Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the car dock for my Sirius Stiletto! It allows me to listen either through the radio with the built in FM transmitter or trough the stereo with the audio output. In my Cadillac I have the Bose system with CD and cassette deck, so I used a cassette adapter and it sounds perfect. When the dock is hooked directly to your stereo you don't ever hear that annoying bleed through from the radio. The FM transmitter is not bad except in Salem, OR. where I live it is nearly impossible to find a channel on the radio without a radio station which makes it impossible to use the FM transmitter. Overall, I love this dock and am on my second one. It is my fault that I destroyed the first one, they don't like to get wet. If I break this one for any reason, I surely will replace it again.Customer Review: Do not buy unless you will connect it though the audio output
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently purchased the car kit (as the Stiletto does not have an FM transmitter). The FM transmitter works, but not well. The signal it emits is not strong at all, and as a result, you can barely hear Siruis from my car stereo (irrespective of what channel you select). The problem is not acquiring the signal from the satellite to the Stiletto (that is very good); the problem is the car kit emitting the single to the car stereo. I assume, but have not yet tried, that connecting the car kit via the audio output will solve this problem, but if you intend to use the car kit without an audio output line, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. It will result in nothing more than frustration.

I purchased the Stilleto 2 and the vehicle docking kit thru Amazon. I hooked up the docking kit in my truck without any problems, but when I went to put the radio in the docking unit, it didn't fit. Seems that the connectors don't line up. I called Sirius and they said I had to contact where I bought it (Amazon). It fit without the battery and backing, but didn't line up when it was completely together, so I ground down some of the case to get things to line up. It now works properly, but when you spend this amount of money for a product it should work properly and Sirius should handle problems with their products. I'll never buy from them again.Customer Review: Stiletto

My main concern was the fm transmitter as on other reviews it stated it was not very strong. I bought this unit for my father to use in his tractors and cotton picker of all places and I needed it to work thru the fm transmitter. Well, as adversited, it did not work very well in the tractor or combine. Now, in all fairness the radios in those are not state of the art by no means. He also uses this unit in his Chevy truck and I helped him set it up in ther also and he has been very very pleased. Never would have thought my dad would have become addicted to satellite radio...but he has. Overall, I was pleased with this unit and the price.Customer Review: Stiletto vehicle

I've read notes about people having trouble with the reception using this box, but I found if I loop the power cord over the rear view mirror (it is plenty long) I could get a good fm signal. I noticed that these FM xmitters seem to use the power cable as part of the broadcast antenna -- at least the ones I've used always work better if I loop the power cable over something.
I didn't try the antenna provided since this worked fine in the pickup. When I take it over to the car I'll plug into the aux port on the radio. I could see someone having problems with the radio receiving antenna buried in the rear window glass.
