5.0 out of 5 stars Great unit at a great price, December 8, 2005

This review is from: Sirius ST2 Starmate Replay Satellite Radio with Car Kit (Electronics)

I got my Starmate Replay about a month ago. Since then, I only listen to "normal" radio when Howard Stern is on in the mornings. After that, it's Sirius all day long. Come January, I'll be saying goodbye to terrestrial radio.

The good:
The size of the unit makes it a breeze to install. I originally mounted it on my dash in front of my steering wheel where I could see it and access it easily. I used velcro for that install, but it didn't work out as nicely as I wanted. I solved that problem with a vehicle specific dash mount from Crutchfield. Best $35 I spent. The unit is now mounted just to the right of the factory radio and is out of the way, yet still very accessible. The remote is a good size without being too small. The buttons are well placed and it works good without having to point it directly at the unit. That said, I rarely use it. The unit is well within easy reach without taking my eyes off the road.

Bad:
I dont really have anything "bad" to say. The unit does get warm, but that seems to be an industry wide side effect. I keep the brightness and contrast at a minimum and that seems to keep the unit a tad cooler. I do not have a fear that the unit will overheat. It just doesn't get that hot.

Overall I'm very satisfied with this unit. So much so that I just bought another one as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1000 times better than original Starmate, April 4, 2006

I want to start out saying that I was leery about buying another Starmate radio, because my original was only a few months old and wouldn't play most of the time.
Well, I am SO glad I ditched it and bought this Starmate Replay. I live in Central New Jersey, and travel to South Jersey all the time. This radio has great reception- much better than the old version. I do not have to change the frequency when I travel into Philadelphia airwaves, and if I do, it can be done on the fly with the touch of a button. You can store up to 5 FM stations in the Replay, so you can switch without taking your eyes off the road.
I also like that I can tap a button and scroll through to see what artists or songs are playing while still listening to a station.
I was forever forgetting to turn the old one off, but this one can be set to turn off after 1 hour of inactivity. It will prompt you with a signal, and you can override it by hitting the main button.
I didn't think I would use the replay option- I thought of it as something guys would like for sports- but I use it all the time- I can run into a store and rewind back a favorite song or even rewind Howard if I miss something or can't believe what someone just said!
All in all, this radio is a great investment- I truly enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works Great and Love Sirius...but..., January 20, 2006

By 

VJ "VJ" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sirius ST2 Starmate Replay Satellite Radio with Car Kit (Electronics)

The screen now has 5 cracks in it and I can't read a thing.

The problem is this...I move the Starmate in between my home car and work almost on a daily basis.

The "stand" and the clip-on car holder are some of the worst designed accessories I have ever seen. The pressure it takes to clip it on and off is absurd. Not to mention the fact that the radio has NO CASE! There should be a hard-shelled case to slip the receiver in and out of.

Overall love the radio, but hate the lack of thought put into protecting it
