finally got myself XM connected yesterday. did the one year plan for now. have to admit it was a joy to hear the replay at midnight. it didn't seem as good as the old days though, i heard just a few callers and nothing too funny. i was also taken back a little by Ron and the F word. I remember the NY days where i would listen with my daughters and they were really getting into the show, thinkin about calling in, etc. now i think i would feel a little embarrassed listening while with my daughters.there is something different about live radio than let's say a movie where people curse. live radio makes you feel you are sitting with the guys, much more personal.  you can tell that cursing is sort of used as a crutch when nothing else funny comes to mind.   fez doesn't curse or at least i didn't hear it and he sounded greatdon't mean to sound like a prude, just how i felt.  i always feel it's funnier saying What The F, and Sip the D, instead of actually saying the word....

R&F still don't curse alot, I think Fezzie has really only done
it once or twice.  They don't use it as a crutch, it's just
natural, conversational cursing.Which unit did you end up getting?

Not this time...I still have all of yesterday's show, but today's recording only goes up to the end of the "Opera Boy" segment. I missed the whole rest of the show! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!

That's really weird Papa, mine hasn't done that yet.  Maybe there was a power surge?  I always get the most recent recordings and it recycles the oldest recordings. Also, is anyone else getting a lot more than the supposed 4-5 hours of recording time? I'm getting like 8 and a half hours if we're talking straight Ron & Fez.  Almost three days worth of shows before it starts trimming.

also getting 8+ hours of recording on 202.  The reason is that the
talk stations are encoded at a lower bitrate than the musc stations so
you're able to record more using the same amount of memory. 
Everyday I record O&A then Ron & Fez and I can listen at my
leisure throughout the rest of the day.

I like my Pioneer Airware alot, HOWEVER there is a glitch. When I record programs on the scheduler, I set the time/channel and turn the unit off. It records while the unit is powered down. When I return to listen to my programs, the unit goes to the end of the recording and plays the oldest section on the Airware. That's fine BUT when I hit the rewind button to hear what I just recorded, sometimes quite a few times if its a 3 or 4 hour program, the entire memory gets wiped when it's done too fast. I'm womdering if anyone else can replicate this problem on the Airware?

You can add a new radio online, but you have to talk to someone to remove the old one. When I called to remove one from my accoount (because I sold that unit to my boss), the people were EXTREMELY helpful and friendly. They even gave me 2 free months of service on that radio, so we could wait until December for the transfer.

ok, I bought my wife a MyFi last month for christmas. Last week, it just stopped working, won't turn on, nothing. has this happened to anyone else? I'm thinking it was just a bum unit because she said she never had good reception with it, even with the body antenna.  thoughts?

I wanted to say something about the Roady2.  I'm not quite sure why you're all hatin' on it. i like my Roady2 as well.  i didn't run the antenna so it sits on the roof or near the fm antenna. i velcro'd it to the inside of the windshield near the top and the reception is good.  it's sweet to never hear static or interference like on the regular radio but driving and hitting dead spots can be a little pain in the ear...

I actually did run the antenna out my hatchback and up on the roof.  I had been wedging it between the glass and the defrost vents under my windshield.  The second I put it on the roof I got absolutely NO static.  I do still get a few dead zones out in the boonies, but a lot less now that the antenna is on the roof.

Is there anyone else who has used both the MyFi and the Roady2? I find the radio signal on the Roady to be better than the MyFi. Not only do I get more interference with the MyFi, but it's signal gets "trumped" more often by other vehicles using radio signals.I'll be driving down the road, and suddenly get someone else's country music, or even worse... the other day I got someones Disney movie (from their in-minivan DVD player). Sometimes, I get static that only goes away, if I hold my hand over the MyFi. Weird weird stuff, this new fangled technology can bring!

