Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy all your favorite music and XM satellite radio programming wherever you roam with the Delphi SKYFi3 portable radio. You can store and manage up to 10 hours of XM programming saved to the internal memory. In addition to its XM satellite radio reception, this compact, lightweight device enables you to enjoy enjoy music from your digital library (MP3, WMA and WAV files) via optional, removable Micro SD memory cards (which provide up to 2 GB of storage). You can listen to the SKYFi3 via headphones while on the go, or listen via your car stereo using the included plugh-and-play car dock. 
Compact and lightweight, the SKYFi3 can be used as a portable digital audio player. | In today's fast-paced, multi-tasking world interruptions while listening to your music or radio programs is unavoidable. The SKYFi3 features a 30 minute Pause-Replay function that continuously and automatically saves the last 30 minutes of XM radio programming--regardless of whether you changes channels--via the built-in 32 MB internal RAM. At any point during live listening, you can pause a song or program with a single button press. As long as playback resumes within 30 minutes, you can enjoy what you would have otherwise missed. Save up to 10 hours of XM programming onto the SKYFi3's non-removable internal flash memory (256 MB). Recordings can be started anytime during the live listening mode or by using SKYFi3's scheduled recording feature. The SKYFi3 includes a variety of features that have become important to XM subscribers. The TuneSelect and Artist functions alerts you when your favorite song or musical group is being played on any XM channel. The Delayed Start Recording feature gives you 45 seconds from the start of the song to press the Record button and capture all of the song. Plus, a Stock Ticker offers a personalized way to track the latest stock quotes. This player also includes an infrared remote that can control every radio function. 
The included, easy-to-install car dock enables you to mount the SKYFi3 vertically or horizontally. | This package comes with everything to start enjoying XM in any vehicle equipped with an FM radio, via the built-in FM modulator. A low-profile car dock with direct channel and preset-favorites access allows for both horizontal and vertical mounting options. The car dock also provides for a single auxiliary line input so you can listen to an external audio source (such as a portable CD player or iPod). The SKYFi3 can easily be removed from the car and used as a portable music player with the included earphones, and its rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of playback. The latest addition to Delphi's SKYFi satellite radio family, the SKYFi3 is 65 percent smaller in size--measuring 1.69 x 3.78 x 0.47 inches (WxHxD)--and features bright 2.8-inch, 9-line display and intuitive controls. The easy-to-access car dock buttons also offer improved readability and control for safer operation while driving. What's in the Box

 Delphi SA10224 SKYFi 3 Portable XM Radio Receiver with Vehicle Kit July 19, 2008
I am really impressed with the Skyfi3 XM Satellite Radio. It is lightweight, the right size to fit in you shirt pocket or pants pocket and has the right functionality to serve its purpose. The sound quality is good with enough volume to overcome most external sounds, in particularly for me, a lawn mower. Its mobility allows it to be used in your home, car and outside walking or jogging. You have to purchase the accessories for the home and outside functionality. I also purchased the home kit since the SKyFi3 comes with a car kit. I purchased the wireless router in order to transmit the signal from the south side of my house to a location inside my house. It is absolutely necessary to have clear view of the southern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. It has worked wonderfully after setting up the antennae outside in a covered plastic container. The antenna is supposed to be weatherproof but I am not taking any chances. It took me about 2 hours to read the directions for each device and get everything working. Even the car installation was very easy and worked once all the parts were connected. I have had one glitch with the device. I tried to turn it on one day after not using it for a week and it wouldn't come on. After much anxiety I read the manual and it explained how to reset the device. I like most it ability to set up recording schedules for your XM stations. These can then be sorted by various means to access the recordings. The device has many functions and for the $26.99 including S&H for the car kit it was well worth it. I highly recommend this device and its accessories.
 Buy something else July 19, 2008
This is the second one of these units I have had. They both suffer from the same problem of locking up when they are booting thier firmware. There is no way to reset them other than to let the batterie die ~ 4 hours of uslessness. caveat emptor
Great product July 17, 2008
This is a great product. I saw the video review and I don't think that it is cheap at all. Definitely satisfied after doing much research. Why Best Buy or Circuit City don't carry Delphi anymore is beyond me. I haven't hooked it up to the car yet however. The home unit works great. No problem with signals, etc.
 What a Piece of Junk July 2, 2008

I bought this to Replace a Worn Out Skyfi2 that wouldn't work anymore. I have a Roady XT in my other car, So in Hindsight I should have gotten another Roady XT. I went with the SkyFi3 cause I found the SkyFi2 to more than sufficient.
What I don't Like.
(1)Unit Constantly Locks up from Day 1 -- Still Locks up after updating the Firmware. It gets tiring having to keep resetting the unit.
(2)Delphi used the cheapest materials they could possibly find when building this unit, The Buttons don't always work when pushed, then You find yourself pushing real hard just to be able to change stations, And forget about the remote, It's the same story here.
(3)To this day I've yet to be able to save anything to channel '1' or '9' When you are in the "channel save" mode, pressing either of these 2 channels only causes the unit to revert back to the XM preview channel.
(4)The fact I need to connect to the internet and 'update' the unit. The Skyfi2 wasn't designed to do this and I never, ever had a problem with it until it quit working after 3 years of daily use.
(5)The SD Card Mp3 player, If I wanted to listen to MP3's I'd buy an MP3 player instead of a Satellite Radio. I bought the radio to listen to XM why would some idiot think this was a great feature to include? I'm beginning to think this is what causes the unit to Lockup consistently, cause when it Locks up, It is always on the "Checking For Media" screen at startup.
What I like about the Unit:
Absolutely nothing other than it does occasionally tune in XM Radio.
In Short STAY AWAY from this Junk -- Find a Roady XT or even an old SkyFi2 if you want a good radio. It seems the idea was to offer something more, But the idea failed Big Time.
Hit or Miss June 30, 2008

I purchased the skyfi for use in the office. I got tired of my office radio and listening to the same 5 or 6 commercials followed by the same 5 or 6 songs. I am to lazy to download songs into an IPOD. This is the car unit and does not come with the home setup which I had to purchase separately for $25. It worked poorly in my car and not at all in my home but flawlessly in the office. Yes, I had problems with the unit locking up and there is no clear way to reset the unit. I think the locking up has to do with signal strength. In my office I am lucky enough to be on the right side of the building where the signal is strong and hence the unit is performing as expected.
