Delphi's XM SkyFi2 Radio Receiver offers convenient plug-and-play XM
Satellite Radio reception for the car, home, or office, including the
first-ever pause and replay functions for satellite radio. Now you can
pause or replay up to 30 minutes of live XM programming and the SkyFi2
continuously and automatically saves the last 30 minutes of programming,
including programming from multiple XM channels. The unit also offers a
stock ticker, a sports-scores ticker, a built-in wireless FM modulator,
and a clock, among other features. Besides a monthly subscription to XM Radio you'll need a car kit
(SA10102 recommended), home kit (SA10103), or portable boombox (not
included). As part of SkyFi2's pause-and-replay features, you can pause
the program you're listening to with the option to play it back within
30 minutes.
Additional SkyFi2 features include a large scroll wheel and a
convenient wireless remote control. You can navigate through
direct-channel entry from both the receiver and the remote, and you can
program up to 30 channel presets (10 more than the original SkyFi's 20)
for one-button tuning to your station of choice. Also, the SkyFi2 adds
something the original was missing: a stereo analog minijack (.125-inch)
audio output for ready hookup with headphones or other audio equipment.
SkyFi2's display is even easier to read than that of its predecessor.
The channel guide lets you view 5 channels at a time while scrolling
through the channels by channel name, number, artist name, or song title.
You can also skip or add channels while scrolling. In addition, a
"favorites" mode lets you preview the artist name and song title
currently playing on your favorite channels before you select one.
SkyFi2 accessory kits for the home and vehicle let you enjoy
uninterrupted XM radio service in any vehicle, at home, or at the office.
The SkyFi2 vehicle adapter kit works in any existing car stereo system
(with mounting options), and the SkyFi2 home adapter kit is adaptable to
most home or workplace audio systems and multimedia speakers.
The receiver will work with all existing SkyFi accessories, including
the Delphi CD audio system (model SA10034). However, Delphi does not
recommend using the SkyFi2 with the previous vehicle adaptor kit (model
SA10002) since the newer SA10102 car kit has been designed to maximize
the performance of SkyFi2.
XM's digital programming lineup features 67 commercial-free music
channels, from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to
blues; 63 channels of sports, talk, children's programming, and
entertainment; and 21 channels of weather and traffic.