Let's get the CES news deluge started with the smallest satellite radio EVER:<img width="405" height="367" border="0" src="http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/XM-Passport.JPG" />Yes, that is an actual XM receiver. The XM passport is the next generation of Connect and Play. Let me explain: Last year XM introduced the Connect and Play antennas. This was a cheap and easy way to integrate Xm into consumer electronics. So let's say you by a stereo receiver that is XM ready. Now all you have to do is buy an XM Connect and Play antenna, which contains it's own radio ID and satellite chipset. It was designed to allow electronics manufacturers to easily and cheaply make XM ready receivers.The plot thickened when that Samsung unit was announced and it was to use Connect and Play technology. If using existing technology, you'd need to have a separate account for your home dock and car dock when using the samsung unit. Until this is released. That little chip is its own radio and slips into the Samsung and Pioneer units. So you will only need one account to use it wherever you want. Not terribly exciting, I'll admit, but for the tech heads out there I know you'll enjoy how far technology has progressed that XM radios have shrunk to the size of a flash memory card.

Here are some details about the Samsung unit courtesy of Orbitcast: The Samsung Helix features include:

<ul><li> Live XM Satellite Radio on the go, in the car, or at home</li><li> Flash memory for MP3 files, WMA files, and XM content; Samsung Helix

can store up to 50 hours of XM programming.</li><li> Color display screen</li><li> Easy-to-use interface, which lets users save and delete content, create

personal playlists, and find and play back their favorite songs</li><li> XM + Napster feature that allows users to bookmark the names of songs

heard on XM, connect the Samsung Helix player to the PC, and purchase

the bookmarked tracks instantly from the XM + Napster online service.</li><li> The ability to store XM content by song, by channel, or by scheduled

session</li><li> Ability to create unique playlists with a mix of XM content and

personal music collection</li><li> Enhanced storage features, which allow more recording sessions at

various times, as well a memory buffer for "catching" the beginning of

a song</li><li> Customizable stock ticker and sports ticker</li><li> Category list for saving and accessing favorite channels</li><li> TuneSelect, which alerts the listener to a favorite artist or song

whenever it is played on any XM channel</li><li> Integrated, wireless FM transmitter for beaming XM to any FM radio

frequency.</li></ul> The Samsung Helix comes packaged with all of the accessories
needed for portable or home use. An optional car docking station is
available separately.Quite frankly, I'm a bit disappointed. $400 and no car dock? This is as big a ripoff as the S50, even considering that it can receive a live signal. Including the home dock instead of the car dock like with the S50 makes a lot of sense, but when you have to lay down $400 for what is essentially a 1 GB flash MP3 player that can receive a satellite feed, you should be getting everything you need. Awesome product, horrible value.

That passport is close to what I have been wishing they would make for XM....a micro antenna. I have been envisioning an xm antenna and software packed onto a SD card. Such a device could then be used with any PDA out there. Imagine, taking your palm pilot or pocket pc and listening to live xm, and having the ability to record as well. They already make similar cards with FM antennae.

HBox

01-04-2006, 02:50 PM

Just to clarify, you'll still need to use an antenna with the Passport (not a Connect and Play antenna, just a normal one). You probably already knew that, but just in case. Everything needed to decode the satellite signal and send out an audio signal is in that little card.And some more news on the Nexus. Unlike the Pioneer Inno and the Samsung Helix above, the Nexus is the Samsung unit previosuly mentioned in the thread. It can record the satellite signal while docked and play MP3s, but unlike those other two units it can't recieve a live satellite signal on its own. It also has a black and white display instead of a color. However, it will come much cheaper, with a 512MB version for $199 and a 1 GB version for $250. Each version comes with a home dock. This is a much better value than the Helix, Inno, or S50. It seems like functionality will be nearly the same as the Inno and Helix outside of live reception. Here's the XM page about these new products: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.xmradio.com/ces2006/xmp3.jsp">Link here.</a>

So, does the fact that XM is partnering with both Napster and Windows Media Player signal that the rumors of an eventual partnership between Apple and Sirius will turn out to be true? Looks like the next couple of years will be very interesting.

