Works for me!.......2007-02-12
I installed this unit in a 2001 Porsche Cabriolet. Unfortunately, the head unit was DOA, but Audiovox replaced it w/o incident. I have the antenna mounted on my dash and it works fine. I had to use the modulator sysem, which turned out to be just fine also. I wish it had three lines on the head unit so it could show Artist, Song and Channel (station?) all at the same time. Other than that, no complaints.
XM Trek Commander.......2007-01-12
Depending on your application, the Trek XM Commander is a slick way to do a custom install of an XM head unit. I previously had the XM Roady 2 and didn't like all the wires hanging out the side or the FM modulation mode - didn't seem as clear as the cassette input - which was even more unsightly. The XM Commander in my current vehicle - Acura MDX looks like a factory install and the direct connect into the FM antenna line produces very clean sound. However, I may purchase the direct connect feed and use the RCA jacks off the Trek main module (which you can hide away anywhere to connect all the wires). Like I said, it's a very clean and professional looking application. Oh, and the remote is great too. Especially for scanning XM or selecting stations without taking your eyes off the road.
The best XM receiver. Period........2007-01-10
I own two of the XM Commanders, and I couldn't be happier. They are the size of the actual remote (appx. 1.5" x 4"), so they are very compact and will fit in places the other XM units won't. The sleekness of the unit also makes it look more like a factory install, and it's less likely to get in the way of any knobs or controls in the vehicle. It's also hard wired, which is nice since the wire can be hidden during install giving it a clean look to your interior. On the record, I also own the XM unit that fits in the XM boombox, and the Commander is easily the best looking and easiest to use. However it's up to your personal tastes and style, although you won't go wrong with this purchase.
great unit.......2006-06-30
I had the XM Commander professionally installed. At this time for my car the only option was with the FM Mod. The sound quality is good, as any FM station is. A unit worth installing.
Only a few intems could be improved.
First, the display unit could have a scrolling option so that in some cases you can see the entire group or song name. Maybe a smaller size font could be used.
Second, the buttons on the display unit are so small that it is hard for full size fingers to find the correct one. The remote works wonders in this area.
Third, the tune select could be set up so that you could select the artist or the song. As it is if you select a tune it is that artist and that tune.
Overall I would certainly purchase the unit again. Well worth the money.
XM Might be great... but not with this receiver.......2005-02-24
I purchased this receiver after quite a lot of research. I was looking for a way to listen to better music than is played in my small Arizona town. Satellite radio seemed to be the best alternative. Although servicewise, Sirius plays slightly better music (I have Sirius free through my Dish Satellite at home) their equipment is terrible (very basic). With that said I chose XM.
I installed this receiver after about 1 hour. The reason it took so long was simply the power hook up instructions were not very clear (this was solved by hooking into the radio power).
This unit uses a wired FM Modulator. In other words, your antenna cable goes into the modulator and there is an output from the modulator that goes into the back of your stereo. This modulator was the root of the problem. When hooked up properly it completely degraded the incoming signal from the antenna. In other words, the few FM stereo stations that were quite strong using the antenna alone were mostly garbled and full of static with the modulator hooked up. The only way I was able to fix the static issue was by unplugging the modulator and antenna. I wired the antenna back into the stereo and taped the modulator cable next to the antenna. This gave me the same quality output but got rid of the static issue. In either configuration, the output volume was also grossly inadequate. Even with the FM signal at max level the volume was very quiet. Because of this you would get a huge volume difference when switching from XM fed FM stations to CD.
Based on all these reason I finally took the XM Commander back to Best Buy and bought a Delphi's XM SKYFi2 receiver which I highly recommend. On a side note, XM was able to switch my membership between the old to new receiver in about 5 min.
