 Unreliable, Don't Bother! October 1, 2007
I have been through 2 Delphi XM recievers in three and a half years. They both broke after about a year and half. Go with Pioneer! They have a much more reliable product.

Well, as others have mentioned, the sound is fine. But, I had no complaints about SkyFi2's sound either. And beyond that, I've had nothing but trouble since I opened this thing.
1) It's very slow to boot up.
2) It is very slow to change channels and to register the buttons you press.
3) The remote is not as useful as the SkyFi2's remote.
4) The car console doesn't have a "jump" feature like the SkyFi2's did, so you need to use the remote to do that.
5) The "enter" button only sometimes acts as an "enter" button, and the rest of the time it changes the display mode, and there's really no way to predict when it'll work correctly.
6) This one's not the unit's fault, but I made sure my new car had an auxiliary input so I can hook up the radio--but when I hook it up to the car's power and auxiliary jack at the same time, there's a loud, high-pitched feedback, and the only way to avoid that is to not plug it in. But if it's not plugged in, it obviously doesn't work. So it can't work with the auxiliary jack.
7) The FM transmitter is not very good, and I had to purchase a separate modulator to hook up directly to the FM antenna.
I honestly wish I had never upgraded, and I'm going back to the SkyFi2 as soon as I finish typing this.

After two weeks with my SkyFi3 I'm returning it. On paper this is a great piece of hardware, but the constant lockups and choppy recording of shows make this thing completely frustrating to use. If Delphi hasn't managed to get the bugs worked out after several months on the market they may never get them fixed.
I really want to like this unit May 23, 2007

Well, it is good to know that I am not the only one experiencing lockups. The radio works well, but I am most disappointed in the software package that they are using for the mp3 playback. I loaded up a 2 GB card all set to listen to my favorite stuff. The player first takes forever to read the card. This is where most of my lockups happen. I am trying again with much less music stored, and it takes far less time. My biggest gripe is why I can't just open the folder of music and play it. In order to play the musical Wicked, I have to create a playlist for it, because there is no way for it just to play in order the way it is in the folder. I hate having to make playlists and unless you want to listen to say, all of U2's music instead of individual albums, you will have to make a playlist for every album. What a pain!
Nice try... April 18, 2007

I had the SkyFi3 for 3 weeks. FM signal (even with attena connection) is week in urban areas. Audio out function failed. Being able to record content is great, but it is clumbsy to navigate and edit your recorded content. When you take it out of the package it feels light and "toy like" and it turns out - it is. I traded in for SkyFi2 - a much better model - though it does not have recording or mp3 functions - nonetheless it is a much better model. Delphi simply tried to do too much in this one. nice try, maybe next time.