Apple has said in the past it has no interest in satellite radio. Furthermore, I don't think they'd be interested in trying to fit Sirius's huge, power hungry chipset in an iPod. And, no, I'm not just buying into O&A's whole "Sirius unit's are the size of buildings" joke, look at how XM has fit their entire chipset into the size of the passport. Sirius is nowhere close to that, not to mention that their chipsets run extremely hot. Either company's chipsets are hot and power hungry, Sirius's moreso. Seeing as how both companies are putting out 1GB MP3 players/satellite players for prices higher than most iPods, and I just don't see it happening.

For whatever reason it started recording at like 4am, so it recorded over the first half of R&F. Grrr. Also my radio might be broken. The place where I plug in the headphone jack isn't working right. It keeps cutting out, I've tried other headphones, they're not the problem. I've had my myfi since like December, anybody know if I can get it fixed or replaced?

For the last two days I set my MyFi to record the show.  It did except there is no audio.  All the info is there on the screen and it shows the time moving but no sound.  Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?  I took the battery out and reset everything.  I tried using the 2go button and that worked fine.  I'm going to try and record the replay tonight and see what happens.

I think something may be fucked up with my cigarette lighter outlet, but whenever i go over a bump in my car (and sometimes for no reason) my myfi shuts off and then comes back on.  sometimes it comes on after a few seconds, sometimes it's quite a while.  i've taken impeccable care of it, but again it may be the outlet (then again it happens when i use the tape adaptor).  anyone had this problem or have an idea what could be going on?

Though I've had problems in the past, my Mify has been doing pretty good the past couple weeks (with the exception of some interference with the radio transmitter). One thing I've noticed (and this is probably not my radio, but the broadcast from XM)... during the midnight replays of R&F, the screen reads Opie & Anthony instead of R&F. Very strange.

Yeah, I figured a new unit was the way to go.  One question, though.  Do any of them have a wireless antenna, kind of like a bluetooth?  I have to take mine out of my work truck every night or else it'll get stolen by the guys who load it at night.  That's what caused this one to get frayed.

I believe the portables have antennas that are easier to take around with you, not sure.  Good question.  I'm the Roady2 guy.  I have one and both my parents have one so it's the only XM radio I know anything about.Awesome radio though.

I had the feeling he took the liberty of bullshitting me. i have a tao and play it wirelessly in my car. the reception is definitely better when it's hooked into the car kit, tho.    i have a tao.  it is great.  i use the car kit and i almost never lose the signal.  I love to set it up to record at anytime i need.

I have a Helix (sister to the Inno)  Works greak at work.  Must be the Repeters.  You must have a car kit to play with fm transmission, and you must have an antenna if it is docked.  I use it at work without a dock and it works great. My only complaint is Battery Time.

Picked up the Inno and gave my Tao to my brother. No repeaters up near my house, so the external antenna is a must unless I'm outside with unobstructed sky.The power supply for the Roady is different from the Inno, thought the antennas (home and car kit) are the same. This was good as I have had the same antenna running hidden through my car since I had a roady. Just had to switch cradles and power. Same for the home kits.Having had a Roady II, a Tao, and now the Inno, I am more than pleased with the Inno.Loved the size of the display on the Roady, great for car use, but lacked a lot of info.Tao was a good first gen portable, loved have the FM transmitter active all the time, but was frustrated by the recording features (no fast forward/rewind, couldn't selectively delete items) and the size was a little too big.Inno is a geat size (smaller than a mid-gen Ipod), the mp3 playback is great, not to mention it handles low bit-rate podcasts as well, and user interface is decent as well, doing a lot more with fewer buttons.I never used the presets on the Tao or Roady, instead just directly entering numbers. On the Inno, you save channels as favorites, then when you hit the right arrow, you get a list of the favorites, and depending on display choice, you can see which artist or song is on, so you can choose to jump or not. Browsing by channel or category is easier as well.Management of recorded content (both satellite and mp3) is good and flexible.My major problems, and I will qualify this by saying that these are far outweighed by the positives, are the following:FM transmitter only works with the car cradle. Unlike the Tao, I can't just take the Inno into another car or use it with something like a clock radio unless they have an aux input. You can use the car cradle without power or antenna to enable the FM transmitter. I do hope they re-enable this feature in future updates. There are also ways to alter the home cradle, though this prevents scheduled recording unless you use a mod that involves a way to switch settings.Display is a little small and sometimes too busy to quickly glance at in car while moving.Recording feature grabs the data info from a different placed than the regular pad data, so R&F and O&A recorded stuff gets less than useful tags when recorded.

