Lots of good stuff for car electronics

My husband had another Sirius receiver which he has changed at least 8 times because of the screen. He finally gave up and we tried this one. So far so good, but only for a few months. FYI, no remote control is included, but you can purchase one. I went to another website to buy it but some of them are listed here in Revain.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Hard to say

Didn't take it! on Autosound

I bought it for my husband when he is away. Died completely within 3 months. It worked great at first, but now it's broken. Called Sirius who will replace the unit under warranty but refuses to pay for shipping to return the FUBR unit. A credit card is also required to guarantee the return of the old device. Not happy with Sirius but still love Amazon.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Update possibility

The radio works fine. for Car Electronics

I bought this radio specifically to use the SiriusXM Al a Cart package. The product description states that it is the SST8V1 model. I received the model SST8V1B. I couldn't select an Al a Cart package online and of course I put off calling SiriusXM until today. SiriusXM informs me that this model that I received cannot receive the Al a Cart package. I want the product description (e.g. model number) to be correct to avoid such disappointment! The product was sold to me on February 2nd, 2015 by…

Pros
  • I Hold My Fists
Cons
  • Very Expensive

A lightweight radio, but easy to use and with great features.

Bought this radio for my wife who works in an office where the radio tells the time! Highly recommended to anyone interested in Sirius radio. I've done my research and the button functions and settings make this the most affordable yet highest quality radio on the market. I turned it on, the user friendly navigation allowed me to pass information to Sirius and they set me up within minutes. This radio also supports an Γ  la carte menu/program to allow you to select your station when you first…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Just a regular radio with a lot of features missing

I have had Sirius Radio for a little over 6 years. My first radio was the Sportster Replay. Although the light went out within the first 2 years and some buttons stopped working after about 3 years, it worked well for most of those 6 years. It had great features. Sports team notifications, 30 presets, favorite song notifications, etc. However, since Sirius took over XM, it has become painfully clear that almost ALL effort has gone into cutting-edge technology for XM. I was shocked to find that…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some cons

The Sirius receiver doesn't want you to know about

I bought a Starmate 8 a few months ago and I'm pleasantly surprised. It works well and does what it's supposed to. For background purposes I started with the Starmate 2 and then had terrible experiences with several other Starmate receivers. My take on Sirius is that I love their product but hate their hardware. This receiver is the best since my first Starmate 2. The Starmate 8 has 30 minutes playback (up from 58 minutes to 2) and 10 preset stations (up from 30 to 2). Downgrades, of course…

  • . Finally Bought

satellite radio the best

As always, Revain fulfills orders quickly and efficiently. Parcel received quickly and well packaged. They always have what I need at a much better price than anyone else. The satellite radio is beautifully designed and I love the color screen. It has all the features of my sportster 4 including rewind, pause, sports team alerts and song alerts. I only have two complaints. There is no remote control included, making it easier to use in the car instead of looking at the radio while driving. All…

  • A Dream Come True
