Amazon.com Product Description
The smallest and lightest XM satellite radio on the market, the Delphi XM Roady XT comes with everything you need to enjoy more than 150 commercial-free satellite channels in your car while you're driving across town or across the country. The plug-and-play Roady XT is easy to install, with no wires or cables required. Simply dock it on your dash, where
The low profile lets the XT fit nicely on your car dash. |
it uses its built-in FM transmitter to wirelessly transmit the signal to an empty frequency on your FM dial. The device supports more than 100 frequencies, so even users in the busiest radio markets should be able to find several static-free channels. Once installed, listeners will have access to the full XM menu of music, sports, talk, news, children's, and entertainment programming, all without having to listen to a single commercial. The Roady XT also offers 21 advanced traffic and weather channels--yet another reason XM was named best radio service at the 2004 Billboard Digital Entertainment Awards.
To make the listening experience more informative, the Roady XT displays the channel name, artist name, and song title for each XM channel on the bright, high-contrast screen, which boasts seven vivid backlighting colors. Complementing the track info is the TuneSelect feature, which alerts listeners when their favorite songs and artists are playing on a specific channel. Meanwhile, sports and finance fans will delight in the customizable sports and stock tickers; the former runs through the latest scores and schedules for both college and the pros, while the latter keeps track of up to 20 stocks at once.
All the features come bundled in a sleek, innovative housing that's designed to ensure high sound quality while taking up a minimum of space. The diminutive size (it measures a mere 3.7 by 2.2 by 0.61 inches) fits easily in most jacket pockets or purses. This not only helps protect against theft, but also makes it convenient to bring the Roady XT inside for home use (requires the Roady XT home kit).
So don't waste another moment listening to cliché-ridden commercial radio--join the XM revolution today with the Roady XT.

Roady Satellite radio receiver.......2007-11-21
Had to send the first one of these back because it didn't work and couldn't get another one (Target was out of stock) so had to order another from someone else. The second one works fine and also was better priced. Other than the aggravation of having to wait on the new one everything worked out fine. As usual Amazon was very accomadating!
Great Performer.......2007-09-30
I was cautious about purchasing this XM receiver because it appeared so simple and plain in the photos. Don't let that fool you. It has more functionality than my factory XM unit. I found it easy to install myself. The hardest part is running and concealing the wires for the satellite and transmitter antennas and even that isn't very difficult. The kit is pretty complete. I did not use the direct connect because my older vehicle had no (IPOD) input. The kit also contains a cassette input, which I couldn't use either because my vehicle has no cassette deck. The FM method is pretty foolproof. The input connects to your vehicle antenna. I wish it simply went inline between the cable and radio. An inline connector is available, but is not included with the kit. The XM website links you to a site with suggested empty frequencies for your area, which is very useful. I printed several of them for my frequently traveled areas. It was easy to set up, had great reception and lots of info options. If you have ever installed your own aftermarket radio or add-on player installing it is a cinch. Beware that in traveling between highly populated areas with lots of FM broadcasters finding a blank frequency may be difficult and lead to some interference with the FM input. The best way would be an input jack if you have a newer vehicle. I highly recommend this receiver. I also bought a home kit to use this with my second and third home stereos which are not cable connected. Again reception and installation were great. The range on the remote is somewhat limited, but it works in the car for those who are interested. That option would be great for a motorhome user.
Pretty good satellite radio.......2007-08-09
This is my second satellite radio. My first one was stolen out of my car and I got this one because the xm radio website was having a replacement special on them. Here are my thoughts on it:
Pros: I like the multitude of buttons on the device. Its pretty easy to navigate through the channels. I like that the color changes on the display so you can get it to match the color of your displays in your car. I like that it is easily transferable to a home kit. I have had better reception with this radio then my previous one(sportscaster).