I'm about a year behind, but that allows me to learn from all of you that had to figure things out on your own.  Recording the R&F show is easy, but I'm looking for a few quick tips on playing it back.  The more I record the harder it is to play, since the PAD data doesn't always help and the list of tracks just gets longer and longer.  Does anyone have a good/easy way to play the show?Right now I'm thinking that I should: 1. convert the session to a playlist to keep it seperate from everthing else I've recorded; 2. delete the show after I listen to keep the track list shorter. Am I making this harder than I need to?

I delete the shows after I listen to them. I try not to have more than a couple RnF and OnA's on it. Setting a playlist could work.

Only thing you from your car is a power source (cig lighter).

Just go to FIND, then REC SESSION, then select the session (they're in date order) and select play. It will play all the tracks from the recording session, also in proper order. The only thing you may want to do is delete the commercials. Regardless of pad data, its pretty easy to spot commercials/breaks by their length.

Inno/Helix 2.3 Firmware has just been released.<a href="http://fwupdt.xmradio.com/" target="_blank">http://fwupdt.xmradio.com/</a>  (1) Battery life when the radio is off is extended considerably when starting from a fully charged battery. (2) The “/” character is now always displayed correctly when the display is running in the large, scrolling format. (3) Corrected a problem in which the digital clock on the radio occasionally displayed the incorrect time. (4) Users will now be able to play their personal collection of MP3 and WMA files without XM subscriber activation. (5) Daylight saving time date/time handling has been updated to match the DST dates described in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. (6) Audible.com support was added. (7) Short duration of Live Audio can no longer be briefly heard when powering up into MyMusic or MyBooks mode. (8) Previously, the file/path name size of mp3/wma and playlist files had a limit of 100 characters. This maximum file/path name size has been increased to the maximum DOS length of 260. (9) Items which are too long to fit on the screen, such as session names, are now scrolled. (10) Previously, the ffwd/rwnd speed in MyMusic mode was fixed at 5 seconds per jump. Now, the ffwd/rwnd speed accelerates. The longer the button is held, the larger the jump. (11) In live mode, holding the left key down for more than 1 second will activate the jump feature. (12) A memory usage screen has been added, under the "settings" menu. (13) In the artists, categories, by channel, record session menu items a menu option has been added that allows the deletion of all unlocked songs. This includes the sub-menus of both find and organize. The option is only present when potential items to be deleted includes locked content, or content in playlists.

The limited character display in MyMusic is annoying when you have many shows recorded. I can't believe it took this long to correct this problem.

I've been almost 100% satisfied with the BELKIN antenna headphones (for the inno) BUT I live in Texas in an area where there are few trees,  hills,  or large buildings.  If I walk underneath a large tree I still lose the signal for a second or so.  I own a MYFI and the INNO.  Both on exterior antennae at home (a must for my area). There are obvioulsy no repeaters around here.   Both are plugged into stereos via the home cradles.  For me it's the length of the programs or number of programs I wish to record as to what I use.  If it's under 5 hours (like Ron and Fez while at work) I use the myfi.  It's pretty simple to program.  I find it easier than the INNO.  If it's a THEME TIME RADIO marathon it's obviously the INNO.  If it's something I want to "keep or store" it has to be the INNO.I mention the Belkin headphones because it was a tremendous hassle getting the signal on the myfi when out walking and trying to listen live.  I'd get the signal facing one way and lose it altogether if I turned slightly.  More than once I wanted to take the thing and throw it against a wall.  With the antenna headphones on the inno there's virtually no problem getting a signal with little interruption.  But again...few trees,  flat land,  no concrete jungles to trudge through.You're buying at the right time though.  I rushed and bought both units as soon as they came out and payed a premium.  Could have saved hundreds if I'd waited.  Next new tech that comes out I'm going to wait a year or two.Also...Myradiostore.com.   This is going to sound like a commercial but you can't beat their prices or service.  Very pleased with them.  Actually could have saved on the units themselves had I known about myradiostore.com when I bought.  I recommend them without reservation.  I purchased the headphones and some other stuff and their service was fast.  Check around but I doubt you'll beat their prices or service for anything related to XM.

