Customer Reviews

Great music. Needs improvement
We go on road trips a lot and I wanted satellite radio for those parts of the country where radio reception is sparse. This works very well for that purpose. I love the fact that we now can listen to dedicated children's programming like Radio Disney. I only have a few problems with this unit.

I wish there weren't so many gosh darned wires. I understand that if I followed instructions for fully installing the unit, I would not see all the wires, but I am just not that savvy and my husband forbade me to try. I would like it to have a built-in wireless FM modulator, which would help with the wire clutter.

The dash mount came with something to prepare the dash with and a mounting tape square. It lasted longer on the dash than I ever hoped for; but in the summer heat, when the car can get over 120 degrees, the adhesive eventually came unglued and the mount fell off. I was impressed that the adhesive did not leave a residue.

XM Radio merged with Sirius and now my radio has this annoying beep every so often. It seems completely random, at which point the screen will display the Sirius website address. It is sooo annoying. If anyone knows how to get this to stop, I'll be forever grateful. Phooey on that Sirius for messing up my pleasant radio listening days.

I find the controls less than completely intuitive. I can get the basics, like tuning to the proper channels and setting each numbered button to a favorite station. The fact that there are 3 preset arrangements of channels just makes it harder for less tech savvy people. If I flipped it from Preset A to Preset B, I think my husband would have a fit. Other features, I haven't explored, because it just looks too complicated.

I am happy with the Xpress for the variety of music I can now receive anywhere we go. If they could make it with a wireless FM modulator, no annoying beeps, a better dash mount and more intuitive controls, I could be in heaven.

great product
XM receiver and car kit are even nicer than I expected. One small part was missing and it is being sent to me in a timely manner.
