User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars No Complaints Here; I like It!
This was a Christmas gift for the wife. I purchased this to see how things would go (service, installation and pricing of Sirius), well, I’m pleased. They have won me over.

I like the SV2 for it’s simplicity and ease of use. My wife has no complaints; she spends more time in her car than I do, so it is worth it. I’m thinking of taking this SV2 & upgrading her to a different model. Folks, you can’t go wrong here.

5 Stars Commercial-free radio rocks!
I initially had no interest in this product but I received it “free” with my sign-up for DirecTV just before Christmas 2007. After using it for two weeks, I really like its programming and the quality of the signal and NO COMMERCIALS! I look forward to football season and getting numerous game broadcasts from all over the nation!

I installed it in my car using its built-in FM-transmitter function (I tune both my FM-radio and the Sirius FM-transmiiter to an unused station.) I initially mounted the Sirius antenna on the car roof with the antenna cable hanging down through my sunroof. I later moved the antenna to inside the car at the foward-most part of the dash just under the front windshield. After using it like this (with wires everywhere!), I am very pleased and have decided to sign-up for long-term Sirius service. I am now paying to have it professionally installed using a direct line-in to my factory radio (i.e. no more FM radio broadcasts). I never thought I’d pay for radio but I’m convinced it’s worth it if you can afford it.

5 Stars Great product
Both other reviewers didn’t rate the product. They rated amazon’s service. The product is great for it’s price. It’s can be hooked up with it’s built in fm transmitter or directly with it’s headphone jack (which does not include the wire and requires you to have an aux in for your vehicle). Both work well and the sound is crystal clear. The missing features are easy indoor hookup (no compatible boom box) and lack of rewind/fast forward but neither are needed for car only use.

1 Star Lie About Shipping Time — Buy From Someone Else
Seller mislead/lied to me regarding the shipping time. My order has taken over 2 weeks to process and I still haven’t received the product. Pay no attention to their “delivery estimate” because it means nothing.

Do yourself a favor and take you business elsewhere.

3 Stars Wires or Not?
The Amazon Product Review for theis radio states both that “you’ll have to connect it to your stereo console via wires” and that it “includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle’s FM tuner, so you don’t have to make a direct connection”. Which is it?