Try hitting "all songs" when you start listening, because if you punch up the first segment, it will keep repeating. I know that has happened to me with music I've put on there.

This is a great thread, I'm looking into an Inno right now. I still have a MyFi, which I record the XM show on, and use Replay AV to catch the FM shows. One of the big reasons to make the switch would be to be able to load the mp3 versions of the FM shows onto the Inno and have everything in one place. Going through the user manual online, it says that the Inno can only take files ripped from CDs, or purchased through XM+Napster. Has anyone loaded other mp3s to the Inno, such as recorded FM shows, podcasts, anything random like that? Thanks.

I've had no problem with any mp3s I've put on there. And it also plays wav files, I believe.

The manual for the Nexus says the same thing, but you can copy things onto it like a thumb drive, and WinAMP is capable of managing it.

What is the difference betweeen an Inno and an Inno 2?

How do pre-sets work on these things? I have a dying SkyFi2 in my car right now and I like it because I can easily hit the preset buttons with out having to look down at the unit. Makes driving easier.

Fallon

05-01-2007, 11:32 AM

I think Inno2 was just built with the home FM mod disabled.

Roritor

05-01-2007, 06:57 PM

Fallon is correct, I'm pretty sure, the only difference in the Inno2 is that the FM Mod is disabled, and you use the new SureConnect. Read up on that, you have to run another wire out of your car to the antenna. http://xmfan.com/viewtopic.php?t=70888 They say it fits with like 98% of cars on the road, but mine would have been one it didn't work with. A LOT of newer model cars don't have the right antenna. I went with the Inno. The FM Mod works well in the car cradle, with the XM antenna attached. I also used to play my MyFi on a home stereo, catching up on recorded R&F over the FM mod. The Inno doesn't work quite as well, but I can get it with just bringing the car cradle in the house with me and sitting the whole thing on top of the stereo's FM antenna.

As for the presets, there aren't any, just the favorites. They appear first as you scroll through the categories. You'd have to scroll up or down and hit the XM button to go to it. I was worried about what would be different between the MyFi and Inno, reading the user manual online helped me figure out the pros and cons. http://xmradio.com/pdf/hardware_support/pioneer/inno/userguide.pdf I'm very happy with the Inno, I record the XM shows, download the FM shows to it, and have R&F going all day.

Weird thing happened today: When I first got my Inno over a year ago, I set the tuneselect for a couple songs. I never got alerted, even when I saw one of those songs was playing. Today, I hear a beep coming from my radio, had no idea what it was. It wast an alert for one of the songs. Why did it start working all of a sudden? I haven't changed anything, still running 1.05 firmware.

ChimneyFish

05-23-2007, 05:12 PM

I have no idea why that would happen. Wierd.
The first unit I bought was a boombox, and I didn't read the manual all that well, because I just wanted to hear O&A. Now the fuckin' thing beeps anytime the comedy channel comes back from a break, every time the soul station comes back from a XM jingle,etc. It's ridiculous. I haven't fixed it yet, because I don't listen to it much, and I have a Nexus.
If you haven't changed the firmware, I don't know why that would be happening.

Look into a car stereo with an aux input, FM modulators kinda blow. If you're hellbent on the radio you have and it doesn't have an aux in. Try disconnecting your cars antenna if you don't use Am/Fm

I'm getting alerts on a regular basis now. The only thing I can come up with is a day or two before this started happening, I got one of the "white screens" on power-up. I used to get them all the time, but this was the first time in months. Anyway, something might have reset then.

I have been using a myfi for the past 2 years, and this week my wife got me an inno for my birthday. I set up the recording for R&F and it works fine, but the pad data for commercials overtakes the R&F audio, and it doesn't split the show when the pad data changes. It will just be an hour long or so chunk of audio that is R&F, but says Quicken Loans, or some shit. Anyone else have this problem?

