Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for use in the car, through your home stereo, and even in Audiovox's compatible boombox, the SIR-PNP3 Sirius plug-and-play tuner receives more than 120 streaming satellite radio stations, including stations with commercial-free music, talk, sports, and children's programming. Listeners will need an Audiovox home or car kit to use the tuner, but once equipped, they can transfer the tuner between the house and the car stereo as often as they like, negating the need to buy second and third receivers. The tuner is remarkably easy to use, with a large 2.5-by-1.38-inch amber backlit LCD screen that displays the artist info, song title, category, and time, along with a 0-9 number pad and a wireless remote that allow for direct channel access. Users can manually adjust the contrast and dimming level for better viewing, or they can set the display to Auto Dimmer so that it instinctively adjusts to the ambient light level. The receiver also includes a built-in FM transmitter that broadcasts satellite tunes through any FM radio--a bonus for people whose car stereos don't come with auxiliary inputs. Otherwise, most users will choose to connect the tuner (via one of the Audiovox kits) to a stereo's RCA jacks or 3.5 mm auxiliary input for better audio performance.
The SIR-PNP3 is equipped with a number of convenient user options. Most listeners will appreciate the 30 presets in three separate banks (A, B, and C), along with the preset scan function, which browses among the preset channels rather than perusing the entire station catalog. In addition, the receiver includes a preset list mode that displays the preset channels either one at a time or six at a time, with listings by channel name, artist, or song title. To save time, listeners can also directly access Sirius channels by their three-digit channel numbers rather than paging through the channel directory. Additional features include a Look Ahead function, which checks the current playlist of other channels without leaving your current station; an S-seek function that searches the Sirius signal for songs or artists that match your pre-determined favorites; and several time-based options, including an alarm clock, a sleep mode, and a program alert that automatically activates the radio and turns it to a specific program at a preset time.
The tuner measures 4.5 by 3 by 1.5 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Listeners will need to purchase a compatible car kit, home kit, or boombox along with a subscription to Sirius to enjoy satellite radio programming through the tuner.

Sirius Satellite Receiver.......2007-11-03
Excellent. Based on other reviews, this is the best receiver of the bunch.
Sirius,good; information, bad.......2007-06-27
While we really like our second Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver, we were not so pleased with the seller which/who neglected to let us know that we would have to buy the hook up equipment separately. What we got was unusable unless one already had a boom box (another $100.00+ expenditure). We happened to have a boom box which we had been using with our first receiver, and so we have a permanent receiver now with the boom box, but we had wanted it for our truck.
Good for 2 years of daily docking........2006-03-10
Sirius radio content is great. I like the fact that the Audiovox docks in the house and car. Except for the fact that it got hot, it performed very well. I've had the SIR-PNP2 since January 2004 the unit died February 2006. The pins from the socket on the inside of the unit wore down and the audio started cutting in and out. The main board has a socket that takes pins from the extranal socket that fits the docking stations. So, if you're going to buy this type of unit expect it to wear out after a couple years of taking it between the house and car every day. My wife leaves hers in the car, so she's fine. I switched to a home based unit (SR-H550) to make MP3s of my favorite shows. NPR is on FM for the drive to and from work anyway. The SR-H550 sounds better and doesn't get even get warm.
Will never listen to regular radio again.......2006-02-22
Sirius Satallite Radio is probably one of the best purchases I've made in years. This has something for everyone..even truck drivers. What I like about it is the commercial free, uncensored music and of course Howard Stern.
the reciever gets warm, which I thought was a bit weird. Other than that I had no problem with it. The reception however, is horrible and drove me absolutly nuts. dont bother purchasing Sirius without an antenna. I purchased the Terk SIR6 Outdoor Home Antenna and I'll update it on how it improved
UPDATE: Reception is horrible where I live...even with the new antenna...if you live in an area with trees, and you have no roof access, dont bother getting sirius satallite radio. Pisses me off that I didnt do the homework that I should have before I bought all of this
Outstanding!.......2006-01-03
I purchased this receiver just after Christmas and I couldn't be happier. Extremely user friendly once installed(which is good because the manual is somewhat confusing). I especially like the scrolling knob and simple remote that makes things easy. I installed the antenna right on my dashboard up near the front of the windshield and I have perfect reception (I'm in the St. Louis metro area). I recommend purchasing the home kit as well. I did and I have it using the FM modulator to use around my home and I'm able to receive a strong signal throughout most of my home. Beware, however, that this is a discontinued product so the accessories are limited...and once they're gone, that's it. I'm also very happy with the Sirius programming. Great music selection as well as talk,news and entertainment. I believe satelite is still in its infancy and will continue to get bigger and better. Good luck and hope this helps.

