Delphi Roady2 SA10085 XM Radio Receiver with Car Kit

Right out of the box this little guy performed like a champ. I especially liked the clear screen with its multiple color options. Sound is clear and crisp through the car stereo system via the built-in FM transmitter. While it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of other Delphi offerings--like the memory for particular songs (my wife's SkyFi2 beeps when your favorite is coming up next on another channel; but that unit is almost FOUR times the size of the Roady2!)--for the size and price, it gets my vote! Anyone with a small car--or a small budget--will like this unit!

I've had a Roady 2 for several years and really like it. Unfortunately, the power plug came unsoldered and couldn't be fixed. Delphi wants LOTS of money for a new one, and XM Radio wants me to upgrade. But I didn't want to change everything out (antennas, power cords, etc.). So I bought this one and it works even better than my old one.

The Delphi Roady2 may be the last satellite radio receiver with an FM modulator which will play through an unused FM frequency on your car radio, WITHOUT elaborate hard-wiring or connections to your fender antenna.

The FCC no longer allows this level of transmitting power because of alleged interference with other car radios not connected to satellite. As such, you can use this radio easily and take it from car to car.

A good accessory for this Roady2 is the Personal Audio kit which allows you to take the Roady2 out of your car, put it in a special portable tray with lithium battery and headphones and jog or bike ride with satellite reception. This Personal Audio is for the Roady2, NOT for the original Roady. Buy 'em while you can, they don't make the Roady2 anymore.

If you have never listened to xm or sirius radio, you do not know what you are missing.
The XM Roady2 is a great unit for a reasonable price. It is easy to mount and install in vehicle and it is simple to use.

Bought it to replace an old one that quit on me.Use it every day and night.Person selling it to me was quick on delivery. Price was reasonable.

came as described. works like like a top. thanks a lot. would recomend anything he has for sale. :-)

excellent seller would buy from again had no problems and fast shipping too
very satisfied customer I would recommend this seller

The item came quickly. However, It is missing the Outside antenna. The package of the item was cut open and the part missing.

The product description did not specify any missing parts

on time good to deal with, fast with shipping and on time, bought it for a freind, lookied like a good fast place to do business

My Delphi Roady2 works great when it gets power - but unfortunately the power cord is loose, so the little gizmo cuts out everytime I hit a bump in the car! Very frustrating!

And this is the second Roady2 that I have had -- first one did the same thing!

And try getting a new plug from some place at RS -- they do not carry them! Always just a bit too large.

Bah Humbug

I dont know what it is but they just dont make them like this anymore. You cannot kill this thing. On the other hand, I have had several other radios, like the SkyFi 2, and they really blow. My SkyFi (2 & 3) will not work when the temp is below 50 degrees. They are harder to use, have poor audio quality and have poor quality construction and components.

my first roady-2 lasted 3 year's with alot disconnect and connect and the antenna jack let go well i said to myself normal usage with the year's but my second roady-2 did not even last 1 year with the again same problem and i was reading in the forums this is there weakness so beware even if it new the lifetime is really unknown.

This was sold as new but, upon receiving it, I discovered the package had been openend and then carefully repackaged. The power cord did not work but I just used my old one as the unit itself worked fine. So the seller may think he unloaded a defective product but it worked out well for my purposes. So it was the usual bait-and-switch routine here on eBay.
"Caveat emptor" is definitely the motto for eBay.

This will be my second Roady2, the first being purchased 4 years ago. This previous radio was stolen, so that is the reason for replacement. I like this product very much. It is easy to use and in the boom box designed for it, picks up a satallite signal very well, even in an inside room (which is where it is used). Price, performace and reliability give this item an excellent rating in my opinion.

i love it so muchAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++

I have used two of these for several years -- one in-car and one on-house -- and am shopping for a third one for another car. It's an excellent, durable product. It has a very strong modulator -- a key selling point -- meaning it puts out a strong FM signal to your radio.

Just one drawback -- something to watch for. The antenna and power connectors on one unit have become a little unreliable, so treat them well. Otherwise, it's another great Delphi product with lots of fine features.

i purchased a xm radio with a car kit but recieved a car power adapter for another type xm radio the seller refusedto supply the correct one. i would"nt trust them again

Answered my questions in a timely manner, very nice and excellent service. We love our new roady and seller included everything we needed in shippment. I enjoyed dealing with the seller better than xm. I would recommend people buying from this seller. Great Service!!!

The Roady2 is an amazing little unit. The FM modulator is very strong, in fact this receiver was discontinued when the FCC mandated a weaker FM signal so other cars wouldn't get any interference, which is stupid because we all use scrambled stations anyway. The dial on the side makes it easy to navigate by memory when you are driving so you don't have to look at it. The remote makes life very easy when you bring it in the house. In terms of sound quality, I have tested it with a tape cassette adapter and the treble is super crisp. The bass isn't extremely powerful but makes a satisfactory presence in my car. Compared to the first unit I had, the Audiovox Xpress EZ, the Roady2 blows it out of the water for sound quality and reception for some reason (using the exact same antenna in the exact same areas). The only difference is the ease of transferring the radio into the house, but for the quality, it cannot be beaten for the price. Also, the unit automatically recognizes whether or not it should use the aux out port or FM modulation to transmit the audio. Finally, the ability to pick favorite songs, not to mention the choice of backlight colors makes this a great receiver for anyone who is looking for a decent radio but doesn't want to invest.

It is a great product at a great price and was promptly shipped. I am very happy with it. Iwould reccomend this product and this seller to anyone. it was a positive shopping experience for me

This XM receiver has the strongest modulator, enabling us to have XM through out the whole house! It rocks.
