5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, easy to use, love Sirius, August 17, 2005

This is a great receiver. There are some others out there that are smaller but aren't as easy to use and don't have the clear text that the Audiovox has. I looked at the XACT and the Star Dock before buying this unit. The other units didn't have direct track access (they only have preset buttons 1-6) so imagine scrolling through 120+ channels to get the one you want. There are 10 buttons to select from on the Audiovox. The can be used for presets or for direct channel access (just press the dial first). The Audiovox also has a bigger screen with four lines of text.

I also really like the quality of the Sirius service. I've listened to XM before and the quality just isn't as good. Being able to listen to my school's college football games is a great bonus.

Highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Reception, November 23, 2007

I purchased this item primarily because I knew it matched up well with a particular Motorcycle mount I was buying. After receiving the purchase, I activated the unit and could not get a consistant signal. The antenna was always disabled and searching for a signal. Before returning it, I purchased a sirius system and it worked perfectly. I, then was sure I had a defective unit. I must say, Amazon was great in allowing me to return the unit, even though it was past the 14 day return period of the company that shipped it to me. I was greatly pleased in Amazon's coorporation with me and I will continue to purchase from them. In all the times I've bought from Amazon, this is the first time I had a problem at all. Thank you Amazon for your assistance. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

I have had sirius for two years, and have two friends that I give 3 subscriptions to as gifts (each additonal subscriptin is about 8 dollar a month) - they all love them. I have a life time subscription. My original audiovox got ripped off, so I needed to get it replaced - and they don't hold it as one of the three changes in radios I am allowed. For the money, the third version of the Autiovox is best - it gives good fm transmistion that has had to be toned down per the FCC in other models. Unless you want to record the shows with protable models that are more expensive, this is the way to go. Sirius content is better than xm - esp. if you love nfl football, nba basketball, etc.
