I havent had any problems with it, I just hate the way it works

malaki, i used to get the good units... i gave up on them. i have way better luck with the cheapo units. my last one lasted 3 years. i just got Audiovox onyX Receiver & Car Kit (PowerConnect) - Sirius XM Radio Receivers, Home Kits and Car Kits, Speaker Docks, Antennas, and more at MyRadioStore and i love it. BUT i do hate that there is no remote that came with it. i cant record shows but for the money you can not beat it. plug it in to the aux port and just enjoy. i've had it for about 4 months and not one problem ever with it.

I've got the Onyx already. My Roady2 died sometime in the middle of last year. I'd just like to have the recording functions of the mp3i.

I've had 2. I'm like you a lot of the shows I want to listen to are on at the same time. So I record about 10hrs a day and listen when I can later. It's no where near as good as the INNO was but if you want to record it's about the only viable option. If you install an external ant it will eliminate most of the problems with it stopping recording due to signal loss. The one complaint I have is if the wheel quits working which is what happened to my first one you are screwed as this is the only way to change channels and get to your recorded shows. I also wished the pause time was a little longer, on my last Sirius unit it would pause 1hr 45min this thing is about 35min tops, and it is annoying the way it skips to live programming at the end of the pause. Also another thing I hate about it is if you are listening to a recorded show and it's time for a scheduled recording it goes live to the recording and you manually have to go back and find your spot you were listening to on the recorded show, the INNO just went back to the place you left off, very frustrating. But much like everything else at XM since Sirius took over it's been pretty much down hill since. Don't call it a merger either it was a complete and total takeover.
