Wired or not? The very best in car electronics

Revain's product review for this radio states that "you need to plug it into your stereo console" and that it "includes a built in FM transmitter that broadcasts programming Sirius radio to your car's FM tuner, so you don't have to connect directly." What he?

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Would I buy again for cars and car electronics

I was very satisfied with this article when I received it. I was a bit wary when ordering simply because it's an old model, but it was new and exactly as described by the seller. I received the radio as promised, the price was fair and overall I am happy with the service and purchase :-)

Pros
  • hands-free operation
Cons
  • for a long time

Lying about delivery time -- Bought by someone

The seller misled me about the delivery time. It took over 2 weeks for my order to be processed but I still haven't received the item. Ignore their "Shipping Estimate" because it means nothing. Do yourself a favor and do business elsewhere.

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

Radio without advertising rules!

I wasn't interested in this product at first but got it 'free' with a DirecTV subscription just before Christmas 2007. After two weeks of use, I really liked the programming. and signal quality and NO ADVERTISING! I'm looking forward to the football season and the many game broadcasts from all over the country! I installed it in my car with the built in FM transmitter function (I tune my FM radio and Sirius FM transmitter to an unused station). .) I originally installed the Sirius antenna on…

Pros
  • Great Selection
Cons
  • Contact Seller

No complaints here; I like it!

This is a Christmas present for my wife. I bought it to see how things would go (maintenance, installation and Sirius prices), well I'm happy with that. You have conquered me. I like SV2 for its simplicity and ease of use. My wife doesn't complain; She spends more time in the car than I do, so it's worth it. I'm thinking about taking this SV2 and upgrading to another model. Folks, you can't go wrong here.

Pros
  • Decodes digital quality signals for over 130 music, news and sports channels.
Cons
  • No paint required.

Great Product: Car Audio

Both other reviewers did not rate the product. They appreciated the Amazon service. The product is excellent for its price. It can be connected to the built-in FM transmitter or directly to the headphone jack (which does not contain a cable and requires an additional input for your car). Both work well, the sound is crystal clear. The missing features are a basic indoor plug-in (no compatible radio) and no fast forward and rewind, but both aren't just necessary for in-car use.

Pros
  • Easy to read 3 line display; 10 preset stations; One touch jump button
Cons
  • sad packaging

Loss of power

This is my third SiriusXM car kit and will work with older and discontinued InV radios. Sirius is an expensive investment, but well worth it if you enjoy commercial free radio in your favorite genre. However, this particular kit was disappointing as the power supply was broken! How should I power my radio without a power supply? Luckily I used my SiriusXM home adapter and travel power converter to get it working. Next time, be sure to add that information to the description, or at least drop…

Pros
  • Easy to use and affordable Sirius satellite radio with car kit
Cons
  • Weight
