Customer Reviews for XM Dock & Play Home Kit
Review 1 for XM Dock & Play Home Kit
Great addition to Sirius XM Radio, or an onyX
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Size, ease of use,
What's not so great: Needs a remote unit for home use, needs capability for presets
I purchased this unit to use in my home with a free onyX radio I received as part of an XM promotion. I connected it to a ZvoX sound box which I also use for TV sound enhancement. I am quite pleased with the overall result, wide selection of station venues, great sound, user friendly. The home dock allows me to use the product in the house or office, and the radio can be also used in an auto.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 2 for XM Dock & Play Home Kit
Works well
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Ease of moving the receiver
I got this as well as the receiver as a gift. The antenna installation gives the best reception. The installation is a bit "awkward" and I have wires running all over my car as I'm not inclined to lift rubber seals to hide wires. The home dock for the device works great and I like the fact that only the receiver has to be moved and redocked in my car.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 4 for XM Dock & Play Home Kit
Too complicated

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: Too complicated
Bought this as a gift for my husband (with an XM Onyx) only because I could not get a portable docking unit (out of stock everywhere) for Christmas. Thought it would easily connect to my stereo system and it would play through an aux hook-up. After reading the installation directions and trying to find a good place for the antenae to find a satellite station, and then it wouldn't work with the aux hook-up, I returned the unit and found a portable docking unit after Christmas (not at Best Buy).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does the job well, but...

What's great about it: Works well, good satellite reception
What's not so great: Must use wired connection to stereo system
Antenna pulls in satellites much better than I expected, allowing me to hang it on the backside of my stereo cabinet, out of sight. It faces a southern wall of the house, so that probably helped a lot.
I would have rated it 5 stars except for the surprise (not mentioned in the specs) that you must use a hard wire connection to your stereo, you cannot choose to broadcast it to an FM channel, like you can using the radio in a car. In my case it did not really matter, but if you were planning on using that feature, it won't work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great price, easy to connect to home stereo, very easy to use.
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet.
I have satellite radio build into my car, but wanted to listen to it at home. This unit replaced a Delphi SkiFi 3. Conpared to the SkiFi3 this unit is a dream. Easy to use. Was able to connect it to my speaker system easily. Great sound quality and I don't think it is all related to my speakers. Love the display area on the unit. I am able to see it even when I'm not right there. It was well worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Disables FM
There isn't much to this dock so it would be hard to mess this one up. Unit works great. Reception is great. I was disappointed to find the dock disables FM output even with the aux plug not connected which would have allowed me to place the unit where I want instead of right next to the stereo
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works great when the sky is clear.
What's not so great: If it is cloudy and raining, it will not pick up a signal.
Overall a good product. It is just like satellite tv when it comes to picking up a signal when it is cloudy and raining or snowing. But I am otherwise satisfied with the quality of the product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works great, easy to set up, install,
What's not so great: sometimes driving through downtown, there is static, but otherwise its great!!
Love the XM. I knew someone who could install it, so I saved money on installation. I recommend everyone do this, it was very easy! The hardest part was figuring out where I want to put it in my car, lol. I use the XM in the car and house, so I didnt need to actually insall the unit in the dash.
I only have static when driving through the downtown area, where all the tall buildings and other connection interferences are, so thats expected I guess. Inside, the set up was very easy, just plugged the two connection wires into my stereo, and in 5 minutes, I was listening to SATELITE!!

What's great about it: One-step xm radio plug in
What's not so great: A lot of wires
This was a Christmas gift for my dad, which meant I got to set it up for him. The set up wasn't hard at all, but there are several wires coming out of the home docking station (audio in, power, antenna) so it's kind of annoying to find a good place for everything to plug in. It was also difficult to get the antenna to face south from the room he wanted the radio in.
Once you have a good signal though, it's easy to pop the xm radio in and out of the cradle. Plus, it's quite convenient to plug it into your TV.
Since you'll likely have a mess of wires with any home player, this devicegets the job done.
