Anybody that has sirius able to help me out. Im planning on getting a portable unit to use while at work and at the gym and also want to be able to dock it in my car. Have any of you guys gotten a portable know if this is possible or hard to do.

 

This is the unit I was planning on getting

I don't have a Stiletto (I have an S50) but I listen to Howard everyday, and from what he has said about it.... it picks up Wi-Fi signals, so even if you are out of range of the Sirius satellite you can still get a signal. However, if you were using it at a gym I'm not positive you'd get a signal, unless there was a wi-fi station close by.

 

The S50 sucks to be honest, you have to use it kind of like a TiVo.... and its ridiculously confusing to program. The S50 needs to be docked to pick up the signal so while its portable its not at all fun to use. From what I've heard, the Stiletto is supposed to be really good, it is essentially what the S50 should have been, and at the price your getting it at - it looks like a good deal. I wouldn't buy one to store MP3's on or anything like that, but if you wanted to listen the stations its well worth the money.

Ya, one of my friends has that one and he was explaining to me how you have to record stuff. Do you know if you buy it at a place like Best Buy will they set up the car for you?

Off-topic: I couldn't help but read this title and giggle at the spelling since we had a whole thread about the word serious.

 

Seriousl = Sirius(ly) = series(ly)

 

Come on now, seriesly.

Im not quite sure what you mean by that but what I am talking about is spelled Sirius

I have the Sportster Model that fits in a Boom Box that takes D batteries and I can take it anywhere. It works great in the car too while plugged into the cig lighter

Some poster continuously replied to posts asking people if they were seriesly (seriously) series (serious). And from the looks of it, it was no accident.

Sorry, I should have put my post in green. I found that funny, but I guess I'm beating a dead horse. Proceed on with discussion as normal.

It was a great thread.

Honestly, its a pretty simple installation, you need to attach the antenna to the roof (magnet) and run the wires from the roof and from the cigarette lighter into the docking station. They can probably install it... hide the wires a little better, but you can do it pretty easily yourself.

 

I'm a shareholder, so buy 2 or 3 of those bad boys!
