Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • If the car temperature exceeds 100 degrees like most do in the summer, the radio quits working till it cools off.(3
  • it acted like it was a brand new radio with access to only one channel and the scroll wheel wasn't working (Like the day I bought the radio)
  • The use of a wheel for menu navigation works well on portable devices (like on the original iPod)
  • I have a friend at work that has a stiletto and can’t get reception in our building, but this one works great and much cheaper with cheaper accessories
  • the antenna on top works well if you are outside or in a

Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • Unlike other players I have bought, this unit is very versatile.
  • Aside from the disappointment about the timing of the half-hour of replay availability, this remains an exceptionally good buy for someone who'd like to listen to their XM on-the-go.(Oh
  • 2012Just found out Best Buy has stopped selling this product...probably because it's crap.
  • Purchased this radio at Best Buy given that I had a $25 off coupon and it made the deal a good one.

  • Has a nice feature that you can record songs and shows and even put your own music on the player with the Micro/SD Card that inserts into the top of the unit
  • Its features were limited.
  • It has lots of great features, which are wonderful, when they work

Reviews around xm (4.26 of 5)

  • I was only able to load MP3 files onto the XMP3i using the horribly slow XM To Go Music Manager software
  • After doing all of this, it was a serious bummer to discover that the XM portable unit limits the output volume severely when sitting in the car dock.
  • The level of customer care with the XM people was Stellar!
  • If you like XM but don't want to spend $200 a year for music only in your car this is the unit for you
  • I enjoy listening to my portable XM while sitting on the beautiful beaches here at Panama City Beach

Reviews around channel (4.16 of 5)

  • I thought sat rad had all these cool channels where you would hear stuff that wasn't on FM, but the truth is that it's still very mainstreamy.
  • Even though I am in a large metropolitan area, there are enough unused channels to choose from in the FM band so that the XMp3i can send satellite radio through.
  • it also has a auto recording function where it will just record your favorite channels in the background
  • My one channel gets recorded for something like 5 hours & 5 other channels I have listened to for a bit at some point get recorded as well.
  • Just about 3 months later this player is now broken as the front dial came off.

Reviews around station (4.16 of 5)

  • , this is SO MUCH EASIER to load favorite stations onto than my Skydock (which was a pain)
  • I purchased a cassette adapter for it which alleviates the pain of trying to find a clear radio station while traveling, and it fixes the problem of my cars radio not having an input
  • In fact, the car unit is superior to this unit for the user interface since it has quick select buttons for favorite stations.
  • Just about 3 months later this player is now broken as the front dial came off.
  • All cables, a desk docking station (very nice), and naturally power cable, USB cable, external antenna with a VERY long cord, manuals, battery which is removable

Reviews around reception (3.63 of 5)

  • This radio gets better reception than I thought it would get
  • It also has poor reception pretty much anywhere you use it
  • It could be that San Antonio has good reception from the satellite
  • There are no commercials and you have the ability to record a lot of music on bad reception days or being out of the
  • Given the poor reception and useability issues I have to give it 1 star.

Reviews around unit (3.36 of 5)

  • My current unit has lost all ability to scroll thru channels with the "wheel".
  • The unit remained dark as if turned off, but still recorded in that mode
  • Oh yeah, every once in awhile the unit just freezes up for no reason.
  • But what is the point of a portable unit if its not portable
  • This is a great portable unit when used with the antenna head phones...purchased separately!

Reviews around antenna (3.34 of 5)

  • My old antenna works with the XMp3i cradle, as does the patch cord connecting the XM radio to my surround receiver.
  • But only for Sirius radio's (not compatible with XM-only radio's).Amazon sells this antenna for around $39
  • Utilizing it as a recorder and accomplishing that from your home dock, and external antenna at night is perfect for indoor use later.
  • the antenna on top works well if you are outside or in a

Reviews around device (3.32 of 5)

  • It also works well as a standalone device for plugging into your home stereo system.
  • While you can upload MP3s to an SD card more quickly, mine will not play them, and any interaction with the SD card slows the device down.
  • It's very dangerous to use while driving (as are any devices, but this device particularly so).
  • Last, this device impressed me so well, that I bought a second one to give to my elderly father-in-law
  • This might seem unnecessary in the age of fast responding smart phones given this device has a color display and seems latest / greatest, but this device is very underpowered in the processor department

Reviews around battery (2.04 of 5)

  • I'd recommend this one over some of the fancier models just because it's portable and additional batteries are cheap at Amazon
  • That battery is quite good and lasts about 3.5 hours if listening live and 7 hours or so if listening to recorded music.
  • When the ignition is off the other devices will drain the battery till it ruins both the radio and battery, getting extremely hot.
  • It gets launched when you let the battery go dead or you just pop the battery out for a moment.
  • Just about 3 months later this player is now broken as the front dial came off.

  • Something has to be really bad for me to bother to write a negative review
  • I am guess that is where the good reviews are coming from
  • I see so many negative reviews of the equipment here on Amazon.
  • Because of the negative reviews I almost sent it back without even tryng it, I am so glad I decided to give it a chance

Reviews around interface (1.33 of 5)

  • The interface seems a little sluggish at times and is not the most intuitive, but it works.
  • Just about 3 months later this player is now broken as the front dial came off.
  • The interface seems a little sluggish at times and is not the most intuitive, but it works.
  • Having to fumble with an unreliable and unintuitive wheel-based interface is not only frustrating, but also unsafe when I am on the move
  • But when coupled with a buggy and unintuitive interface such as on this unit, it becomes a major hinderance
