The item advertised was misleading. The picture shows the receiver. It was not clear the the receiver was 'not' included.

My older XM just got portable
rating: 5
I was amazed that in this world of planned obsolescence I could find a device that would convert my old roady2 into a portable live on air XM reciever with an FM radio to boot! The battery life is excelent and the design is logicaly cool. the only drawback is that there is no way to lock the controls to prevent accidental volume or chanel changes. it is the same size as a standard walkman and fits nicely innto my coat pocket. The reception is great, even indoors.

Poor design
rating: 2
The item works as described, the problem is the toggle switch, which has now snapped off. The customer service advises that if it isn't under warranty then they cannot repair it. Poor product support. Not worth the cost when you can't get it repaired if not under warranty.

Does a good job but does have a problem
rating: 4
I got mine on sale for about half-price so I have no complaints about the cost. It works very well and, for me at least, will even works indoors. The battery will work around four hours while listening to satellite broadcasts. I've not tried it just on FM. It's certainly not very heavy as some have claimed, at least in my opinion.
The number one problem so far has been removing the Roady receiver after use. The fit is so tight that sometimes it takes all my strength to open the tray. However, I have discovered a solution to that. Get a very thin piece of metal, preferably very strong, such as a fingernail file. In the upper left-hand corner of the audio system the corner is curved. Very gently insert the piece of metal in this corner and very gently pry the radio to the right. You won't have to pry it very far either. So far I haven't damaged the receiver, so be sure and use a gentle touch. I've written Delphi and complained about this problem. They are aware of it, but haven't been able to figure a solution. They say the tight fit is required so the system will work properly.

If you already have a Roady2....
rating: 5
Sign up for the newsletter and special offers online through XM! I also only paid $20, including the shipping! No way would I pay $100-$150, (and I've seen even higher on eBay....with bids!). It's a bit bulky to carry around, but not bad for an easy conversion. Much better reception than I accepted, not like I can complain for $20! My husband has XM built into his truck radio and it will definitly be the way I go in the future because I am not always pleased with the sound quality with the FM reception through my car radio, but now with this system I think I will use my Roady2 a lot more. I also think the case is built pretty good, maybe for over a hundred bucks it feels cheap, but for $20 it feels pretty good. I feel bad for those that paid the higher price, but it's nice to see a company actually do something for it's current customers and not just the new ones.