Cons: I don't like that you have to buy the remote separately. Thats pretty ridiculous. The standard mounts that come with the device are pretty cheap and worthless. I don't like that you have to use the cradle to hold the player. You cannot plug the power directly into the unit. You have to plug it into a cradle and then the device into the cradle.
Notes and tips on installation:
Since i didn't like the mounting options included with the radio, I purchased a vehicle specific mounting plate (available on the satellite radio superstore - run by xm radio) for ~$35. This has allowed me to have it mounted to the dash much more securely. Then i modified the vent clip mounting option to make the device mount flush to the new bracket. This looks really sharp. I ran the antenna to the outside (roof) of my jeep. The reception has been superb. I am using an open AUX rca jack in the back of my stereo to run the audio into the car. This works really well
I also don't like having the power outlets taken up with plugs and such in my car. Thus i did something about it. I took off the dash board and wired another outlet inside of the dash. I wired this to the cigarette lighter power circuit (i dont smoke and dont ever use it anyway). You can get really nice splicing clips at advanced auto parts or the like to make this really easy. Then i ran a cheap power outlet (from one of those splitters you can get to add more plugs to your car). Then all the wires come out of a small slot and only about an inch of cable is visible for each of the three wires.
I did have a significant amount of hissing and static as was indicated by another review. But this is common for pretty much any cigarette lighter powered electronic device. This is caused by a "Ground Loop". Basically it means that you have some mismatched circuits with different currents and one ground. But fortunately this has an easy fix. For $10 online or $20 at radio shack, you can get a "ground loop isolator." this will prevent the hissing and static. I have absolutely none in my system now. It sounds great.
Overall, this is a pretty good product. I wouldn't pay the msrp of 70 dollars for it, but if you can get a 10 to 20 percent discount then i would recommend it. It certainly will work with out the stuff i did to install mine; however, i feel like mine looks pretty professional and didn't cost me more than 60 dollars in parts.
XM Satellite billing issues.......2007-07-14
I had read this earlier on posts regarding XM's billing practices but thought it was just that person's problem or misunderstanding. Unfortunatley, I was wrong.
When you sign up for XM online you give over your credit card # which is then in their greedy little paws. After trying one of their radios for a few weeks I decided there were some good features but nothing worth keeping. I returned the radio to an area big box store w/o any issues.
I had only paid for a 30 day subscription with my credit card but they continued to bill me.
Links on the web site for unsubscribing lead to another page of links w/o telling you how to unsubscribe! When I called to find out why they were continuing to bill me one representative gave me a runaround saying that even though they could cease billing me they had to bill me as the radio had still been running (this is well over a month after returning it)!. Eventually they agreed to a partial refund even though I do not trust them to not bill again.
For those who might say this is not about the equipment listed on Amazon, I believe it's impossible with satellite radio to unlink the radio programming or the billing issues from the equipment. This is not Amazon's fault, but I think consumers need to be warned.
If you must try XM, I would highly recommend using a credit card that you add money to for any individual purchases not your usual purchases. I do not, however, think they're a very honest company.
Not Backwards Compatible.......2007-07-12
HA! We misplaced our Roady 2 somewhere at the hospital and no one returned it to lost and found. Our car has the Roady 2 Car kit installed by CarToys which cost $320 for installation. Unfortuantely, the Roady XT is not compatible with the prior car kits, which means we would have to pay for Roady 2 car kit removal and new Roady XT car kit installation, meaning a whole nother $320 or more. Something so trivial as this. Therefore we cannot use new technology... Our only economical choice is to be stuck in the past replacing the lost Roady 2 with another Roady 2.

Roady XT Home Kit--Easy to Install.......2007-11-26
My husband and I have been XM subscribers for over two years. We love it. We used a Roady II Home Kit until August '07 when we finally had to replace it. We'd had such good luck with the Delphi Roady II that we decided to upgrade it to a Roady XT. It works great. I had it installed in less than one minute and after a quick equipment switch with XM, we were up and running again.
