Directed Electronics SV1 SIRIUS Radio Receiver with Car Kit

Garbage, garbage, GARBAGE. Beware the old adage: you get what you pay for. The FM transmitter is VERY weak; the blue readout is invisible in sunlight; the small buttons are confusingly set up, especially while driving; and the one line display must be changed manually to see the artist and title lines (if you can work the right buttons and actually see the display.) I bought this inexpensive unit for my third vehicle because of its small size (I have 2 other Sirius radios), and almost immediately junked it. The only way I can justify the purchase is that I got an extra antenna in the deal. The people that engineered this unit should be taken out and shot. Look elsewhere. A MUCH better small radio is my replacement, the Xact XTR3, whose design overcomes all of the above and also comes with a home kit.
