 - Delphi Skyfi2Easy set up. Works fantastic with built in fm transmiter, and XM radio what more can I say the best. Rating:  - poor reception in mountainous areasPurchased this satellite receiver to use at a vacation home in the mountains of southern california. I already own a 4+ year old delphi roady that had no issues in this regard, but decided to get a second receiver so I would not have to transport the roady back and forth from my home to the mountains and it always received a great signal from the satellite. The new receiver was incapable of even being able to locate or load the signal in order to activate an additonal account with xm. I activated the device in town without difficulty but as soon as I moved it back to the mountains, no signal could be found. NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone who needs good satellite reception in mountains. BE WARNED that xm customer service is not helpfull or forthcoming with issues related to placement of this receiver. Rating:  - The new SkyFi2This was a replacement for the SkyFi2 I purchased about 3 years ago. (The old one was stolen)The old one would transmit thru the Fm modulator to my auto stereo perfectly. This new one must not have the same type of modulator, as it won't transmit to my auto stereo. It does, but fades in and out and usually with a LOT of static, just like there was no antenna hooked up. It will work fine with the cassette adapter and the gizmo that you have to run out and put on the outside antenna. I don't like either of those methods. I like XM radio, but not the changes made to this SkyFi2 receiver! Rating:  - Buy this product!Easy to set up and use right out of the box. Quick shipping too! Rating:  - Amazon Lack of ServiceWhen I attempted to obtain the status of my order I was told to contact the supplier of said order. I objected to this as I had ordered the item from Amazon. Amazon insisted I call the phone numbers they had supplied. I called the two numbers Amazon had supplied, one was disconnected and there was no one available to answer the second. I informed Amazon and their response was less than satisfactory. I cancelled the order and informed MC to cancel the payment to Amazon. MC was courteous and responsive to my request. Amazon could learn a lot from MC!
