Customer Reviews

Good overall, but
The kit itself is simple to install and setup took only a few minutes. However, the FM transmitter on the unit is not as good as previous units I've had as it only goes down to 88.1. I live near D.C. and it is almost impossible to find a frequency without something being transmitted on it. My old unit transmitted down to the low 87's and I had no trouble tuning in. It also seems like the transmitter is too week to transmit over even partial signals (a guess a compromise for the small size of it). So I ordered the FM Direct Adapter to see if that helps. It would have been nice if Sirius had included this in their car kit as anybody that lives near a city is likely to need it.

A Good Moderately-Priced Unit
This is a great starter kit for those new to Sirius like me. Setup was very easy and seems like it will stick to the dash for years. It does not come with a remote, which is fine if you're typically alone or driving with someone in the passenger's side. If you have a larger car, you might want to spring for the one that comes with it. The display is on the small side, which is why I'm giving this 4 stars. The size of the unit overall makes it easy to fit in your pocket or purse when it's not being used.

Good starter unit
The Stratus is a decent unit if you want satellite radio but don't want to spend money on an expensive receiver. The sound quality is good, reception is good (I connected it to my car's stereo through the line out and the AUX jack on my Pioneer head unit), and the menus and channels are easy to navigate. It was also relatively easy to install. The only gripe I have is that some of the buttons feel a little mushy and require extra pressure to register that you pushed them.
