It was very easy to install and use. I have it set up with my home stereo but I can hook it into a boom box or any FM radio. The best part is having the ability to move it from car (Ihave a car kit) to home easily and you don't need two accounts.

The home kit has everything you need to use your Roady XT in --- you guessed it -- your home! Now you can pump all of XM's music through your home stereo.

The base is actually fairly heavy for it's size, which is good - you can actually press the buttons on the unit without pushing it off of whatever you have it on.

The remote is great... I usually take it in the car so that I can switch stations without taking my hand off the gear shift ;-) Also it makes it easier to give control of the radio over to a passenger, even if they are in the backseat.

this is a great system for any work area. great variety of music and VERY easy to hook up to an existing speaker system. great buy. easy to use.

I was stringing the antenna/cable up to the attic and set it down on the central AC unit. I went back downstairs to get a few more tools so I could finish off the antenna installation. My plan was to drill a hole through an attic wall that would give me access to the southwest sky. Before going back up in the attic I stopped and plugged the cable into the unit. I had FULL strength reception and the antenna was just lying in the attic without any windows. I went upstairs, attached the antenna to the nearest stud and haven't looked back. In south Louisiana, when the thunderstorms builtup, we used to lose TV satellite on a regular basis. We have gone to cable after losing TV signal 100's of times. But our Roady with its antenna in the attic hasn't lost signal once.

I purchased the Delphi Roady Car Kit from a website that had it at a crazy price...$5.99 !! With a 3 month family package at $20.00 a month. Total cost with shipping and handling...$51.53. I searched for the Home Kit in the stores in my area, but with no luck. Then I though...AMAZON !!! Total cost with shipping and handling...$28 and some change. Hooked the home kit to my stero, wait for the radio to update, about 1 hour, and I was then in business. Now, I want to be able to record from the player to an another device, on a timer fro when I am out of the house. I'm an electronic freak, so I give this hardware a 10 !! Set up was easy, learning the hardware's function was easy also.

This Home Kit does as advertised and it does connect your Delphi radio to your home stereo or any speaker combination. Everything works well and the connection is easy. If you are changing from a Sirius setup to an XM setup then you do not even have to change antennas. Just plug in the old one. The only improvement that I would make would to have included the ability to broadcast the radio signal wirelessly around the house, over an FM frequency, just like the auto unit and the Sirius home dock do.

Excellent Antenna. The power supply is something the receiver should have come with from the beginning. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the remote... maybe people who bother to remember what all the channels are and how to use the silly thing will have better results- I'm probably just too impatient.

The unit works great,I can hear non stop music in my house and car. Instruction were clear and it worked the first time. Larry

The Roadie XT home kit was extremely easy to install, and the reception is outstanding. I simply placed the antenna near a south-facing window, kicked back in my recliner and started enjoying superb sound through my audio system. Highly recommended.

Easy set up and the high-gain antenna gets perfect reception when place 15' from a south-facing window.
