SiriusXM SXSD2 Portable Speaker Dock Audio System for Dock and Play Radios (Black)

I bought this to replace my really old one that got damaged. This is a great unit. You can use it anywhere. Cottage, camping, backyard etc. Recommend these to anyone!

The Sirius radio is not included in this item. I was lied to by Sirius and told that once my radio arrived, I could just plug it in and listen. What a joke. You need speakers and you need to set up the antenna, and then you need to activate the radio even if you have a car radio already. The station lineup for a home radio is not the same as a car, but it's very close. Look up the home radio stations on Sirius.com before you get a home radio or you might be disappointed. The radio directions also say you MAY connect it to speakers. Another joke. You HAVE TO connect the radio to speakers unless you don't want to hear sound. To active your radio, call 866-463-5326, have the radio number handy. It's on the end of the box. this direct number to the set up will avoid some of the on-hold phone time and some of the prompts. This set up is easy. I am not technically gifted,but capable. You do not need to face the antenna to the south if you are in an urban area with a strong terrestrial signal. My antenna is facing northeast and going through window shutters and trees, and it is a perfect sound with zero static. Every other radio I have had in my home has loud static. Once you have the Sirius radio and this dock, you will have two antennas and two remotes. The dock radio has a + and - for volume control with the Sirius radio control does not. Weird. I had to set favorite stations with the Sirius remote, since favorite settings didn't work for me on the dock remote, so keep both. It's also an extra battery. The battery compartment says to put a paper clip in the hole and the cover will slide off. I could not get that to work, but hopefully you can. The battery is included and in there. After Sirius lies, and some set up time, I am happy with this purchase. Hopefully, it won't stop working in a few weeks like others have said, but so far so good.

The delivery was quite fast, given that I am in a very remote place. It was well packaged and has great sound. Glad I ordered it.

This is a quality product, with great sound. While it just arrived and I have only used it twice, it looks like it will do the job quite nicely. I have been researching for months, the various "sound boxes" designed for construction sites, etc. Most of them had more features than I needed, as I only wanted something while working on backyard projects. I already had the Sirius Radio Starmate 8 home/vehicle unit, and just needed something that would work well with it. I finally stumbled upon this unit, which is exactly what I needed. It makes sense that Sirius Radio would make something like this, and I should have known about it. Set-up was easy. The small Sirius radio unit docked perfectly in place. I was pleased to see that there is a very long cord on the antenna (25 ft.?) , which adds to the flexibility of where one can use the unit. All I did was put the Sirius radio unit in place, plug the unit in, aim the antenna to the south, and I was good to go. I used some zip ties to hold the transformer unit in place on the back of the unit, leaving only the 3 foot plug-in wire loose, which will hold down the clumsiness of the cord (I zip-tied the transformer to the bar on the back of the unit designed to wrap the extra antenna cord around, which worked well). I like the way that the small antenna unit is held in place by plastic connector pins on the top of the stereo unit. The only thing that takes getting used to is the way that the handle does not fully extend to an upright position--this is so that the antenna unit is not blocked by the handle. In summary, the unit is easy to set up and has great sound. There is more volume than one will likely ever use. As someone pointed out, a treble-base adjustment knob would be a nice addition. Also, I would pay extra to have a built-in rechargeable battery, as using D-cell batteries seems like old-fashion technology today. My only complaint is the 90-day warranty. Such a short warranty does not say much about the manufacturer's faith in the product. I solved this by purchasing a 3-year warranty from a third party.

After reading the reviews of some getting remotes and others not. Mine didn't come with a remote! 😤 I emailed them, they replied immediately and I received my remote (battery included) just now in the mail! 😁 Thanks Wiji for packing my box & SiriusXM for fulfilling my order!!
