Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Delphi SkyFi3 XM Satellite Radio with Car Kit
Customer Review: Great Looking Product
Summary: 4 Stars
This Unit Is a great looking product. The Pictures don't do it justice. The screen is huge, which is the best while driving, because your not squinting to see what song is on or what channel is on. The only Issue I notice is that the Fm modulator in it is very weak. It comes with Xm Sure connect, Which resolved the issue by running an extra wire to my anntenna, But I see it as an extra wire which im not a big fan of. The plus side of this sure connect is that it does overide any station that you set your modulator to, since its broadcasting on your existing cars antenna, so no more messing around with stations in a heavily transmitted area like NYC. But Overall Great Product and I Highly Suggest Picking one of these Up.Customer Review: I wanted to believe, but...
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my third XM unit - Roady, SkyFi2, now this one. I bought it because I was impressed by the specs, namely the MicroSD slot and the ability to record songs for later playback. It felt to me like the ideal mix.
Out of the box, it felt flimsy, and my hunch was right -- the unit died on me completely (won't turn on) about 18 hours after receiving it (only 2-3 hours of use). Two hours of troubleshooting with technical support has only confirmed it being busted. XM Radio has been unpleasant, to be polite, dealing with the matter (I bought it directly from them). This being the third Delphi unit to die on me, I'd avoid the brand... and at this point, I'm done with XM, after four years.
Customer Review: not as advertised
Summary: 1 Stars
After 3 years of enjoying Delphi's MyFi, I had to replace it. The SkyFi3 was my gamble and it did not pay off. The reviews were mixed but, I chose to try this model. Within the first hour after activation, I realized that the FM transmitter did not work then it locked up. Exactly as reported by other reviewers. It did work with the hard antenna connection but, this is impractical for home stereo units or with other vehicles. The following morning it locked up again after just a few minutes of use. Without a reset button or removable battery, you must wait for the battery to die before you can get it to work again. Don't waste your time or $$ on this unit.Customer Review: SkyFi3 Part Deux
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the 2nd SkyFi3 I bought. The first one lasted a little over 2yrs then kept freezing and locking up while listening to it. The 2nd one was a good deal and we had accessories already in place in the truck and MC so I didn't want to buy all new accessories again. Bad idea - this one is just under 2yrs old and is starting to freeze up now. Reception/sound is great but I think the model itself has issues that the company knows about but won't address. Buy something else for goodness sake and don't waste your $$$. I waited to review this due to this fact but wanted everyone to be aware of this possible issue.Customer Review: feature packed but inconsistant
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product right when it came out. I took the risk because it had every feature I was looking for and more. The Skyfi3 is easy to use in the home and on the road, and up to snuff as a portable device with the added accessories. The problem is...well there are many. The device often freezes when trying to boot up. The internal memory that stores your recorded XM content becomes corrupted on a regular basis. Sometimes the device doesn't know how to recognize the car dock and freezes up. Sometimes the screen doesn't even display any information even though sound is being pumped to your speakers. Too bad.
