I only have a few problems with this unit. Other features, I haven't explored, because it just looks too complicated. If I flipped it from Preset A to Preset B, I think my husband would have a fit. I would like it to have a built-in wireless FM modulator, which would help with the wire clutter. If anyone knows how to get this to stop, I'll be forever grateful. I wish there weren't so many gosh darned wires.
I am happy with the Xpress for the variety of music I can now receive anywhere we go. We go on road trips a lot and I wanted satellite radio for those parts of the country where radio reception is sparse. This works very well for that purpose. It is sooo annoying.
It seems completely random, at which point the screen will display the Sirius website address. XM Radio merged with Sirius and now my radio has this annoying beep every so often. I find the controls less than completely intuitive. If they could make it with a wireless FM modulator, no annoying beeps, a better dash mount and more intuitive controls, I could be in heaven.
The fact that there are 3 preset arrangements of channels just makes it harder for less tech savvy people. The dash mount came with something to prepare the dash with and a mounting tape square. I can get the basics, like tuning to the proper channels and setting each numbered button to a favorite station. I love the fact that we now can listen to dedicated children's programming like Radio Disney.
Phooey on that Sirius for messing up my pleasant radio listening days. I was impressed that the adhesive did not leave a residue. I understand that if I followed instructions for fully installing the unit, I would not see all the wires, but I am just not that savvy and my husband forbade me to try. It lasted longer on the dash than I ever hoped for; but in the summer heat, when the car can get over 120 degrees, the adhesive eventually came unglued and the mount fell off.
One small part was missing and it is being sent to me in a timely manner. XM receiver and car kit are even nicer than I expected.
