Pros Comes with everything you need plus great accessories, portable, records 5hr for later...

Cons Mediocre controls and sometimes confusing functions, recording feature needs work, lots...

Overall Thoughts:
The Pioneer AirWare is a great starter radio for XM users. It comes with two kits, one for home and one for car use making it quite competitive with most other XM radios. The portability is a nice added bonus if you can sit it on a table while reading outside, but it's not a... Read full review »

An excellent start to the satellite audio age

Pros Great automobile reception, menu navigation, music selection, setup.

Cons Somewhat bulky, lots of cables, tape adapter not ideal.

Recommended it? Yes

I've only had this product for a week, so I can't vouch for its longevity, its durability, or its performance over time. I can, however, vouch for the fact that it performed flawlessly over a 1,000-mile drive.

I bought my receiver from Costco in a bundled package that included both car and home kits. I have not yet tried the car kit. I use this receiver only in my home.

Pros Easy installation, easy to use

Cons Screen doesn't have much space for channel name or number, better read that manual

Recommended it? Yes

I spend a lot of time in the car. A day where I'm not in the car for over an hour each way is a rarity. So, for Father's Day, my wife got me the XTR8CK Satellite Radio Receiver with car kit.

The XTR8CK is a widely sold unit -- my wife got mine at Target. The entire setup is designed for... Read full review »
