Amazon.com Product Description
Complete your Delphi SKYFi2 XM Satellite Radio receiver listening system with this tailor-made vehicle adapter kit. The base SKYFi2 receiver package (model SA10101) contains a receiver and a remote control. To install your SKYFi in a car, you need this, the SKYFi2 vehicle adaptor kit (model SA10102), which contains a vehicle cradle, a cassette adapter, an antenna, and a 12-volt power adapter.
The vehicle cradle holds your SKYFi receiver and provides connections for audio, power, and antenna cables. You should mount the antenna on the roof of your car or truck. The 12V power adapter plugs into your cigarette lighter and powers your SKYFi2 through the vehicle cradle.
The cassette adapter, meanwhile, lets you listen to XM right through your car stereo's cassette deck. The SKYFi2 receiver has a built-in wireless modulator so you can tune in XM programming on your FM radio, with slightly lower sound quality than you'd get using the cassette-shell adapter.
What's in the Box
Vehicle cradle, a small magnet-mounted vehicle antenna, a cassette adapter, a power adapter, and an installation guide.

XM for Motorcycle
The Delphi SA10102 SkiFi Vehicle Adapter
kit works well for motorcycle installation
also. I installed this on a Suzuki
Bergman 400. The SkiFi fits in the
glove box well. It adapts to a Bluetooth
transmitter also well. This transmits to
a bluetooth wireless receiver in my helmit.
I now enjoy XM on the motorcycle on the way
to work.
Don't use the cassette player
I've got two of these installed. I ran the first one through the cassette-tape adapter in my truck. I was dissatified with the sound quality, and a little ticked I'd paid for it. I ran the second one in my wife car and it doesn't have a cassette deck, so we direct-tuned an FM station to my SkyFi2. That sounds MUCH better (despite what the manual suggests). It's easy anyway, less wiring to hide.
These car kits are a little hard to install correctly. You have to be VERY careful with the antenna wire. If you twist it or pinch it too much it won't work. When installed correctly, the kit works great.
It Works
It works. It doesn't do anything more than it was made to do. Can't say much else about it. Delphi makes good radios but the accessories are cheaply made and they don't last long. I should have bought two of these. I'll be needing another one eventually. UPDATE (Nov. 18, 2007): The antenna connection has come loose and the unit will need replacing. Well, at least I got a year out of it.