Fallon

05-31-2007, 05:36 PM

When you record the pad data doesn't change like when you're listening live. Most R&F shows will have between 2-4 long tracks of show and lots of 30 second commercial tracks (which you can delete w/ Napster or Innorg).

Reynolds

06-01-2007, 01:07 AM

On the Myfi, the pad data changed during the show. But with the Inno it doesn't, and the part of the recorded audio that is the show, has the pad data of a commercial. The first time I recorded with it, I went and deleted all the non R&F audio, and was left with just Best of clips, and the 10 second "You are listening to ron and fez on xm202"

actually it changes just like if you're listening live. the only thing is if you record overnight, the pad data doesn't change, so that's how it records. if you record noon-3 you'd pick up all the pad data. i HATE that they don't change the pad data overnight. pure laziness. like if you throw on top tracks it doesn't say "hour long block of rock music" just because it's the middle of the night, all the songs still have their own pad data. for the newer devices that can fast forward this may be no big deal, but if you're recording onto a myfi or such, you end up with a two hour long block that you can do nothing with but listen to straight thru.

end rant.

edit: i don't know if the inno records differently. i'm just talking myfi here.

Just go by how long the track is. If its thirty seconds or a minute it's just a commercial. If it's a half hour to an hour it's the show.

Yeah, I understand all that and that's what I've been doing. My initial question was if everyone's Inno was doing the same thing, or if there was a firmware upgrade that fixed it, or if mine was screwed. Would be nice if it just worked properly and I could delete all the commercials beforehand.

This isn't really about equipment, but I didn't want to start a new thread about it. I was reading an XM radio Mypace Group thread, and the topic of the signal reaching Mexico came up. I posted that I heard the signal goes about 100 miles into Mexico (I either heard that on here or on the show. Not sure which).

Well... One guy said he thought it went much further. Another guy said he was "way south of Mexico right now" and he was getting a signal! I guess when people making statements about Ron & Fez (or rather, Ron Y Fez) being broadcast to two countries, it should actually be at least 3 countries!

assuming your just not getting a signal. bring up the antenna aiming screen under menues. and move the antenna around until you get the best signal strength.

Customer Service is NO help whatsoever. They not only have no idea of the product, but they have no idea if there is a replacement. So now that my children lost my passport, it's only a matter of time before the radio is useless.

What customer support were you trying? If it was XM, try contacting Samsung.

It's the actual receiver for some units. It's a little black square thing. If you move the radio from your home to your car, you have to take the passport with you. A pain in the ass, but allows for a much smaller radio.

I just thought of something else, Grendel...

You can get the Nexus 25 through MyRadioStore for free (after $50 rebate). You can use the Passport from that one on your Nexus 50, and you'll have an extra 25 laying around if you need it.

You will need to contact XM to change your passport number. If they try to charge you an activation fee, just bargain with them. You know... Threaten to cancel.

hello all,

had to replace my old Roady XT with a new Roady XT. There was a 2 week or so lapse between radios, and my old FM frequency (88.5) was no longer viable for my XM reception.

I am currently on 88.9 FM but am experiencing very spotty reception and lots of FM/XM crossover. My usual XM listening occurs in my car and my commute takes me between Somerville, NJ to Paterson, NJ, via 78 Eastbound and up the GSP from MP 52 on 78E.

Any suggestions to improve XM reception? I've run up and down the band and can't seem to find a good FM frequency. I experience the most static in the area around Hillside and Maplewood NJ, where 78 meets the Parkway.

