"Audiovox XM Xpress, a simple XM radio receiver that can be attached to a variety of accessories for use in just about every imaginable scenario. The device isn't new to market, but that's just as well; a bit of age has made it quite affordable." from Cnet.com Due to those issues listed, it was enough to make me cancel my subscription. I am not sad to be leaving. I am signing up with XM Radio. At least, there the customer service was a lot more competent. from Yahoo.com Due to those issues listed, it was enough to make me cancel my subscription. I am not sad to be leaving. I am signing up with XM Radio. At least, there the customer service was a lot more competent. from Yahoo.com I installed my Audiovox about two weeks ago. Here are some of my observations. from Circuitcity.com Great add on, good sound, very easy installation in my Dodge Truck, took about 20 minutes to have XM. Good mounting possibilities with included bracket. from Circuitcity.com Easy to install, a call to a XM Radio Rep. was helpful for the channel download. from Circuitcity.com It's not really that user friendly in the car unless you have the remote or want to leave just one station on for the entire ride since the preset buttons are hard to press. Plus, The salesman at my local store told me it was the most current unit from Audiovox, but it's a discontinued model which means it's difficult to get accessories. I had to go to 3 different stores in order to get the home kit. from Circuitcity.com I never believed I would like it as much as I do. It is very easy to use and has a very nice look. The XM itself is great too I enjoy the sports channels so when I am on the road I can still listento a game. This is one of the best things I have ever bought for my car!!! from Circuitcity.com There are plenty of 'tweak' features to adjust if needed. The remote should reallybe with the home kit as it is quite large and clumsy for use in the car. Sound quality is the usual XM, maybe a little less of the overly boosted bass of the Roady2 but if you like that its does have adjustable bass and treble boast built in. My only realcomplaint is there seams to be a quirk with the radio on startup it will not recognize presets for the first few seconds (maybe 30-50) when it first turns on. from Circuitcity.com I have a car kit and 2 home kits so I can use it both at home and at work, as it's easy to carry. I even bought an extra one that I found for a cheap price, because my first car kit went bad. I didn't want to permanently mount the car kit, so I bought a holder from Arkon that goes into the cigarette lighter and holds up the Audiovox. The buttons do feel a little loose, but it hasn't broken, and I prefer to use the remote control anyway. from Amazon.com
