Amazon.com Product Description Delphi's compact SA10085 Roady2 XM satellite radio is, on average, four times smaller than competing plug-and-play models. While 30 percent thinner and 40 percent lighter than the original Roady, the Roady2 features the smallest satellite-radio antenna available, together with a built-in wireless FM transmitter for easy setup and reception in any vehicle. Just tune your car's radio to any of the unit's 12 FM frequencies and sit back to enjoy XM Radio's 67 commercial-free music channels; 63 channels of sports, talk, comedy, children's, and entertainment programming; and more than 21 channels of advanced traffic and weather information for major U.S. metropolitan areas.
Roady2 offers a convenient scroll wheel, 30 channel presets, and 10 direct-entry buttons. The two-line display offers artist, track, and channel information, and it has seven selectable background colors to achieve the look that suits your style: red, night blue, green, pink, purple, sky blue, and orange. TuneSelect will alert you when a favorite song starts playing on another channel, and the unit's versatile mounting options consist of a vent mount, swivel mount, or Velcro.
Additionally, Roady2 is the first satellite-radio receiver capable of displaying up to 20 customized stock quotes while playing any of XM's 150 digital radio channels. The influential gives the Roady2 five stars, calling it a "brilliant device" and naming it an Editor's Choice. The magazine praises the Roady2 for its small size and rich features.

I purchased a Roady 2 when they first came out. I loved the simple way it worked. I kind of just like a few stations to relax around the house. I did purchase the home kit. I keep the music on all the time so after it died I purchased another (yes I like this unit) However when I purchased a replacement it failed to power up no matter how many variations of power sources. I returned the first unit and ordered a second and it failed to power up. Frustrated I simply decided to find another type of unit. I hope this one works better than the roady2

This unit works well in my wife's vehicle, and is certainly a flexible economic option compared to an in-dash installed component. A reveiw I read noted that placing the antenna on the dash worked well without fishing the wire to the exterior of the car. On a recent road trip, we noticed only a couple of signal interruptions while traveling through an area featuring hills and trees along the road that blocked clear line of sight from the satellite, but otherwise, the signal was strong and clear.The package comes with everything you need and a variety of mounting options. We chose to use the a/c vent mount clip rather than the adhesive mount.One thing that I was very pleased about is the rapid response of the tuner control when browsing channels compared to the dealer installed unit in our other vehicle (that seems to be painstakingly slow). The toggle switch tuner on the Roady2 allows you to move from one range of channels to another very quickly. The Roady2 also has the capacity for plenty of pre-set channels so you can keep your eyes on the road instead of the radio.We also purchased the roady home kit to use with the wired system in our house. This package arrived separately and has not yet been set up, but based on another informative review, I expect that it will work well.

I have been tiring a bit of my iPod, do a lot of driving, and have grown to hate commercial radio stations. Commercials make me sick (guess that's why I watch a lot of HBO). Bought one of these things at Best Buy last weekend after making a commitment to try XM vs. Sirius. Right now, I'm glad that I chose XM (more channels). I love the comedy, news, and rock stations; there's plenty more to choose from.So far as the Roady2, the price is great. You can buy these things (just bought 2 more) on ebay for $20 a piece. Each unit comes with a complete car kit. I also bought the home kit which includes remote. In the car, I route the sound into Aux inputs in my car receiver; at home the FM modulator works just fine. Yes the buttons are a little small, and I agree with the reviewer who suggested the display should have more, but for $20 I can't rationalize (for right now) buying anything more expensive.Installation was a breeze. Mounted antennae on roof/side and routed wires down through weatherstrip. There are plenty of mounting options. Velcroed in the convenient stand. Several reviewers have complained about the wire mess. I love two sided velcro and so have used cable ties to wrap up the cords neatly with some excess stowed under front passenger side mat.The sound from the unit in car or home is great. I live out in the country (Chesterfield County, VA) and have had no problems with reception.I'm a pleased customer, Roady2 and XM-wise. No doubt I could buy a little more convenient and interesting unit, but at three times the price (even with rebates).

If you're a technical person like me and understand how this technology works, you'll realize this is a great product for the price -- despite a few shortcomings.Setup is easy -- it took me 10 minutes to find a location for the included antenna and snake it through my Pontiac Vibe. The built-in FM modulator is excellent. I have had mixed results with other FM modulators in my vehicle, but this unit delivers clear audio on several available FM frequencies. I live and work around Philadelphia, and the FM band is over-crowded, so I'm quite pleased with this. You won't get CD-quality sound through FM, but if you can stand strong-signal FM stations, you'll appreciate the sound quality and it shouldn't bother you at all. Satellite radio, like all satellite entertainment systems, uses compressed audio -- so don't expect CD-quality music. It simply isn't possible with the available bandwidth. It sounds like mp3s encoded at 96kbps, which is good enough for me.The buttons are a little small, and I would have preferred a dedicated "Direct" button to allow direct entry of channel numbers. Instead, you have to toggle between Preset A, B, C, and "Direct" to enter a channel number directly. While driving, that is a distraction. I recommend the remote, which I have ordered. The kit includes a variety of mounting options, none of which work particularly well in my vehicle -- but every vehicle is different, and the manufacturer can't possibly accomodate everybody. I was disturbed with the fact that none of the mounting devices were explained. The kit includes several smaller pieces, and I have no idea what they are for. Managing the two cords (one for the antenna and one for the power supply) around the dash is also a challenge. If you don't like cords dangling around your dash, this isn't for you.I commute nearly 100 miles a day on various roads, and the unit performs well, both in terms of capturing the satellite signal and transmitting the audio to my car's FM radio. Overall, it's a great product for the price.
