Rating: - Everyone should own a Stiletto 2!
I love the Stiletto 2. I got it as a present for my husband's birthday and it was finally the one time I got him something he would have never got for himself but loves. :)

We enjoy it so much and got the extra memory card so we have 8GB of our own music on it, too. I am SO glad I got the home kit...we can sit right in our living room and play it through the stereo and it's awesome!!

Rating: - Useful but could be better...
The primary benifit to me is the ability to easily connect to a speaker system or stereo. As others have mentioned, you can connect to your home stereo with the included RCA/phono cable but there is also another audio cable with small 1/8"(?) stereo phono plugs which allows connection to PC type speaker systems. You can connect your computer audio output to the line input on the dock and use the line out from the dock to plug into your powered computer speakers and use your computer speakers to listen to the Stiletto2 in addition to your computer audio. The 21 foot antenna wire is great to mount the antenna outside or near a widow so you can improve indoor reception. Before this we could only receive indoors using the Wi-Fi, but that only provides limited functionality. Now we can get full use of Sirius listening indoors with the Stiletto2 and not have to use headphones. Some have complained that there is no FM transnitter but that is not a big deal for me. On the negative side...it seems curious that the volume control on the remote only adjust levels on the headphones plugged into the dock. When using headphones (unless they are wireless), you would be near a volume control either on your radio, the amp or the headphones themselves. But if you are using speakers you are more likely to be farther away and have more need of a remote when wanting to adjust the volume. The mute on the remote does work so at least you can totally kill the sound if needed though it is nessesary to make all other level adjustments at the amp...even the volume control on the radio itself is disabled when plugged into the dock. I intend to see if there is a way which would let me connect some powered speakers into the dock's (standard phono) headphone jack and let me control the volume through that. Dispite those annoyances, all in all this makes the radio much more useful and I would not want to be without it.

Need a home dock for your Siruis Stiletto 2? Then look no further because this is the only choice you have.

Rating: - Great Product
Not sure what the other reviewer was attempting to connect to. The docking kit is made to connect to the RCA inputs on your home stereo system. If you intend to connect it to a radio that does not have RCA inputs, then I agree it would just be a fancy charger at this point.

Easy to set up, however you might need an antenna extension if you do not have a window near by.

Rating: - More braindead engineering by Sirius
3/3/08: To add insult to injury, the audio jack on this thing completely ceased to function after one week of usage.

This device is almost completely useless. The manual for this device that's available on Sirius' website implies that this device allows for FM transmission - that is a lie. Here's what you DO get: You can plug your headphones into it. You can connect it to your computer via USB. You can plug an antenna into it. In other words, no new functionality that isn't already built into the Stiletto 2 itself. The one thing you DO get that's new is a remote control, which I personally will never use (and which came included with the last Sirius radio I bought). In effect, I've paid $50 for a fancy AC charger. I cannot WAIT for the XM/Sirius merger so that I can listen to Sirius on XM's superior hardware.