A so -so product.......2006-10-04
I have had the same issues with my Sirius SIRCK3 Mobile dock... I have had it for about 8 months and then one day the Mobile dock just stopped working. The one for inside the house works fine so I know it is the car adapter... and I really like the receiver, but the mobile dock is a real bummer. $50 down the drain!
Positioning and Power cord problems.......2006-08-19
When I installed this, I had difficulty getting the Sirius unit positioned properly to view it from the driver's seat. I then figured out (it wasn't in the instructions) how to "click" it into different positions, using enough force, it seemed, that I thought the plastic would break.
It worked OK for about a year, then stopped working. I knew it was the car kit because my Sirius unit still worked in the home kit. I cannibalized parts from the home kit, which is very similar to the car kit, until I located the problem which was the cigarette lighter power cord. Broken conductor, probably, as the fuse was OK. The wires in the cord are quite thin. I went to Radio Shack and they have a power cord that worked and looks to be of higher quality, the same guage wire as most of your lamp cords at home. With a polarity adapter, it now works again.
SIRCK3 Mobile Dock.......2006-05-02
My unit works flawlessly. I have two of these, one for my truck, the other for my wife's car.
After using this kit for a while , I decided that the best way to install it was to use an aftermarket "vechicle specific" mount for both cars. That way, I don't have to use the generic one supplied with the original kit. I didn't want to just tape it to the dash, and drilling was out of the question.This seems to be just the ticket. Although the aftermarket mount cost about $30.00 more, it installed easily and really makes a clean look to the satellite radio.
The 21 foot antenna cord makes hiding it out of the way a breeze. I had to route the antennas under the carpet and center consoles of both cars, but it did get rid of the clutter of wires.
Works Great.......2006-04-01
I have had absolutely no problems with my car kit. The design is actually pretty good, and the self-stick tape holds it in place quite well. I have had no problems with power ... the thing just works. Too bad the PNP3 is discontinued. It was one of the best Sirius tuners out, and the home and car kits were both great.

electrical connection only works sometimes.......2006-07-25
Now I have to buy a whole new kit because I don't want to deal with Audiovox to get this one fixed and I don't want to have to buy a whole new receiver and kit for the car. Oh well. They're going to get another 50 of my dollars. Sirius does rock, though.
Sirius Home Kit.......2006-07-11
Works great! We were tired of switching the dock from inside the house to the patio everytime we wanted to spend time outside. Now we have music wherever we go!
Radio & Kit: Great, FM Strength: Not so great.......2006-04-16
I got my HK3 Home Kit for PNP3 a week or two ago and it was easier setting it up than it was in the car. I have my antenna sitting on my front yard (I cut a small hole in the bug screen in the window) and I plugged the RF cable in the front of the TV. In between, my satellite radio. Unfortunately if I want to go upstairs and want to listen to this, I get good signal from the radio if I hold my clock radio broadcasting from the satellite radio, but if I put it down or walk away from it, it just goes to static. I really hope that Audiovox makes a PNP4 with a better FM strength.
great seller.......2006-03-26
this is a great radio, the only downside is there is no fm, other than that its great
Awesome product!.......2006-03-15
This helps my Sirius addiction in that I get to carry my receiver to my home stereo and listen there instead of just in the boombox (which is more cumbersome to transport than you may think).
I love it.
