Customer Reviews:
Comments on Delphi XM Skyfi 2October 13, 2008 In general, the Skyfi 2 is fine, and please default to all the other reviews that sing it's praises.
My biggest gripe with this receiver is the volume control on the remote only functions when you have the receiver connected to a SKYFI boom box (so I read). I use the unit with my home stereo setup, which means I am changing the skyfi channels with the skyfi remote, but then adjusting the volume on my home theatre volume control. The inability to control the skyfi output volume via the remote is completely stupid. I certainly will not be purchasing the bulky skyfi boombox just so I can have control via the remote. I'm still completely baffled, but the instructions clearly say that the volume control option only works in conjunction with skyfi boombox units. Wow. I own a portable xm myfi unit, the remote controls the volume output on that device, as any normal remote would. It's a huge disappointment to not have the volume control. Amazon is great about returning things, so if I have the time to return and replace with another myfi unit, I may do so.
My second gripe is that when searching through the general genre categories, you are forced to cycle all the way through the 12 or so categories to reach the category you just passed over. Again, really annoying and horrible design, considering the beauty of this unit is the ability to search a wide variety of music.
Electronics have come so far in the past 15 years, it pains me to think the designers of these units are overlooking such stupidly obvious user friendly features.

Excellent value in an XM receiver!September 8, 2008 Bought this for my son ... also picked up a home kit, an extra car kit, and a boombox specifically designed for the SkyFi2. The XM web site wouldn't let me add the receiver to my account on-line (the page kept giving a weird error) so I had to call to activate it, but other than that everything has worked perfectly. My son is a music major and loves XM radio ... he takes the boombox to work (at a music store) and listens to jazz and other types of music all day, then takes the SkyFi2 home where his home kit is hooked into his stereo and listens to music in the evening as well. One car kit is in his truck and the other will be put in his wife's car. Chose this over the SkiFi3 after reading reviews, and was able to purchase all of this stuff for only about $125 on Amazon ... what a great value! If I didn't already have a receiver I would get the same thing for myself ...
good priceAugust 12, 2008 This was a replacement for an older unit. good price, works fine, easily transfers from car to house
Can't live without itJuly 6, 2008 Great device. This was a replacement for a unit that had been stolen out of a vehicle.They had already created the SkyFi3 and I did not realize it would work with the SkyFi2 cradle. Anyhow, price was good. The features are fine and it is easy to use. I can't live without my XM.
