Concept: Cool, but Technology Still Not Up to Par
Conceptually, this is a great product. And it's nice that all of the "extra's are included". But guess what -- Great ideas are just ideas unless they actually work. This device simply does not do what I was sold that it would do.
I was sold on the idea of portability. I tried using it at the gym... forget it. No signal unless you have a clear shot of the sky (that's how satellite technology works).
I then went outside and tried using it outdoors. The reception would cut in and out continually. Simply annoying. To think I paid $300 for this thing and another 10 bucks a month... I was sold on a "concept" which isn't there yet.
In the car with the external antenna the Delphi's reception is great. Unfortunately I don't have a cassette player in my car so I can't play the content through the car stereo. Forget about using the FM transmitter feature, no chance in hell you'll get it to sound decent there.
And yes, I could use an auxiliary input, but I'll just have to purchase another receiver for my car as my factory CD player won't allow me to patch in that way either.
So let's get this straight... I can't use Delphi MyFi on the car stereo, I can't use it at home, in the gym or outdoors, but I still paid $300 + a monthly fee forXM? This puppy's going back to the store.
great reception in Los Angeles
We've had our unit for a few weeks now and are very happy. In Pasadena we get great signal from all the antennas - built in, portable, car, and home. The home antenna is not picky about the aim, we have it 8 feet or so from a southeast window. We use the FM xmitter in the car a lot, 88.3 works just fine without interference. In Burbank in the hill area the reception drops out. What's missing is a way to delete the promos and individual songs from the recorded material, and a button to start recording when the next song starts.
"Portability" is a real drawback for "2GO"
As a unit for the car or in the home, the XM2GO is great. I purchased mine for running(2GO) and for the car as an afterthought. It works great in the car. The sound and reception are great. The price for subscription is good. The attachments for the car are substandard, but not severely so.
However, the unit is awful if you live in an area with trees or buildings. It has the dumbest antenna that you clip on to boost the signal. It does not work and a run with this thing is maddening.
It has the capacity store programing. But, the carrying case is so poorly designed that it shuts off the unit when you put it in the carrier. The carrier itself attaches very poorly and mine fell off while running.
If these folks had any conscience they would retro-fit these units once they work out the antenna problem. They should also provide a decent carrier.
The unit itself is quite acceptable. The attachments are so poorly thought out that I will be very cautious about purchasing anything made by them.
