11 YEARS OF SERVICE good for car electronics

Somewhat surprised at the negative posts. my transceiver has been working daily since 5/5 and moved to my office over the weekend where the antenna is installed on the roof. The coaxial connector for the antenna wears out with movement and becomes a problem. The next step is to modify the connector with a flexible cable. UPDATE 09/04/2016/ Radio died today. I will buy another one, 11 years of service is beyond the norm. I like the wireless transmitter part, one less cable. .03c

Pros
  • good
Cons
  • not reliable

terrible customer service from xact

the device itself is fine. Phone support is another matter. Automated customer service makes it excruciatingly difficult to switch to the option to speak to a live representative, followed by a 30 minute wait when given the option to select a live representative. As I mentioned the radio works well and isn't a problem, but the navigation and customer service wait times make one wonder how xact supports their product and their customers.

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • no performance

Died two weeks later. for car sound

I liked this thing because of its small size and light price. Simple but effective. Then the problems started. The first thing that struck me is how hot this thing works. It would literally burn your hands. The signal was great, but after two weeks when I tried to turn it on it just went off and on again. Again and again. Suddenly it was just useless. I should have come here and read the other reviews first because Xact only releases a cheap product. Take care Thomas.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Appearance

It's not a Rolls, but neither is the price.

The radio itself is fine. I doubt there is anything better in this price range. Setup is very easy - I didn't even open the manual. The antenna is mounted on the back window of the car and I get a strong signal even on cloudy and rainy days here in western Massachusetts. The XTR8 is on the far right (passenger side). end of the dashboard, and the car radio antenna is mounted at the extreme rear end of the roof. FM modulator - 107.9 (nearest audible transmit signal - 106.9). Absolutely no…

Pros
  • glitters
Cons
  • There is interference
