Love that it comes with a car kit. I set it up in my semi within minutes and it was very easy. Love the small slim design and doesn’t take up much space. Also bought a second car kit to put in my jeep so I can just use the one radio in two different vehicles.

I didn’t want to spend the extra thousands to get the upgraded trim on the car I bought to get Siriusxm. I could live without it in the car but I thought I’d take a chance and bought the Onyx Plus. I didn’t want to go through all that it takes to put the antenna outside the car. Turns out antenna works even on the inside. I’ve tested on the dash and even my front seat. On the dash it works great. There are more dead zones if the antenna is on the seat. One place I couldn’t receive a signal is when you are in a tall building canyon but I suspect that might be true even if one has an installed unit. I will not be mounting the unit as I prefer not to leave any of the parts in the car as even locked as it would be a temptation. It all fits in my purse so it’s easy to carry.

I installed this in a Honda CR-V. Installing the antenna and running its wire from the rear of the vehicle up to the front was a breeze. I ran the wire around the rear hatch rubber weather strip until it met a piece of vertical plastic trim that had a seam right at the interior roof line. From there it ran along the seam were the roof liner meets the side trim – slipping the thin wire in the small gap was easy. I ran it along the length of the car along the roof line, and then followed the seam down until it met the dash. For now I just ran the wire across the dash.For mounting I used the included vent mount. I did find that the pre-installed clips are too short when you account for the wire connections that will protrude from the rear of the dock. I substituted the included extended clips and it easily snapped in place in one of my center vents. Eventually I’ll likely switch to the dash mount for a more secure installation. The radio is quite small so it doesn’t take up much space.For audio I used the auxiliary connection provided in my vehicle.The unit fired right up when powered on. There were a few settings to select upon first use, such as time zone and DST. From there it was time to set up an account online and provide the radio ID number displayed on the unit’s screen. Setting up an account took about 5 minutes and went through without a problem. My radio was immediately activated.The display is nice and easy to read. The inclusion of album art is a nice visual addition, although not really necessary. The unit does have a “guide” that allows you to scroll through channel names with a brief description and select which to listen to. There is a bit of a lag scrolling through the channels. There are 20 channel presets, which is more than enough for me.The unit powers on and off with the vehicle’s auxiliary power – no need to ever press the power button.Sound quality is good using my vehicle’s auxiliary port.

(please excuse the dust on the dashboard in the photos, I was not expecting company, lol.)Finally broke down and bought this during the Prime Day sale, after trying to decide whether to upgrade from my streaming only package that I’ve had for the last year or so. Been playing it via FM receiver in my car via the bluetooth on my phone, and that WORKED but it just wasn’t all that convenient, and the sound quality was acceptable but sometimes a bit iffy. So when they reduced the price of this unit down to lower than any other time since I’ve been tracking it, I went ahead and got it.Converting over from my streaming only service to the regular radio service was easy, I did it via chat on their website, and while they tried, naturally, to upsell me to a more expensive package (I did NOT use the offer on the box; via their website, they were offering the $16.99 service for $4.99/month for the next year, less than what I’ve been paying for streaming only, and a better deal than on the box), they made it very easy to change service plans and did it all for me while we were doing the chat.Re the installation: Saw online that while the instructions say to mount the antenna on the roof outside, and run the wiring underneath the weather stripping on the windshield and into the car that way, people have been just attaching it to the dash or windshield from INSIDE the car and having it work for them. So given that it’s the middle of summer and the mosquitos eat you alive any time you step outside here, I opted to at least TRY putting the antenna inside the car. Attached it to my rear view mirror so it was really only a few inches away from where it would be if I had it outside.And it worked, kinda. While I was on the freeway during my work commute. Sounded fantastic there. But there are so many trees here in Raleigh that the signal kept breaking every time I’d drive in my neighborhood, or in the neighborhood right close to work. Sounded absolutely awful, like listening to a record skipping on a turntable.After a week of that, decided to battle the mosquitos outside, and mount the thing per the instructions on the roof and see if that fixed the audio dropouts.Made All The Difference In The World. Been driving here there and everywhere, and since I put it on the roof over the weekend, for the last three days since then, the audio has NOT broken even once.So yes, now that I followed the concept of “when all else fails, follow the directions”, I am LOVING having proper satellite radio in my car. Sounds much better than the Bluetooth FM receiver version, and the extra features on the dock, like artist alert and all those presets, are awesome. Still learning what all the extra buttons do, and went ahead and picked up a remote for it on ebay, so I don’t have to reach quite so far to work them. Just really impressed across the board with it now.

Love this radio. I spend 10 hours a day in my car and this has made it so much better. I love the rewind and pause feature the best.I also love that it records all the music stations you have in your presets so it always starts at the beginning of a song when you switch to the channel and you can even go back and listen to the previous songs.Highly recommended. Don’t bother with FM transmitter. Much better off with the audio cable.

This is my 4th one of these units in 5 years. I am a truck driver, and these types of things along with everything else in the truck is subject to shaking and vibrations from the road on a daily basis. So they tend to last for about a year and a half or longer depending on the roads you drive on. I would pay more for a unit that is built for an 11 hour driving day across roads of all conditions by 5 or 6 days a week, just like ELD devices are. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago and it was a bad unit out of the box with multiple buttons not working. I’m impatient and just threw it away and ordered a new one. The new one works just fine and will go in the work truck on monday. I also noticed that the units will work perfectly until you move in a new truck and unplug everything and replug everything in a new vehicle. Then for some reason it doesnt have good reception, etc. Dont expect customer service to solve this. You can try a new antenna, etc but usually the cheap unit cant take much abuse and you have to buy a new unit. For $40 this unit is easily replaced. If you drive a truck(semi truck), I recommend you spend about another $30-$50 on a proper antenna that you can bolt on to your mirror. Trust me you won’t regret it. You can be in a snowstorm on a winding road in most mountains in the U.S and still be listening to tunes, unless you are in a narrow canyon or in a down town city with tall buildings around you.
