Delphi's SkyFi2: Even More Music to Shake Sticks At!

Posted by Neil Enns in "HARDWARE" @ 10:00 AM



Product Category: Audio
Manufacturer: Delphi
Service Provider: XM Radio
Where to Buy: Amazon.com
Price: $126.00 USD for the SkyFi2, $69.95 for car kit, $9.95 activation fee, and $9.95/month for service
System Requirements: An additional home or car kit (or both), and subscription to XM satellite radio service

Pros:
  • 30 minute buffer for quick replay of music;
  • TuneSelect helps you find your favourite songs;
  • The screen is much, much, much better.
Cons:
  • TuneSelect has some quirks;
  • Some little changes from the previous version are annoying to existing users.
Summary:
Back in September I posted a review of the Delphi SkyFi unit for XM Satellite Radio. It quickly became the workhorse for audio in my car while driving around, and pretty much put an end to my listening to FM radio. Since then Delphi's released version two of the unit, the SkyFi2. Is the new unit worth an upgrade for existing users? Do its nifty new features like a 30 minute song buffer work well, or are they just flashy add-ons? Read the rest of this review to find out!
