Only two cents on car electronics

In the moment there are over 1800 reviews so my opinion probably won't matter much. But here is my experience. Installation was easy. The placement of the antenna is crucial. Depending on where you are in the US, your results may vary widely. First I mounted the antenna next to the A-pillar on the dashboard. Signal strength was weak and reception was very poor. Then I positioned the center line of the antenna and the results were worse. On the way north I couldn't get any signal at all. And the

Seattle area radio stations will be TERRIBLE

Seattle area radio stations sound TERRIBLE. I bought this unit with the Pioneer AVHS3800BT. Couldn't work better. Since it was raining in my area, I hesitantly fumbled with the door seals when laying the antenna cable. After doing some research I decided to try my luck by installing an antenna on the dashboard. I used the thin metal plate that came with the Inferno cell phone mounting kit and some 3M UHB tape to attach the plate to the dash between the wiper arms. Pointed the car south and BAM!

Use with Sony XAV-AX1000 Main Unit

Working properly. I attached the antenna to the dashboard on a magnetic plate (the plate is made of steel and designed for mobile phone magnetic inserts). While driving I have some fallout so I need to look for ways to solve this problem. As for the sound quality, I'm impressed. The quality of the music is like a good FM. I was expecting something more impressive. (My USB stick playing on the same main unit sounds great.) But everything works and the unit was easy to install. Now you have to…

This is why SiriusXM has a bad reputation!

Works fine but one day when I was booting up the main unit I got a message saying I need to check the tuner connection because SiriusXM is not receiving a signal. After trying multiple times to switch radio bands, I couldn't get SiriusXM to work. I got to the place, turned off the car and started it again. This time the Pioneer radio should boot up correctly and SiriusXM should display and function properly. This is where the old adage comes in: if the computer isn't working properly, restart…

Pros
  • Includes SXV300 tuner and magnetic antenna
Cons
  • Almost OK

Easy connection in car radio

Receiver works well. Easy connection. Take your time placing/installing antennas. Although I know that the manufacturer "suggests" where to place the antennas (the roof), I decided to try something simple first that had worked so far. I have an old Camry 4-Dr Sedan with a relatively flat trunk lid that I decided to mount the antennas on. I placed the antennas in the center of the trunk lid at the point closest to the rear window with the wiring facing the rear window. I routed the wiring under…

SXV300v1 In-car installation to avoid signal dropouts

I installed it behind a Pioneer AVH-X1800S head unit. The antenna mounts INSIDE the vehicle on top of the dashboard and provides an unobstructed view through the windshield. Initially, I simply used double-sided tape on the back of the antenna to secure it to the dash (like I used to do with the aftermarket SXM adapter for the OEM radio). I've experienced some signal dropouts and blind spots. This was fixed by removing the SXM antenna from the dash, then first installing the sticky metal…

Pros
  • The compact size of this SiriusXM autotuner hides discreetly behind the dash for a fully integrated look. An interface cable connection to a SiriusXM enabled car stereo makes installation easier
Cons
  • Not sure

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…

  • Hear exclusive entertainment only available on SiriusXM such as Howard Stern, Today Show Radio, Fox News, CNN and Kidz Bop Radio. Plus live sports from the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, top collegiate sports and NASCAR races.