Thanks,

Madbiker

It sometimes seems, to me, like XM just wants to give up the fight and merge. Just so it can be put out of it's misery.
My NEXUS 50 stopped working. Out of the blue. I looked down after transferring MP3s to it and it was stuck on "SCANNING FILES". I waked away figuring it would take a second or two, and when I went back it was still that way. I tried to restart it and it stayed. Eventually I took the battery out and tried it that way and now it was just stuck on the SAMSUNG startup screen. Calling XM has proven once again to be an exercise in futility. The first rep I delt with ( after many transfers) said I should take it back to the BEST BUY where it was bought ( Over a year ago) and they would replace it. Now I don't know about all of you but that just seemed unlikely. When I told him that I was pretty positive that BEST BUY would tell me "no", he assured me that if they wouldn't provide me with a new radio, then XM would. Now this was something tat I wanted to make sure was written down and documented somewhere, and he told me yes that was something that the company would do. You can imagine the laughter I got at BEST BUY when I tried to exchange a defective radio more than a year after purchase. On top of it it turns out that XM does not make these radios any longer. So the new min-tuner and new car kit ( $40 and $70) I bought were now useless. I am into this radio for more money than I realised, and I can use none of it now.
Now comes the never ending line of phonecalls to XM. In one day I needed to call back 11 times. To make this oddessy shorter I will give you the upshot of it all. the rep I was NOW speaking to said that not only was that not XM policy, but there was nothing written in the account about me making ANY of the calls, from first to last. I work for Time Warner Cable, and when one of our boxes goes bad we go out and replace it. To no cost to the customer, after all the subscriber pays for the service not the equipment. Same principal right? No, no no. They kept trying to sell me a HELIX, but my point is that the radio had a defect in it and stopped working through no fault of mine. And I was promised a new one from XM. This kept going in circles like a Marx Brothers Routine, as I kept saying I wanted a new raido and they would agree. They would then say that the fault was theirs, and I would agree. Then they would offer me a radio and i would agree. Then they would tell me how much it was and there was the rub. Eventually I had to point out that I have 6 radios on my account and that as the primary account holder, if I couldn't listen to a radio then NO ONE was going to. So they ofered me a discount on my bill and I'm back to listening to my MYFI, which now that i look back, was really a superior radio anyway. Witht the exception of uploading your own MP3s there is nothing the NEXUS has over the MyFi. So here is a BIG FUCK YOU to XM and their shitty customer service. They should thank their lucky fucking stars for 202, because the rest of this god forsaken monetary sinkhole is just shit. :furious::wallbash:

on the xm site they have a chart showing what can go where. i have the tao, which is the same as the myfi which can go car to dock to portable streaming live. it's larger than the newer models, but serviceable. i believe one of the new models also streams live, but i'm not sure which one.

Here's yet another XM Inno question. I've looked through this thread but haven't really found an answer yet.

Will the XM Inno start a scheduled recording while docked in a car if it is being powered? I was at a Best Buy playing with one recently and I couldn't get it to start a scheduled recording (I believe they had it in a car dock).

I currently use the Skyfi3 to record shows while I'm at work in my car, and then listen to them on my drives. Can I use the Inno for the same thing? The Skyfi3 just doens't seem to work right, it misses a lot of recordings or will randomly delete items or say "Unable to play" on recorded items. And it messes up if I switch through screens too much. So I'd like to see if the inno is a viable alternative.

I've had a long term problem with my XM radio in my car. When it's plugged into the cigarette lighter, I have a ground problem that caused an annoying whining sound. I happened to notice someone had the same problem in an XM Group on Myspace. Someone suggested they get a ground loop isolator. I ordered on from Ebay for 12 bucks delivered, and the problem completely went away!:clap:

If anyone is having a similar problem, I'm posting the link to the one I bought HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=360043200989&Category=32809&_trksid=p3907.m29)

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm looking into buying a skyfi 3 to replace my skyfi 2. Does anyone here have one or used one and can give an opinion on it. I haven't found too many reviews of it. I will greatly appreciate any help i can get.

I don't know if this has been posted anywhere yet, but here is a lot of info about the new XM Portable: XMp3

XMp3 features:

* Record up to 100 hours of XM radio
* Listen to MP3 and WMA files with the microSD card slot (microSD card sold separately)
* TFT display
* Manage your music and playlists with the XM2go music manager software
* One-touch recording for up to 10 hours
* Scheduling recording and automatic recording of favorite channels
* Record up to 5 channels simultaneously
* Includes home dock, power adapter, home antenna, RCA cable, USB cable, rechargeable battery, ear buds and remote
* Dimensions: 3-3/5" height x 2" width x 3/5" depth
* Weight: 3.2 oz.
* Price: $279.99

The device is manufactured by Pioneer, and the model number is GEX-XMP3.

