 XM satellite radioJan 22, 2007
Though all I needed was a remote, I had to purchase an entire unit simply for the remote. At any rate, the price was worth it to me.
Great little deviceMay 24, 2006
I owned a Roady 2 - gave that to my son and bought this one. The slide in and out docks were what sold me. It is easy as heck to take from car to home with the slide in docks. Great sound! I used the radio frequency tuner which was OK - but on long trips you have to switch to a different un-used station. So I hooked it up to the aux inputs both in car and at home and sound improved and no station switching needed! Love this thing. The screen did scratch easily it seemed - I have since added one of those screen overlays made for PDA's - works good. Do that FIRST so you prevent any scratches. Also - if you experience the "whine sound" that someone else commented on - you may need to buy a ground loop isolator for the car - Radio Shack - $20.

 great except for one big little thingJan 13, 2006
A great system except for one thing, a very high frequency is emmitted from the reciever which I find extremly enoying. However, other people do not seem to hear it.

 Full featured but frankly, I prefer another modelDec 06, 2005
I have both this model and the competing Roady2. I have to say that though this model has a lot of features, the Roady gets my vote overall. Why?
1. The screen on the Audiovox scratches easily. Really easily. Be warned.
2. The scroll category feature is great! but....for some reason, it's confusing to scroll through the presets. Wants to scroll through one category only (say rock or talk) and then I have to whack a couple of buttons to get to a less-often listened-to station. I have no time to do this while dodging local drivers on THEIR cell phones in their SUV's combing their hair and applying their mascara. It's all I can do to watch out for them, let alone tune this thing. So presets that are easy to use are a must.
3. The unit is about 10 to 15 percent larger than the Roady2 and space is at a premium in my rather small sedan. I have yet to find a good place to mount the thing.
I have to confess I am not yet "au fait" with the instruction manual (what! me read a manual?) and this WOULD of course help, but frankly, the Roady2 is a lot simpler and easy, so it gets my vote over this perfectly fine, very attractive but more complicated unit.

Should of shopped at Amazon and not the well known discount super center!!!Nov 27, 2005
I just purchased the Jensen JXM900CNBA at a well known discount store/super center. Paid about $50.00 more for a older MDL. I should have shopped here at Amazon and would of purchased the latest MDL at a much lower cost. In any event I do like my receiver and like most of you, I to don't listen to regular FM/AM radio anymore. I definately like the fact about no commercials,that was the selling feature that got me to finally purchase this item. I am ordering the in house docking station so to enjoy on my home system. O yea I will be buying from Amazon as well. It pay's to compare before you buy.
