 Great radio with nice functionsDec 27, 2008
This is my first satellite radio so I don't have much to compare it to, but I can say it does everything I need. The 30 presets come in handy and the different display choices let me decide how I want to view and review the stations. The recording feature is nice I guess but I have never used it and don't think I will ever need to use it. My only complaint is with the mounting gear. The pivot that attaches to your dash only has about a 20 degree pivot and due to the layout in my car, it was impossible to mount it and have it pivot enough for me to see the display while driving. As a result, I have to clip it to my air vent.
 Owned for 1 year and happy with this unitDec 09, 2008
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. This unit has 30 presets (vs 12 for my built in unit). With 100+ channels, you use up presets fast. I use the cassette interface and get very good sound quality. This unit also seems to have slightly better signal reception than my built-in unit. I would buy it again.
Awesome!Nov 17, 2008
I love this product and use it every day in my car. I bought a second kit so I can transfer it between my two vehicles. I would recommend it to anyone.
Better for the HomeNov 16, 2008
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.
In my neihborhood, leaving the XpressR in the car is out of the question. Although the cradle works well, it doesn't lend itself easily to frequent removal and replacment of the module. I also (quickly)grew tired of seeing the cigarette lighter power wire, AUX input wire, and antenna wire dangling from the XpressR.
Long story;short, I bought another XM receiver, the XM mini, that connects to the back of my "XM ready" head unit. It's a much cleaner look and better security. Warning: each receiver requires it's own $ub$cription. With the aid of an RCA splitter, I connected the XpressR to the Home Stereo. XM indoors and out.

Excellent XM radio with 30 presetsNov 12, 2008
This isn't as fancy as the color model available, but has 30 rather than 10 presets and is less expensive. It works very well in both my car and at home (home kit used). Highly recommended!
