Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, good entry level product.
Cons: Lacks sound quality, wires, small buttons, presets are cumbersome to use.
Summary: I hate to drive. That's why I work only 4 miles from home or actually work at home. That was until I made the huge mistake of volunteering to fill in for a friend for one day down at our customer's site about 20 miles away. Well apparently they either ... read more

Pros: Excellent sound, unlimited musical varieties, one of the only remaining places to find the oldies!
Cons: Installation can be frustrating, reception can also be
Summary: The Roady2 is already last years model with the Roady XM replacing it... But as in all previous model replacements the changes are more cosmetic than functional. (for most of us!) The Roady series radios are small and easy to use if you are the ... read more

Pros: Affordable, easy to install
Cons: Smaller than other receivers
Summary: As someone who didn't normally listen to the radio when I was in my car to begin with (usually just listen to CDs or my iPod), I wasn't sure how much I would really enjoy having satellite radio. Part of the reason I did not like listening to the radio ... read more

Pros: Easy to use and install. Low price.
Cons: Flimsy vent mount, clummsy to use jog dial.
Summary: This is my second XM Radio. It's become a necessity on my daily commute. I've had the service almost since it was started. My old Sony XM Radio was too big in my Corolla and it was starting to show its age. I was considering buying a new XM ready car ... read more

Pros: Cheap and easy to install.
Cons: Wires everywhere, can be difficult to use while driving.
Summary: Let if first be said that I am a dedicated customer of XM Radio. I signed up the first year the product became available and I've been gleefully satisfied with the amazing variety the service offers. I wish I could say the same for the methods of ... read more

Pros: Huge variety of stations, great for the commuter. Easy to operate.
Cons: Mediocre sound, no ac adapter for home use.
Summary: Introduction This is my first and only satellite radio. I got it based on listening to a colleague's Roady2 all the way up on a business trip of 2 hours, and I decided I had to have it myself. I'm in the financial industry, and the availability of ... read more

Pros: Programming, Portable between autos and home without extra purchase, and signal strenght
Cons: Durabilty, buy the extra warranty.
Summary: This unit works very well most of the time. When I bought the Roady2 at Circuit City I purched the 2 year service plan since I had such issues with my Sirius H2A. Good thing because teh first one broke after only a couple of months. Clarity of ... read more

Pros: Great Small Design, good features for a good price.
Cons: Channel wheel is a little flimsy.
Summary: The Roady2 (R2 from now on) is the new bare bones plug and play device for XM Satellite Radio. For those of you who dont know what satellite radio is, let me give you a brief description. It is a monthly pay service that gives you access to around ... read more

Pros: portability, price, activation service, strong signals
Cons: not as good quality, other stations can bleed through
Summary: Finally, I have decided to take the plunge into subscribing to satellite radio. Currently, I commute an hour each way to work, and rely on the radio to provide me with good music as I travel 50 miles to my work destination. However, the radio stations ... read more

Pros: Great sound, small size, attractive, full-featured!
Cons: None worth mentioning
Summary: I bought my Roady 2 recently on eBay and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It is exactly what I wanted (small, portable, good features, and attractive) and nothing I dislike. The display is large given the unit's compact size, it has ten preset ... read more

Pros: Portability, music variety.
Cons: Hassle to adjust while driving.
Summary: I bought this unit at a healthy discount from Best Buy just before the Christmas holidays 2004. I'm driving a 2004 RX-8, so my stereo upgrade options are limited: the sound system is integrated with the climate controls. The FM-modulated and very ... read more

Pros: Sound Quality, Ready to use right out of the box. Easy to use.
Cons: It does get warm pretty fast. Display could either have smaller letters or more lines.
Summary: This is my first experience with XM that is not inside a Circuit City. I have been wanting satellite radio for a while now seeing how the quality of local radio has slumped and plagued with commercials, it was just what the doctor ordered. It seems like ... read more

Cons: Ergonomics are iffy, sound quality is disappointing, esp. with the FM modulator
Summary: I should start by pointing out that this is my first satellite radio, so I don't have anything to compare it to... But I imagine I am in good company as most buyers of this unit are first-time buyers. I purchased this radio and got the XM ... read more

Pros: Small, portable, easy to use and set preferences
Cons: No volume knob on radio (but there is a work around)

Pros: Easy Installation
Works with existing car radio
Home Kit available
Cons: Occasional signal dropout (underpass, tall trees).
Receiver generates a little heat.
Summary: I must admit that I'm a news junkie. I also have an hour long commute to the office. Satellite radio began to look like a great alternative to the frustration of poor AM radio reception (My local news station is on AM.) and endess commercials. I ... read more

Pros: VERY PORTABLE. No special cradle required like the Skyfi.
Cons: Nonergonomic design. I hate the 'rotory' knob. Limited Display. The wireless remote solves that.
Summary: One of the reasons I like the Roady2 is b/c you only have to use three plugs; a standard power plug, a standard antenna plug, and a standard mini-stereo plug. This allows you to get away with not needing a "kit" The only drawback is there's three plugs ... read more

Pros: Small, Light weight, and easy to read display even in bright conditions.
Cons: It gets warm when left on awhile.
Summary: This is an excellent radio if you have not jumped in the water yet and got satellite radio. The built in wireless FM modulator removes the bulky add-on the old Roady had. The Roady2 is also much smaller in size than the roady... Not that it wasn't ... read more

Pros: It looks pretty good and mounts nicely
Cons: Horrible Reception, Horrible Audio Quality, Hard to operate interface, Really stiff buttons.
Summary: I purchased this radio for $9 at Circuit City during there big blowout sale to push XM and I figured for $9 what have I got to loose. Well it turns out the radio is absolute junk. The reception on the antenna is horrible, I live in one of the most
