XACT Communications XTR3CK Sirius Satellite Plug + Play Receiver and Vehicle Kit

The product is fine and works ok in my car. For the price it's a decent deal.Note that this radio will NOT (apparently) play the Best of XM channels. I wanted Opie & Anthony in my car and when I asked Sirius Customer Service, they said that the model of radio that I have will not support those channels. Bah.The radio itself is nice and compact, but the multitude of cords that it requires makes it awkward. I mounted it on my dash and the three big cords fall down across my gearshift. I finally stuffed it into an open spot in the console - pulling it back out to change the channel is a pain.

I own another one of these radios that I bought in 2006. It's great for the home. The old radio bradcasts it's signal to any radio in the entire house that's tuned to the selected fm station. The new model has trouble broadcasting to a radio that's only a foot away! So you need to do a direct connect to jacks on the back of your radio. That means you must buy multiple radios for every room in the house, or pricey signal distribution units. Apparentley, there were complaints that the signnal was too strong and interfered with other radios, so they dropped the signal strength. This seems to now be a problem with all brands of satalite radios.

After calling Sirius-XM to activate this Xact receiver, I put the antenna inside my car -- I just set the end of the antenna behind the back seat, under the rear windshield. Then I bought a Phillips cassette adaptor for $9 at Walmart, put that in my car's cassette player and then plugged it into this Xact receiver. Now my car stereo plays satellite radio that is very clear -- There's no static at all. I definitely recommend this option as a cheap and easy way to get satellite radio in your car if you have a cassette player on your car's stereo.

I purchased this receiver to use exclusively in my car so I would not have to keep rotating my Sportster unit from the home docking station to my car several times a day. I have been frustrated in the reception with the XACT unit. The signal is not as strong and when I pass a driver with a satelitte radio their signal overpowers mine. These our problems I never had with the Sportster. Considering I'm paying for a 2nd subscription to use this unit it is disappointing that I am not able to enjoy it fully.

It is satisfactory. I initially used it in car. However, it only let me set to one station that i could use on radio in vehicle. My solution was to set up radio in the house. It meets my expectations.

I bought this for my boyfriend. He loves Sirius. It works good, but it has a lot of static if you dont have it actually plugged in - using the fm transmitter. My boyfriend couldnt take the static so he bought an AV cord and now it sounds crystal clear and wonderful!

Cheap, easy to Install, Easy to operate. Exactly as described by seller, only complaint is that knob takes forever to scroll through all the channels but that's what the preset buttons are for.

Great little radio. I have used this since 2006.First one blew up in a lightning storm. Coincidence? I bought this because they are not making them any more. It will broadcast through the whole house. I also can use it in my car. Just an outstanding product.
