra purchase, and signal strenght
Cons: Durabilty, buy the extra warranty.

This unit works very well most of the time. When I bought the Roady2 at Circuit City I purched the 2 year service plan since I had such issues with my Sirius H2A. Good thing because teh first one broke after only a couple of months. Clarity of ...
