My Roady2 died and I didn't want to spend $200 for my XM radio. This Audiovox model is an excellent value for the price. from Buy.com Pros: XM Radio Concept - Great for Trips and programs not found locally Cons: Weak display contrast and poor text font make it difficult to read in split screen. Signal dead zones "Does what it is supposed to do, however, I had a heck of a time reading the display, especially in split screen mode due to the inability to get the contrast higher and the fact that the font is not a easily readable font choice. from Bestbuy.com My only complaint with the radio is very minor but I wish they would have made it so that when the radio plugs into the cradle it would latch in place somehow making a tighter and secure connection. Maybe the manufacturer will start making a water proof one designed for motorcycles, that would be perfect. Highly recommend this radio for anyone looking for an XM Radio... from Amazon.com After the first Audiovox Express radio we had went t--'s up, we ordered this radio. Works fine and important things to know are: It does fit the cradle for the previous Audiovox Express. from Amazon.com The normal installation includes plugging the powersupply into a 12 volt lighter plug in. The power supply has a 5 amp fuse in it so make sure that your lighter plug in has enough available. The receiver is detachable and has a home kit available (extra cost) that could allow you to use XM in your home or office. This unit is better than factory because some factory units only display 10 characters and XM is now sending up to 36 characters, song title, singer, year, etc, which on factory units can look like "John Couga" singing "Little Pin" instead of "John Cougar Mellencamp" singing "Little Pink Houses". from Amazon.com Radio quit working after two weeks and no audio sound at all. Is now being sent to Audiovox for repair. No reply from XM radio's customer service after emailing them 3 days ago. from Amazon.com This product does all it advertises and I consider it a good value for the price. This is the third XM product I have purchased and the innovations just seem to get better through time. My only slight complaint is that the light on the screen could be softer as it glares slightly even when turned down at night. from Amazon.com I've owned this unit for a year and it's worked very well. I recently bought a used car with a built-in XM radio and like this one better. The full display is nice with Channel ID, Artist, and Song. from Amazon.com Installation and activation was simple. The XpressR funtioned as advertized. I opted to connect to my car stereo via the AUX input rather than the FM antenna method. from Amazon.com This receiver was a snap to install in my Honda Civic. I chose it over the option of a dealer-installed unit (heheh, he said 'unit') because (1) Honda dealers apparently install the XM antenna inside the windshield, which is far from optimal and (2) I don't care to pay $700 for radio & installation. It works great, though I don't utilize any of the advanced features: I'm more of a set the favorites and use them type of person. from Amazon.com
