Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Delphi SkyFi3 XM Satellite Radio with Car Kit
Customer Review: Great Radio, but mine still has bugs
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my third portable xm radio. My first was the Delphi Skyfi2 (excellent unit), the 2nd was Samsung Nexus50 (terrible unit, don't buy it).
Like the skyfi2 this unit works as advertised. It is smaller than the 2, has longer memory (10hrs vs. 5hrs) and has a bigger display. It is an evolutionary improvement on the Skyfi2.
Unfortunately, my unit freezes up on me. There is no reset switch and you can't power it down when it does freeze up. Your only solution is to drain the battery so the unit power itself down. I would have rated this unit as a 5 star if it wasn't for this problem.
Customer Review: Great unit when it works...
Summary: 2 Stars
If you don't mind a unit that works when it wants to, and not when you want it to, this might be the one for you. I have never had a piece of electronic equipment that was so quirky. Trouble is, I can never reach the point that I will toss it, because tomorrow it might decide to work. It is the kind of equipment you mght give to someone you don't really like. It will drive them up the wall. I can't believe that they let this one stay on the market. It really gives Delphi a bad image and I would never select their gear again even over an unknown competitor. But, yours might be working...for now.Customer Review: Piece of Junk

Please do yourself a BIG favor and DO NOT buy any delphi satellite radio receivers. After buying a MyFi and going through two of those, plus the battery recall it finally died after only two years of use. Bought the SKYFI3, did the updates and same thing happened. After two years it too has failed. Won't retain preset channels, reboots for no reason and then loses all presets. User interface menus are clunky, murky and non intuitive. Whoever programmed this should find another career. Am going to another vendor as Delphi has clearly dropped the ball on this and the myfi units.Customer Review: Nice display and much improved over previous models
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the SkyFi2 abou 9 months ago. I went to Fry's and was immediately drawm to the larger display. I wound up buying from Amazon because it was $50 less. The unit is awesome. I have a motorhome that I wanted to have it to use in there and its critical that I do not play with dials, etc.. while I am driving. This unit makes it easier to see with the larger display and the construction feels better as well.
So far, the SKyfi3 seems to be the best for XM units that offer the versatility of home and car as well as portability.
Customer Review: DON'T buy this model
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned and used 7 different models since the beginning of satellite radio. This is by far the worst model I've had as far as working properly. There is always a software update. My model freezes every time it is powered on. I was told that a previous software update messed it up and that the new update would fix it. It never did. Delphi has sent me a new power cradle, no luck. I have to do what they call a soft reset everytime I start my truck. There are too many other good models out there to waste your time with this one.
