The Delphi SKYFi2 XM Satellite Radio Receiver and Car Kit includes the SkyFi2 XM satellite radio receiver and the Delphi SA10102 Vehicle Kit, for a ready-to-go, XM satellite radio automobile package. Delphi's XM SkyFi2 Radio Receiver offers convenient plug-and-play XM Satellite Radio reception for the car, home, or office, including the first-ever pause and replay functions for satellite radio. Now you can pause or replay up to 30 minutes of live XM programming, and the SkyFi2 continuously and automatically saves the last 30 minutes of programming, including programming from multiple XM channels. The unit also offers a stock ticker, a sports-scores ticker, and a built-in wireless FM modulator, and a clock, among other features. Additional SkyFi2 features include a large scroll wheel and a convenient wireless remote control. You can navigate through direct-channel entry from both the receiver and the remote, and you can program up to 30 channel presets (10 more than the original SkyFi's 20) for one-button tuning to your station of choice. Also, the SkyFi2 adds something the original was missing: a stereo analog minijack (.125-inch) audio output for ready hookup with headphones or other audio equipment. SkyFi2's display is even easier to read than that of its predecessor. The channel guide lets you view 5 channels at a time while scrolling through the channels by channel name, number, artist name, or song title. You can also skip or add channels while scrolling. In addition, a "favorites" mode lets you preview the artist name and song title currently playing on your favorite channels before you select one. SkyFi2 adapter kits for the home and vehicle let you enjoy uninterrupted XM radio service in any vehicle, at home, or at the office. The SkyFi2 vehicle adapter kit works in any existing car stereo system (with mounting options), and the SkyFi2 home adapter kit is adaptable to most home or workplace audio systems and multimedia speakers. This package comes equipped with the XM SkyFi Vehicle Kit. This vehicle adapter kit is just the thing to complete your Delphi SkyFi2 radio system. To install your SkyFi2 in a car, you need this kit, which contains a vehicle cradle, a cassette adapter, an antenna, and a 12-volt power adapter. The vehicle cradle holds your SkyFi2 receiver and provides connections for audio, power, and antenna cables. The 12-volt power adapter plugs into your cigarette lighter and powers SkyFi2 through the vehicle cradle. The cassette adapter, meanwhile, lets you listen to XM right through your car stereo's cassette deck. XM's digital programming lineup features 67 commercial-free music channels, from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues; 63 channels of sports, talk, children's programming, and entertainment, and 21 channels of weather and traffic. What's in the Box
Receiver, remote control, remote battery, vehicle cradle, a small magnet-mounted vehicle antenna, a cassette adapter, a power adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information. |

Long in the tooth |
I have had my unit since January 2007. It was professionally installed and it worked ok from day 1. Its a radio and it plays. At the time this was purchased it was about top of the line, but I wouldn't recommend it today.
The Good:
- Browse feature is great. You can see what is playing and go right there. Very cool.
- 30 presets or you can direct tune.
- You can pause and replay music, but only from the session you are in. Memory goes when you power down.
The Bad:
- New channels do not come up when you power down. In other words, if you are listening to E Street Radio (58), turn your car off, then start it up again, it can't find channel 58. It hangs for a minute then goes to channel 1. You can then go to channel 58 with no problem. THIS IS TRUE OF ANY NEW OR TEMP CHANNEL!! Given that the lineup has changed substantially, this is a real pain in the butt. Nobody has a fix or an explanation.
- Buttons are small and many do not illuminate at night.
- There is lag at times when tuning.
Bottom line, don't buy this unit if you are looking today. There is better out there.

Although the item clearly had a "used" look, it works great and arrived quickly. I'm pleased! |

Too early to review as I haven't used it yet because I also bought a Roady. |

Disaster |

I bought the boom box and receiver combination; the boom box came from Marketadvisory; the receiver came from a 3rd party; I couldn't get them to work; I sent the boom box back to Marketadvisory; they refunded my money; I sent the receiver back and NEVER heard from them. UGHH. I'll never buy from a 3rd party again. |

Long in the tooth, still sounds good |

Ok, the SkyFi2 is getting old, but it still works just fine. The display shows it's age with large pixel text, it's a bit bulky, it's thicker than it might appear in the photos, but if portability isn't a big issue for you, then this is a really cheap way to get XM for yourself. The sound is just fine, the features are actually very nice, the newer units don't have that much on the old SF2, especially if you set up in one place and leave it. I purchased this for a friend, along with a home kit, and the signal repeater, all together, for less than most of the recivers alone. |
