XM Upgrade?

[Hottub]

<p>I've got the wife hooked up pretty nicely, but my stuff, although funtioning perfectly well is a bit antiquated.</p><p>I am running a SkyFi 1 and a Delphi Boombox. One of the reasons I haven't upigraded is because I MUST have my boombox. Anywho, our friends at MyRadioStore currently are having a sweet deal on a <a href="http://www.myradiostore.com/bundles/roady-xt-bundles/sa10276-xm3120.html" target="_blank">Roady XT and Altec Lansing Boombox</a>. Is there any reason I should or should not upgrade my tried and true equipment?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS. And if I do, does anyone want my old gear?</p>

I want it! Unless you're charging more than shipping for it.

<p>If you are giving away your old gear, I have a suggestion.</p><p>Organize some sort of contest where the winner gets the gear. That would insure maximum entertainment value to the rest of us board members.</p><p>Just say the word and people can start throwing out contest ideas.</p>

After pondering all day, I am going to go for the upgrade. It may be unnecessary, but I'm worth it.

<p>Do you guys know if the Roady 2 peripherals (home antena, stand, etc) are compatible with the Roady XT?&nbsp; </p><p>I have been seriously considering an upgrade myself, but don't want to spend a ton of money recreating my auto and home setups.</p>

[riverofpiss]

I have the Delphi boombox with CD player and I love it.&nbsp; I upgraded to the Skyfi 2 from the Skyfi 1 for real cheap recently cuz of the new Skyfi3 being released.&nbsp; I also just bought an Alpine deck with XM built in but won't put it in my boat until spring time.

[Hottub]

I belive that they are separate car kits. But the package I am getting comes with the car kit, and the boombox. All I should have to do is change the cradle. I think the antenna is universal.

Is this normal??...I have a roadyxt with home kit...So my wife can watch tv I have a set of pretty nice SONY radio headsets...I just set them to recieve the roady signal...I realize i have to stay with in range of the roady but it works great for having privacy and xm head phones without buying them...

[Hottub]

If you are swapping, no. If you are adding an additional unit, yes. Another 6 bucks/month.

<p>I wear a headset around the house all of the time.&nbsp; Especially if my daughter is watching TV, I will get my radio and pop one earbud in.&nbsp; It's great!</p><p>When I can't sleep I will also listen to headphones while I'm in bed.</p>

They emailed my the radio ID last night, so I could have it swapped. I did that while it was in the back of the UPS truck. It was out of the box ready. I am already familiar with the Roady XT since my wife has one already. It is perfect for us. Small with a nice display.</p><p>As for the boombox, I couldn't be happier. The size is tiny, but the sound is HUGE! It blows away the Delphi in all respects.</p><p>For $59, I would not think twice.&nbsp;&nbsp; Go for it!!!</p>

<p>I still have an original Roady in my work truck. I play it through the FM Plug In Modulator (Looks like a big cigarette lighter plug) and it totally blows any other satellite modulator out. My father was following me in his car with his Sirius on (I know, I know, but he wanted it for NASCAR) and he couldn't even get reception because my signal was too strong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I've gone into customers places many times and if they have 107.3 on I get to hear Ron and Fez while I'm there and they have no idea what's going on... LOL...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My Roady XT or whatever the new one is is also pretty strong. I didn't attach the doohickey that they sent with it to lower the signal strength...&nbsp;</p>
