Delphi SA10069 Home Adapter Kit for XM SKYFi Roady or Roady2
Delphi SA10069 Home Adapter Kit for XM SKYFi Roady or Roady2Why leave your Roady 2 outside lonely in your car or truck when you can bring it inside and maximize your XM value? I carry my receiver back and forth between the vehicle and my house. Once in the house, I plop my Roady 2 into the home cradle, plug in the power and antenna and use the built in FM transmitter to broadcast XM to the FM radio in my bedroom and the main stereo in my living room, about 40 feet away. Granted, I have a good antenna in my home stereo, but the XM comes through clear. By using the line-out option, you can get even more clarity, but then you're limited to one service point.The home antenna is so powerful that, even though you're supposed to have it in a south-facing window, you might be able to fudge on that. Just use the "antenna aiming" feature on the Roady 2 available through the menu for a more detailed view of what the Roady 2 is seeing through the home antenna. The home kit also comes with a remote control that alone is about worth the...

| Author: JDB (VA) - See all my r.. | One day after activating the Roady 2, I purchased the home adaptor kit. I haven't turned it off since. As with the roady 2 purchase, this comes with more than enough hookups and accessories that you may or may not need. Turns out that the original antenna worked great inside as well but why disconnect and reconnect everything each time you drive or return home. I placed the antenna on the windowsill and that was it. The bitrate is at zero, my stereo receiver picks up outstanding reception without any additional hookups, as do other radios in the house. It takes up no space and offers such a rewarding experience that you'll be happy to say goodbye to free radio and pay for no commercials and a plethora of listening alternatives. | 6 | |

| Author: Robert B. Shaffer "diose.. | Awesome toy now that it's got power. I would give 5 stars however when I opened the package I was disappointed to discover my AC adapter wouldnt plug securely into my Roady2. Perhaps I have an older version? After compairing it to my auto adapter, I found that the AC adapter had a yellow plastic tip about a millimeter or two extending from the plug that shouldnt normally get in the way. I shaved it off with a knife so that it can plug into my Roady2 and have power.The antenna works in my area as I'm surrounded by terrestrial transmitters, and plus my apartment is on the top floor. I just have the antenna sitting in the corner of my living room on a bookshelf. | 6 | |
