I agree about the volume levels

Pros Beautiful sound

Cons Too loud even @ zero. Some crackling in the Aux input

Recommended it? No

This is a nice unit - great sound, but as the previous reviewer states, the volume is still substantial at zero. This is a major design flaw to an otherwise beautiful unit. Oh, one other thing I found is on the Aux input I get crackling on the sound from certain inputs - like it's driving the... Read full review »

Cons Car kit is primitive. XM is for mass market. Don't expect to like every station.

Recommended it? Yes

Living in Southern California, I'm faced with a pretty long commute - a minimum of 2 hours a day on the road going to and from work.

I've been extremely dissatisfied with FM, and there's only so much I can take of AM after the news, traffic reports and a little talk radio here and there... Read full review »
