Review on Enhance your in-car entertainment with Audiovox Sirius ST5TK1R Starmate Plug and Play Vehicle Kit by Scott Rose

Revainrating 4 out of 5

One thing is missing. in Car Audio

Actually two things, but there is nothing to change about one. When SAT radio first started, small receivers had powerful FM transmitters to relay the signal from the small SAT receiver to car FM radio or home radio. I have an older one that sends a signal through my whole house. The FCC required devices to be turned off. What is missing is the BACK button. This radio features S-SEEK. When listening to music or other programs, you can set FAVORITES and receive a notification every time an artist appears on the SAT. It has 30 preset settings and is easy to use even while driving. It's a little frustrating to "browse" and find something interesting, get an S-SEEK notification, leave your channel to listen to your favorite, and then not be able to get back to it. A BACK button would be very helpful. Since installation, the receiver has been working perfectly and there have been no problems. I recommend it and can say that based on my experience with 4 different receivers, the newer one isn't necessarily better. ESPECIALLY if you are new to the service, pay attention to the price. ENSURE you have one with FM OUT so you can feed the now much weaker signal directly into your antenna line as well as into the S-SEEK. It is very convenient when travelling. Sometimes on 4 or 5 hour drives I can go from one S-SEEK alert to the next without having to search for something to listen to.