UPDATE: I've updated the bullet points above to reflect the difference between recording XM audio, and storing digital audio. The MP3s can be stored on the microSD cards (not included, but 8Gb versions cost just over $20).

A source tells me that the XMp3 has 2Gb of internal storage space, dedicated for storing up to 100 hours of XM audio. And with the ablity to record 5 channels at once, you'll need every bit of it.

When's it come out?

Though I might wait until after all the merger shit is done and we have a regular lineup.

I believe it is coming out on October 6th when the best of Sirius/XM packages come out.

And it is replacing the Inno

Well then, I hope it doesn't suck. I've been looking to replace my SkyFi2 for awhile now. Balked at the Inno cuz I heard the gen 2 wasn't as good.

Walt1028

09-16-2008, 02:33 PM

Actually I read that the date for release has changed to December

But the Sirius Starmate 5 is going to be coming out October 6th and that will be an A La Carte radio. The XMp3 will not be A La Carte from what I've read. But it will, along with all past, current, future radios be able to get the best of packages. And the Interoperable radios should start coming out May of 2009

and here's a pic from Orbitcast.com that was taken when the Starmate 5 was at the FCC http://i38.tinypic.com/vrbyb8.jpg

I was just thinking today how well my MyFi has done over the years and how I doubted I would be replacing it anytime soon, now this comes along.

I'll have to wait until it has been out for a while before I think about getting one. I would like to hear some reviews and comments about battery life and how good the FM modulator works.

Battery Life should be 4 hrs for live XM, ~16 hours recorded/mp3, 30 day standby

I went to the Sirius site and said they have a complete package for $12.99. Can you subscribe to one channel? Hubby wants the NFL channel. I don't want the other channels.

Ok. Ive had the new one for about a week, and I love it.
I've never had a portable xm radio before... it's a sweet experience.
I walk to work these days, and now I have a reason to walk slower and take longer routes, because I can hear Ron and Fez LIVE on my way to work!

I put it in the charger every night, so I cant tell you about battery life.

Reception is great even when its in my jacket pocket, not directly exposed.

I changed the earbuds cuz the ones that came with it dont stay in my ears.

any questions? I'll try to answer.

I bought it at $249.99 direct from XM, I'm guessing had I shopped, I coulda found it for cheaper.

Can I have it?

Yes, for $600.99

I got it for $229.99 at myradiostore.

I'm kinda pissed, I can't delete commercial tracks like I could with the inno. If I knew that I wouldn't had bought it.

I'm even closer than you.
The best I have found is 88.1

It's OK for the most part, but when you get around the TPK and Newark Airport, SHite!!

From @Orbitcast on Twitter:

Hacked Inno firmware (v2.11) with the FM Mod turned on. Download: http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/Inno_Firmware_with_FM.zip

Inno firmware instructions: Plug in to Inno while docked; Unzip and place file in root directory; then disconnect (safely)

NOTE: Installing the hacked Inno firmware may not work on Inno 2s - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I did this to my inno and the only thing that it made different, aside from unlocking the FM Mod, was change the Pioneer screen to a Samsung Screen.

As previouslt posted, it worked for me, but the FM signal it pushed out doesn't seem to be strong enough for my car stereo.. Any thoughts?

Walt1028

03-16-2009, 04:59 PM

it needs to be in a dock or ac adapter or have headphones in it

it uses those as its FM antenna because the one inside it isn't very big compared to the older radios

Also make sure you have an Inno1 and not the Inno2, because the Inno2 doesn't have an FM antenna inside it. It uses sureconnect as its FM antenna.

You can check which you have:
1. Take battery and check the upper right corner to see what says
2. If you have the sureconnect boot thing in your car for FM radio
3. If it came in a red box when you bought it instead of a black box
