Sirius XM SkyDock
Super Cool!!
Written by TW from Old Hickory
Oct 26, 2009
The SkyDock is "super cool!" as my wife likes to say. It's the best satellite radio experience yet. They made it incredibly easy to setup. Plug the SkyDock into the cigarette adapter. Plug your iPhone into the SkyDock. Tune your FM radio to 88.1. At this point you can already play your iPod library or any streaming radio app through the FM transmitter. It's that easy! To get XM satellite radio, just a few more steps. Plug in the antenna. Download the free SkyDock app from the AppStore. Call or go online to setup your account. That's it! The SkyDock app is very polished and is really easy to navigate while driving. If your looking to add satellite radio to your car and you already have an iPhone/iPod Touch, the SkyDock is absolutely the best way to go!! …More

XM SkyDock
Written by MP from Mount Vernon
Oct 25, 2009
A great product. The sound quality using the recently FCC approved XM PowerConnect technology is amazing. Coupled with the free XM Sirius application on your iTouch, it's very user friendly, with far more features than any other XM/Sirius radio on the market. Plus, it's only a few finger touches away from playing all the music downloaded on your iTouch. …More

Sirius XM SkyDock
Horrible Reception
Written by AM from orange park
Dec 12, 2009
I was able to use the skydock in my BMW 525 despite what other BMW owners have mentioned. XM was difficult to get on the phone to initially get the service working. They couldn't identify my radio ID but initially but eventually got it working. My issue now is the reception. Even with the antennae on the roof, the service is intermittent. I never had this problem with my old starmate on sirius. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I am considering sending the skydock back and cancelling the service. When it works, it's great, it's just my service is so sporadic. …More

SkyDock is awesome!
Written by WS from Indianapolis
Dec 8, 2009
I have a Volvo S80 and it was going to cost me $500-600 to get XM radio activated in my car, even though it was supposedly satellite ready. I ordered SkyDock on the Black Friday sale for @$90, and it really works great. My car has an auxiliary input for the for the Radio, and the sound quality is awesome. You can place your favorites on your iPhone app, scroll between stations and see what is playing and select - really pretty cool. I like a variety of music and it is always difficult to find good classical and jazz stations in the boonies-not anymore! Overall I am extremely well pleased. …More
