    Of you have one you should update the radio if you haven't done so. The radio that has everything has even more now. Like of you hit a station at the tail end of a good song, the radio will allow you to go back to the beginning, even if you weren't on that station. As a mater of fact, you can now rewind 60 minutes on any channel. Also added time, SiriusXM on demand, and other cool features. Anyone who doesn't have a Lynx should check it out. It's on the Android platform, Bluetooth enabled, has a browser and 200 hours of playback. You can remove it from its dock and listen to shows the radio had recorded from your chosen favorites. Plus extra channels, like Dirty Dog (even dirtier version of Raw Dog) and the George Catlin Channel. Worth the money.

    I almost RAN away when I saw the price BUT I gave in and bought one in March. I wish the screen was bigger and I couldnt believe the car kit is sold seperate!! You dont even get the home kit as its sold seperate also!!! All you get IS the radio for $200!

    I was also disappointed that I cant record 10 of my favorite songs. I do like how you can use the SD card to play your own music BUT if I wanted that I would buy an I Pod!!


    I've subscribed to Satelliate radio for 12 years now and this is the FIRST time I've bought a radio and had to buy the car kit!! I dont wanna wear earphones while driving or listen to the low quality built in speaker, Oh yea the car kit is an ADDITIONAL $60-$70 bucks!!! For that kind of money an I-Pod Touch would be better as you could stream the music with the SiriusXM APP!!



    It does look AWESOME though....especially at night!! LOL

    I'm wanting to get one just waiting on it to come down in price a little. I have a unlimited data plan on my phone so I just stream the on demand and Internet channels thru it.

    Will it play all the online channels or just the normal stuff and the on demand?

    I loved it. I hated it for a while because it would constantly drop signal. But once I updated it now all is good. You really have to like fancy toys to buy this. Yes, it's $250 for the radio and $70 for the dock. I bought mine when it first came out and that's what it cost me. The radio stores around 200 hours of programming, and yes, it has the SD card so you can download more on it. I love the hell out of it, but as its been said, it is a bit expensive.
