XM SkyDock simply turns your iPhone into a satellite radio control panel

The XM SkyDock is an easy and relatively inexpensive way for iPhone users to add satellite radio to a vehicle, as long as they aren't power hungry multi-taskers.The XM SkyDock's app-based interface allows users to tag their favorite songs and artists and store up to 12 favorite channels. The unit installs quickly without tools for most applications.The XM SkyDock could be for you. It looks a little different than your average iPod car charger, but the SkyDock has a satellite tuner built in. Whenever you pop in your iPhone or iPod Touch, run the free SkyDock control app, and the Apple handheld is transformed into a touch-screen control for the satellite radio service.

The XM Skydock also offers a variety of out-of-the-box connection options for car stereos, including an auxiliary audio output and a built-in FM transmitter. The app automatically adjusts to landscape (shown) or portrait mode, and the audio stream can be sent either via line-out or the company's "PowerConnect" system, which transmits the audio to most standard car radios via the car's electrical system. Because the SkyDock is plugged into the car's 12-volt power adapter, it also charges the iPhone/iPod Touch while it's in use. The SkyDock app also enables iTunes tagging: hear a song you like on one of the music stations, and a touch of the screen will tag it for later download on iTunes. Naturally, the SkyDock will also play music stored on your iPhone/iPod.

SIRIUS (((XM))) INTRODUCES DUAL PLATFORM SATELLITE RADIO RECEIVER

MiRGE™ Interoperable Satellite Radio

You can now get the best of both worlds as Sirius XM Radio has introduced MiRGE, the first inter-operable satellite radio that will broadcast programming from the XM and Sirius platforms.

The new receiver was just made available for those who want to enjoy both services from Sirius and XM on one radio.

"MiRGE is the first interoperable radio designed to receive 100 percent of Sirius' and XM's programming and is a major advancement in satellite radio technology," said Jim Meyer, the company's president of operations and sales. "SIRIUS XM Radio delivers more value than ever – enabling subscribers to hear everything available without the need to buy multiple radios and pay two monthly subscriptions."

The MiRGE will be able to display a real-time programming guide along with the current channel and three other channels at the same time. A time-shift feature will allow users to pause, rewind and replay up to 60 minutes of live programming.

The MiRGE allows you to easily switch between SIRIUS and XM at the touch of a button. You can personalize your listening experience on the MiRGE by viewing the information you want, the way you want, on the large, full-color display. The large Split-screen display allows you to view up to four channels simultaneously.

One of my favorite features is the pause, rewind and replay up to 60 minutes of live programming. The easy to use pre-set buttons on the bottom of the unit allows you to store up to 20 of your favorite channels (10 SIRIUS and 10 XM).

One of the vast improvements is the easy-to-Use, 5-way control knob - for rapid channel scrolling. Unlike the many predecessor's control knob this one really works great. Another one of my favorites is the Real-time onscreen tickers that track the latest sports scores or stocks while listening to SIRIUS or XM programming

GREAT REASONS TO GET XM SATELLITE RADIO

Delphi RoadyXT Bundle

Hello....What about the XM Radio anyway?

I've gotten my share of questions about all the the stuff that XM has to offer. Yes, the 170 or so channels and all of that. But, as you can see I'm not going to mention any of that today. What I want to focus in on now is what I feel like what makes XM appealing.

One of the main reasons I feel that XM is a good way to go is because of the Award Winning Radios, products, and service. When it comes to radios themselves XM has something to fit everyones lifestyle. The Budget is also in check because of the versatility in styles of radios and family multi-radio package pricing.

When it comes to using your XM Receiver Plug-n-Play is my choice for the busy person, couple, or family. This line of receivers does just what it says! Plug-n-Play will allow you to use the same Receiver with multiple listening options. This options is the best value for your money. I do enjoy listening to my favorite XM channels in my car, home, on the beach or just about anywhere.

Most all of the Plug-n-Play Receivers comes with a Car Kit. I always suggest getting a Home Kit when you purchase the receiver. This will give you two places to listen to your favorite channels. Boom boxes gives you the power to take your music or talk show with you to the swimming pool, game, camp house, etc. You get the idea.

If you have questions or want to comment be my guest!

FCC chief recommends OK of satellite radio merger

Associated Press - June 16, 2008 12:53 AM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is recommending approval of the $5-billion merger between the nation's only two satellite radio broadcasters.

The Associated Press has learned that the recommendation comes in exchange for concessions offered by the companies that include turning over 24 channels to noncommercial and minority programming.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's recommendation sets the stage for a final vote on the closely watched buyout of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. by rival Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.

The two companies also agree to a 3-year price freeze for their subscribers.

JUST ANOTHER LITTLE XM ACCESSORIE..

Whip-Z-Do-DA! Every once in a while something sneaks up on you like a Barn Owl on a dark winters night. This is something that happened to me today. I got this phone call from a former customer in PA. He had purchased a Delphi RoadyXT from our Company sometime last fall.

I remembered the customer because he asked a lot of very good questions. His attention and assertive questioning made me think about XM Radio and especially really how good their equipment is and was going to be. Also, the training that they give to Dealers like us way down here in the good little Piney Woods of Southern Mississippi!

Well you see he kinda took one of our sales associates to task. The question that he had was about a walk-man type product that goes with the Delphi RoadyXT and the Audiovox Xpress XM receivers. For some reason none of the distributors that we bought from ever stocked, sold, or asked about one of these puppies.

So once that I got on the phone with him and found out about what it was he was inquiring about I immediately went in research mode. But; not withstanding, to my surprise none of our distributors had heard of the gadget! I didn't think that they would be a holding out on us!
This just lit a good ole fire under my inquisitive soul. I dropped everything and went into venture logistics problem solving mode!

After what seemed like an eternity blazing the internet, calling everybody that I knew, and even posting questions on different sites! I finally came across a little blurp on a post asking a question about the un-for-told thing a ma jig! Pay Dirt! Eureka... Mission almost accomplished.

You see now I knew the what cha ma call it existed but who made it? Was it still available? Where and if we could get one for this good customer. I had virtually everyone in the office phoning, emailing, texting, working, laughing, you name it and you can bet-cha somebody was doing it! Finally almost (3) grueling hours later Eureka! We found it.

The what cha ma thingy is a Mobility Kit for Xpress and RoadyXT Model# F8E724. Now the hard part where do we source one of these babies? We called the manufacturer and finally got a source. We placed our first order today and should have some inventory in a few days!

The Mobility Kit contains everything you need to turn the Delphi RoadyXT or the Audiovox Xpress XM Satellite radio receiver into a portable unit. It includes a rechargeable battery pack, an AC adapter for charging the battery, radio holders for the RoadyXT and Xpress, a belt clip, and a pair of headphones with a built-in XM antenna. As with all XM products In addition to the receiver, a subscription to XM Satellite Radio is required in order to receive programming.
