I have had XM since satellite radio first came out, but this is the first portable unit. The display is colorful and clear, the sound is excellent, and it's very user-friendly. However, this would seem to be a discontinued model, for the car kit for the Helix is no longer available. There is, however, a car kit for the Pioneer Inno that will work with it. from Overstock.com Samsung HELIX (YXM1Z) XM Radio/1GB MP3 Player This is the one you need if you love XM radio i.e. music, news, stock reports, sports commentary and also if you love MP3 feature. from Bhphotovideo.com 1. Samsung Helix: Easy-to-use buttons, instant bookmarking, beautiful color screen with cute graphics illustrating each XM station. Delphi SkiFi3: Buttons freeze up and are often unresponsive, monochrome screen which also often freezes. from Amazon.com When the radio works it is good (except for frequent loss of signal when walking with it in standalone mode, ie, no external antenna), but pray you never have a warranty problem. My radio died, Samsung has had it for almost 6 weeks now and I can't find out from them when it will be returned. And I've called every number I can find!!! from Amazon.com I got my Helix for $129.99 with a $50 rebate from XM Radio. The car kit cost me an additional $69. from Amazon.com Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1M30CSS5D2QAK NerdBoyTV discovered the Helix XM2go Portable Satellite Radio with MP3 Player last Christmas 2006. We bought two - one for us and one for a gift. from Amazon.com The radio itself is great and holds a signal really well in most places I venture, but don't buy this if you want to listen to it in your car. Because this radio is discontinued you will not be able to find the car kit for this radio anywhere at any price. You can find the nearly compatible car kit for the Pioneer Inno and use the soft side of a Velcro tape to secure the Samsung Helix into the Pioneer Inno car kit. Once more, I bitterly recommend you do NOT use Amazon.com for anything but book purchases if you want to make an informed buying decision. from Amazon.com I've had my Helix for about 6 months and am enjoying it thoroughly. I mainly use it to record XM 202 from 6am-Noon, since I'm usually still asleep while my favorite show is on (You can set it to record before you go to bed). from Amazon.com This device (Samsung Helix) is a great way to get Xm radio anywhere. I have been traveling for work throughout the summer, and have been in roughly 10 different states, from the East Coast to the Midwest, all from my home base in California. from Amazon.com Don't buy this if you plan on using it for anything else but a home unit. you cannot use it in a car, because the car docking station for the helix has been DISCONTINUED . tell me how that makes sence. from Amazon.com
