This receiver comes with a home kit that includes a docking station, antenna, RCA cables, wireless remote, and AD adaptor that will bring XM radio right into your living room. Toss in the vehicle docking station, antenna, and 12-volt DC power converter, and you've got XM on four wheels. Pioneer doesn't stop there, though. With a set of stereo headphones, a rechargeable battery (up to five ours of use), and belt clip, you'll be tuning into the satellite airwaves anywhere your feet might take you.
The built-in memory effortlessly records and stores up to five hours of broadcasting. With this feature you never miss your favorite broadcast. The built-in FM transmitter enables your XM2go radio to play through any car stereo, home stereo, or boom box with a simple frequency tune. And, of course, no XM receiver would be complete without an informative LCD display that shows channel, artist, and song information, as well as personalized stock ticker and sports scores. All of this functionality is at your fingertips with the easy-to-use numeric keypad and scroll wheel. Add 30 presets and you've got one-touch tuning to your favorite channels.
The AirWare XM2go is the perfect introduction to XM satellite radio. It's portable, easy-to-use and requires no special installation. Listen to music, sports, talk, comedy, drama, news and kids programming, from coast to coast.

Great product ... don't hesitate if considering getting one !,
This review is from: Pioneer Airware MyFi XM Portable Satellite Radio (Electronics)
I don't normally submit "product opinions" (I know, shame on me) but this portable XM radio from Pioneer is so good that I felt that I had to. I had been considering getting some kind of a satellite radio for my car for more than 6 months and when I found out that a friend of mine had a Delphi XM unit in his car I knew that the time had come to finally make a move :-)
I was thinking of getting a Delphi MyFi but then discovered that the Pioneer AirWare had recently hit the store shelves. I like the Pioneer brand and also liked the looks (and controls) of the Pioneer unit more than those of the MyFi .. so I picked up an AirWare at the local Circuit City (can get it cheaper elsewhere for sure). I have had it for 3 weeks now and during this time have used it EXTENSIVELY in the car, in my home office and also on business trips. It works great ! I am especially impressed by the effectiveness of the built-in FM transmitter ... I have used a few built-in and external FM transmitters in my time over the past few years but haven't had much luck with them (too much interference from other radio stations). I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved) to discover that the AirWare's transmitter is VERY effective ... I have been driving around the Connecticut/ Westchester County/NYC/Long Island region quite a bit since I got it, without having to switch FM frequencies at all ! The features and sound quality of the unit are great. It is very useful that you can record up to 5 hours of audio (via a "scheduled record" function) that you can then listen to offline when the satellite reception is not up to snuff. Another neat feature is that if you hear a song or artist that you like, you can press a button and from then on whenever that same song or artist is playing on any of the 150+ channels the unit beeps and displays a message so that, if you want, you can press the same button and the unit automatically switches to the relevant channel. The AirWare comes with everything that you neeed to set it up at home or in a car. When using the AirWare in my car I use the "vent mount" to secure it (in its cradle) to an air vent. I have the antenna magnetically-mounted outside on the front part of the car roof. On some of the more tree-lined roads of Connecticut, satellite reception can sometimes be spotty ... you need to have line-of-sight to the XM satellites which are positioned in the southern sky .. but generally reception is very good. All-in-all I am very happy that I got it ... it is a very, very well designed and executed product ... plus the breadth and quality of the XM programming is great. In summary I can heartily recommend both the Pioneer AirWare and the XM service !

Great Receiver!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pioneer Airware MyFi XM Portable Satellite Radio (Electronics)
I went with the XM2GO because I have 3 cars and one house and I want XM in them all without buying a subscription for 4 radios. Works great with the one obvious downside being sometimes I am in car 2 and the radio is in car 1. Small trade off for me.
The radio itself works exactly as advertised. Home reception is great, car is very good. Walking around doesn't work too well as the internal antenna needs to face the southern sky. But if you are outside sitting in a chair sipping wine...this thing rocks. FM transmitter works great. XM Radio is in the house and I can pick it up on the FM radio in the garage while I work on the car. In the car it works just as well, but if you can use the cassette input thingy do, as the dynamic range will improve. One downside of the Pioneer is you cannot buy extra car or home kits at a reasonable price. Pioneer sells them but a kit costs almost as much as a radio. I ended up buying 2 more radios, pulling out the car kits then selling the radios (sans car kit) on eBay. BTW, there are 3 different manufacturers offering portable XM2GO radios. The guts are all made by the same Asian mfr so choose the one that you think has the best style and/or offers the best accessories.

Sweet Unit!,

This review is from: Pioneer Airware MyFi XM Portable Satellite Radio (Electronics)
This is my first time in the Satellite world. I love it! The unit is pretty easy to use, even though I am used to the MAC computer world. Though the built-in antenna is not always going to be work when walking around - my expectations were that applications like that was a hit or miss. The dock for the car and home are nice, and work well. I took the unit and home antenna to a hotel, placed the antenna near the window and no problem there. I had the antenna and car mount installed professionally, and I like the way it works. The five hour record feature is great when you want to listen to music, etc. and can't get satellite. No doubt traveling in a car and not having to mess with radio stations that go in and out is a pleasure.
