Installation is a breeze. Install the free XM SkyDock App on your iPod touch or iPhone directly from the Apple store, magnetically mount the antenna to your vehicle, plug the SkyDock into your vehicle's cigarette lighter power adapter, insert your iPod or iPhone and adjust to your liking.

Absolutely Impressed!!!5
Ok I must say I am extremely impressed With the XM Skydock. The install was easy, took about 20 minutes, 3 minutes was waiting for the area of the car I had to clean to dry. The only issue I ran into was I thought the cable that they give you that hooks up the receiver is short by about 6 inches (installed on a 06 Honda Civic). Activating the radio itself was a breeze, i did it all on line and never had to talk to a human which I enjoy. But if you have to speak to someone, it will be Bob from India. The sound quality of the radio was far beyond what I was expecting, it was crisp and clear, sounded just as good as music from my iPod. The app for the iPhone is perfect, you can tell they took the time to do it right the first time. Listened to it for the past two days and found no glitches or bugs in it yet, its absolutely beautiful. Overall I am pleased with this radio and would recommend it to anyone.

SkyDock is fantastic!!5
I bought the SkyDock at BB last week and I love it! Sirius XM really did a good job with this. It was a breeze to setup. Just plug it in the cig adapter (it fits VERY snuggly) and plug in the antenna. Download the SkyDock app from the app store and call/go online to activate your subscription. Even before you activate, you can still use the SkyDock to listen to your mp3s or stream music from any other music app. When I first saw pictures of the SkyDock I thought the stalk looked a little odd and might be flimsy. But it's very sturdy and works great to let you position your device exactly where you want it. The new "PowerConnect" FM transmitter sounds very good and makes installation much simpler than other sat rad devices. I no longer have to have the extra SureConnect wires in the car that I was using with my XMp3. Of course if you have an aux in in your car that's going to give you better sound than using the FM transmitter. As for the app, it is extremely well designed and very intuitive. It's very easy to flip through categories, channels and select favorites while driving. There isn't a "scan" feature which would be nice, but it doesn't take long to figure out where to swipe and touch without looking (keep your eyes on the road!) to do your own channel scanning. Sirius obviously spent a lot of time designing and testing this. It's nearly perfect for a v1.0 app. This is an amazing device! Thank you Sirius XM!!!

XM SkyDock is a winner5
I just got my SkyDock today from the BestBuy in my neighborhood. First, I was looking for a way to eliminate some radio subscriptions. Second, I was looking for portability. The SkyDock is the answer.

Here's an additional extra they don't promote:

Using the wireless FM transmitter built in, I was able to transmit not only my XM radio, but also the songs on my iPod as well, including my podcasts. I switched to the internet version of the XM app, and it streamed over FM as well. Same with Pandora, Slacker, etc. I hope this doesn't change with any firmware or software upgrades. It's a nice feature. Of course, this only works with the iPhone, since you get unlimited data with that. iPod users, sorry.

That's a big plus for me, as I can now run an independent AUX cable from the back of my radio to the unit, and get full sound for all my media.

Another revelation: As long as your iPhone or iPod Touch is running firmware 3.0, you should be good to use this. The online listings say only iPhone 3G and 3GS are compatible, but the in-box instructions say otherwise.

My only gripe is that the neck is a little short. Some cars have an easily accessible DC power outlet where this wouldn't be a problem, but thanks to Honda, I have to twist the neck a little to get it just right.

So far, so good.