Good Product.......2007-11-24
Exactly as expected. Remote is useful for use on the road. Audio cables may be too short for some applications, but the antenna wire is quite long.
Nice product, easy setup.......2007-11-17
When I bought my new car, it had builtin XM Radio, making transfer of my Roady XT from my old car unnecessary. The Home kit was just what I needed for using my Roady with my bedroom stereo. It works just as advertised.
Now, I'm the proud owner of 4 XM radios!
Great kit.......2007-11-12
The XT home kit is excellent quality and you really get your moneys' worth. Instructions are easy to deal with. Everything works as advertised.

Great sound, antenna not so great. Headphones meh. . ........2007-12-14
Okay, for the people that have complained about the sound on the headphones. . . I really, truly hope you guys actually went in to the radio's settings itself and raised the volume level there, as well as the volume level on the headphones. The sound is GREAT for this kind of headphone, so I'm assuming that people left it on the factory setting level of 3 instead of putting it up to 6.
The antenna wasn't able to get a signal in most parts of my house, but got one easily outside. The headphones are fairly stiff, and aren't comfortable for wearing for hours. But they definitely get the job done. I would definitely recommend this kind of mobility kit if you were looking at one of those portable XM radios, but already had a Roady XT or the Express that you didn't want to give up on.
Nice but poor volume level.......2007-09-24
Good reception but the volume level is very low. No way to increase it. I'm disappointed in its performance. Hopefully, the manufacturer can correct it.
Gouge by XM....Shame, Shame!.......2007-09-10
XM has deliberately robbed the customer. The first thing that's terrible is that XM deliberately forces us to use a weirdo battery pack instead of our own batteries. Among other things, this means that you're not going to be able to listen for more than an hour.
Second, the design of the belt pack is terrible and destroys the unit, which means the abused customer must now buy more of these $100 units; the connector between the two components is stressed and wears out because the units flop around as the customer walks around.
Third, the earpieces themselves have a weirdo design that is very uncomfortable.
Fourth, the headphones have lousy sound quality.
Once again, the customer has NO CHOICE but to buy more and more of this cheap crap. XM made sure the unit was designed with a unique connector so we can't use other headphones which are not uncomfortable and don't have cheap sound quality like these do.
What a ripoff. Remember that you were treated like this when an alternative to XM and Sirius, which will soon merge with XM, comes along. Spend your money with the competition when it becomes available. Don't put up with this nasty treatment!
Belkin F8E724 XM Roady XT/XPRSS Battery Kit.......2007-07-19
This is a great idea to expand on the capabilities of this home/car satellite radio. The battery charges pretty quick, and the headphone antenna works awesome! With the battery and the belt clip the unit ends up being a little bulky, but you can always store everything in a hip/waist pack then it is more comfortable. The volume is controlled by the output signal strength on the satellite radio and a resistor type control in the headphone cable; a little ackward, but it works good. The power button on the face of the unit is easily depressed therefore if you are not using the unit and are carrying it in your bag, I would keep the battery cable unplugged. The headphones are a little bulky (since they contain the antenna) but their sound quality is great. Overall, in my opinion, this is a great attachment. Enjoy, Henry
happy with purchase.......2007-07-18
I purchased this as a gift for my brother-in-law. He is very happy with it. Compact and easy to use.

My ROADYXT Home Kit Experience.......2006-03-22
I bought the Home Kit for the RoadyXT. Overall, it does what you want it to do. You can either have it at work or home to listen to music all day. We have a firewall at work, so I can't listen to music over the net. That's where the Home Kit comes into play. The satellite signal it receives it not bad for being inside the building with no windows nearby. The FM Modulation is a bit weak and gives some static, although I'm not sure if it's the Roady or the Home Kit. Overall, the remote is easy to use and helpful on the road as well. I would recommend it if you want the extra item, but not a necessary one.
Excellent accessory.......2006-02-26
Nice addition to use my Roady XT receiver at home. Easily attaches to my home stereo.
