Amazon.com Product Description:
The smallest and lightest XM satellite radio on the market, the Delphi XM Roady XT comes with everything you need to enjoy more than 150 commercial-free satellite channels in your car while you're driving across town or across the country. The plug-and-play Roady XT is easy to install, with no wires or cables required. Simply dock it on your dash, where


The low profile lets the XT fit nicely on your car dash.
it uses its built-in FM transmitter to wirelessly transmit the signal to an empty frequency on your FM dial. The device supports more than 100 frequencies, so even users in the busiest radio markets should be able to find several static-free channels. Once installed, listeners will have access to the full XM menu of music, sports, talk, news, children's, and entertainment programming, all without having to listen to a single commercial. The Roady XT also offers 21 advanced traffic and weather channels--yet another reason XM was named best radio service at the 2004 Billboard Digital Entertainment Awards.

To make the listening experience more informative, the Roady XT displays the channel name, artist name, and song title for each XM channel on the bright, high-contrast screen, which boasts seven vivid backlighting colors. Complementing the track info is the TuneSelect feature, which alerts listeners when their favorite songs and artists are playing on a specific channel. Meanwhile, sports and finance fans will delight in the customizable sports and stock tickers; the former runs through the latest scores and schedules for both college and the pros, while the latter keeps track of up to 20 stocks at once.

All the features come bundled in a sleek, innovative housing that's designed to ensure high sound quality while taking up a minimum of space. The diminutive size (it measures a mere 3.7 by 2.2 by 0.61 inches) fits easily in most jacket pockets or purses. This not only helps protect against theft, but also makes it convenient to bring the Roady XT inside for home use (requires the Roady XT home kit).

So don't waste another moment listening to cliché-ridden commercial radio--join the XM revolution today with the Roady XT.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Roady XT
Very disappointed with this unit. Could not get it to work unless I used the cassette adapter. I would not buy a Roady again and I would not recommend it to anyone else.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Service O.K. But modulator is VERY weak.
I purchased the newer model 'Roady' to replace the earlier model. This one has an extremely weak modulator which I need to find a remedy. The older model broadcast a decent signal that could be picked up within 50 feet on other radios and personal sound devices. This newer model broadcasts a signal about three inches. The plugs have changed and the older modulator cannot be used with the newer model Roady.
Needless to say I am very disappointed in the performance so far.
Pros- XM satellite signal has improved over the last year with out requesting the signal to be re sent to our receiver, which was a real pain.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not in any way Plug-N-Play
I purchased this because it claimed it was Plug-N-Play and you did not need a cassette player. When I received it I found that to install without using the cassette adapter could take up to 30 minutes and was expected to provide less quality sound. Installation involved routing wires around the car. I ended up paying an experienced installation technician for 2 hours of installation. If you want to use the casette adapter, it is plug-n-play, otherwise, good luck!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Roady Satellite radio receiver
Had to send the first one of these back because it didn't work and couldn't get another one (Target was out of stock) so had to order another from someone else. The second one works fine and also was better priced. Other than the aggravation of having to wait on the new one everything worked out fine. As usual Amazon was very accomadating!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Performer
I was cautious about purchasing this XM receiver because it appeared so simple and plain in the photos. Don't let that fool you. It has more functionality than my factory XM unit. I found it easy to install myself. The hardest part is running and concealing the wires for the satellite and transmitter antennas and even that isn't very difficult. The kit is pretty complete. I did not use the direct connect because my older vehicle had no (IPOD) input. The kit also contains a cassette input, which I couldn't use either because my vehicle has no cassette deck. The FM method is pretty foolproof. The input connects to your vehicle antenna. I wish it simply went inline between the cable and radio. An inline connector is available, but is not included with the kit. The XM website links you to a site with suggested empty frequencies for your area, which is very useful. I printed several of them for my frequently traveled areas. It was easy to set up, had great reception and lots of info options. If you have ever installed your own aftermarket radio or add-on player installing it is a cinch. Beware that in traveling between highly populated areas with lots of FM broadcasters finding a blank frequency may be difficult and lead to some interference with the FM input. The best way would be an input jack if you have a newer vehicle. I highly recommend this receiver. I also bought a home kit to use this with my second and third home stereos which are not cable connected. Again reception and installation were great. The range on the remote is somewhat limited, but it works in the car for those who are interested. That option would be great for a motorhome user.
