By the way, most if not all of the posts on this thread are referring to the Delphi brand of radios and accessories. GM bankrolled XM radio and their Delphi subsidiary makes the biggest line of radios and accessories.

I do NOT recommend the "Roady" XM receiver by Delphi. It is the dinky, smaller SKYfi receiver.

I initially bought it and returned it for the SKYfi. The screen is just too small to read easily and the buttons are too close together to manipulate conveniently.

I have a Roady 2 and agree about the buttons but screen is OK for my purposes. Not familiar with the SKYfi since I am not in the market for an upgrade right now. Subscription runs less than .50 cents a day for umpteen channels of music, live news, traffic and weather.

The Roady 2 does triple duty for me. Use it in the car all over town with just the long wire antenna. Occasional signal drop-off but just a minor nusiance. With an AC adapter, it works nicely at home. Also use it on the boat where it gets really excellent reception.
