Audiovox SIRCMB2 Sirius Satellite Radio JamPack Combo (SIRPNP2 Tuner and SIRCK1 Car Cradle)

The SIRPNP2 features an LCD screen that displays radio stream information, artist, song title, and category title. The Memory Capture feature saves up to 20 artist and song titles for later recall, while the S-Seek feature constantly searches all radio streams for the saved songs/artists. The Look Ahead feature allows you to stay on and listen to the current radio stream while browsing other streams to see what's playing.

The SIRCK1 docking cradle connects to your in-dash car stereo with the included RCA audio cable. If your car stereo doesn't have an audio connection, the FM transmitter can send the Sirius radio signal to one of four FM frequencies (88.1 MHz, 88.3 MHz, 88.5 MHz, or 88.7 MHz). The base has a swivel ball for adjustment of the dock, and it can be mounted to your dash using the included adhesive strip or included screws. The antenna has a magnetic base that enables you to mount it on your car's roof or trunk; it connects to the docking cradle with a 20-foot antenna cable.

Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides up to 100 channels of programming, from digital-quality music to news, talk, and sports.

Now i can't get him off of it. He really loves it. It's very simple to use in the home or car. It is so easy to set up in the car or home. For home you just need to buy a cord and whola. It's all set to go. My boyfriend didn't want one of these units when i first asked him how he would like one.

LOL. But little did he know i had already bought one for him. On valentines he received it. I rate it very highly.

It's not the smallest Sirius radio, but if you want a trouble free tuner, this is the way to go.And if you like sports play by play, Sirius is the way to go. They have play-by-play from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and 26 college teams (including my KU Jayhawks). I've owned several Sirius radios, and the PNP2 was by far the most rock-solid and trouble free unit. They even carry English soccer.

Can't tell you how it works, because it does not work. Apprently there is only telephone tech support during normal working hours, AND the web site in unresponsive which is a bad indication that there's a LOT of other very unhappy people trying to hunt these guys down.

My daugther can read the artist and title from the back seat of our van.I have had this radio for over a year now - it is the best gift I have ever received. Also, you can do the same if your stereo accepts external connections (like for an MP3 player) or has an AUX input. Easier to see while driving. This thing has been a lifesaver travelling with kids - KidStuff and Disney Radio channels saved our sanity. I also think the bigger display is better than the smaller ones I have seen on other units. I listen to Fox News during the commute to work. It is used every day.

I tried XM in rental cars, wife got me Sirius for Christmas - very glad she did because the channel and programming are better. You can connect this radio thru the 'Line Out' to a tape adapter and lose the FM radio transmitter - MUCH BETTER SOUND QUALITY. Using the tape adapter (or direct connect) you truly get CD quality sound - awesome. The FM transmitter is ok, but direct connect sounds so much better.I am a picky person when it comes to sound. This unit did not disappoint. I loved this thing so much I bought the stock at $3/share - WOOHOO.Buy it, you will not be disappointed.

Works great. The whole thing costs maybe $18 and will allow you to power this unit at home.

For those wanting to use the unit at home, go to radio shack, get a 12V, 500 milliAmp wall receiver, then buy the Adaptaplug "E". Radioshack, a vendor of Sirius products, now sells its AC adapters with different, interchangeable ends.

I read the other earlier reviews. Getting satellite reception through your windows, though, might be more difficult.I think this is a wonderfully clever system.

I think one person's FM reception problems might be solved by using the switch on the side of his Audiovox car cradle, designed to hone in on FM 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, or 88.7.As for using the adhesive backed antennae, I did NOT, preferring just to leave it on the front of the dash near the windshield. There is enough slant there to keep the unit from sliding back into the seats.

I enjoy both the quality of sound (stereo, as far as I can tell) and the tremendous variety of offerings: classic radio shows like Burns and Allen, Latin, BBC, NPR, NFL, MBA, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Hip-Hop, Classical, Electronic.I'm glad I got it.
