Review on SiriusXM SXV300V1 Connect Satellite Streaming by Ken Martinez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Misleading advertising, only works with expensive tariffs.

Okay, but I don't like misleading suggestions. Works 3 days before you have to register it. Adding it online didn't work, I had to call two different departments in India before they could hook it up and customer service is like a cable company again. Reception is much worse than the standalone unit I used with the docking station. Exactly the same machine, exactly the same place, same antenna. Now it turns off every time I drive past trees. Support says it doesn't work with cheaper a la carte subscriptions. When I tried to add it as a second account for $10.99 (advertised on the website) they said this device is not compatible with that plan. They said the subscription would cost $28.99. Wow! After some bullying I was able to sign up for a 6 month discount promotion but no doubt I will cancel it and throw it in the trash afterwards when their second radio subscription price adds $25+ per month to my account. It's a steal for the incredibly poor, over-compressed audio quality we're all used to.
