Not what I expected
When I got the XM2GO for Xmas in 2006 I was really wanting it to be what they advertised. Not even close unless you want a car unit. But first, the nightmare of activation. I had two gift certificates for service but the on line activation would accept only one. Plus, nowhere does it advertise the expensive activation fee. So I called the toll free number. The signal was so bad we could not communicate. On the third try I got a person I could talk to but their accent and command of English was so poor we could not understand each other. Two calls later I finally got someone with enough language skills I was able to activate. Then the disappointment began. You can not walk or bicycle with it. Fine. I will use it at work since the primary ... Read More
Poor quality, can't see screen in bright envirnment.
I have had this for a little over a year and now the unit is turning on and off for some reason. Called Delphi not much help. Put in a new battery and reset all the setting to default and it is still doing it. Also you can not read the screen in the car on a bright day. I would never recommend Delphi MyFi XM2GO Portable XM Satellite Radio Receiver with Home / Car Kits.
Great until it breaks down
Like a couple other reviews, I loved mine until it broke. Returned it under warranty and the second one lasted also only about 13 months and dark screen after a few minutes of play time (with a new battery). I'll try an Pioneer Airwave seems that it is compatible with the Lancing docking station which I already own and has great sound. Save your money.
hard to read
I have owned this item for 2 years and have always found it difficult to read especially on a sunny day. Not a terrible thing. I just switched to sirius and I do find there music much more to my liking. (classic rock,hard ,alternative). Howard Stern seems much more enjoyable being I have not heard him in 2 yrs. It does have a stock ticker which sirius does not offer on any model that I know of.
Some bugs, but overall very good
I've had this unit for about 2 years. I use it in the car, at the office, and at home. Some tips: when hooking up to a stereo receiver, use the "tape" jacks, I found this works best. In the car: best to hardwire into the radio via the car stereo "aux input." Have never got it to work well as a Walkman, the little antenna just doesn't work (get signal when jogging one way down a street, no signal jogging back). Overall, very versatile (lots of after-market stuff, ie: desktop cradle with speakers, battery-powered cradle with speakers, both from Altec Lansing, both work great) and has given me good service. I recommend it.
