 Love it, or Hate it January 16, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Loved it, the first day. Hated it ever since. Right out of the box, it worked like a champ, sounded good, used my wife's skyfi2 in it, no problems. Used the skyfi2 receiver it came with in the car the next day, again, no problems with the XM receiver, but the boombox is dead. If you turn the volume UP ALL THE WAY, you get a little pop and crackle, thats it. sounds like the internal amps are blown. It does this with CD/FM/XM. Returned it to place of purchase, I've been waitting two weeks for a replacement to come in. During that time, I'm reading reviews and understanding why its taking so long. It does appear to be a MAJOR problem that Delphi should own up to. I'm not the only one with sound problems.
 I have two of these - one good, one bad December 29, 2006

I purchased one of these, and I love it. My wife loves it too, and she stole it for the kitchen. The sound is just fine.
So, I purchased another one just like it. Out of the box, the second one has a whistle on XM and the obnoxious "motorboat" hum described in some of these other reviews. Unbearable! I'm returning it, and I'm hoping I get one from the "good" batch like my first one.
It appears that if you purchase one of these, you're rolling the dice.
 Delphi SKYFI CD Audio Boombox August 31, 2006

There's not much to say about this item except it's the BOMB!
It has exceeded my expectations. I am very happy I bought this product. It's much better then the regular SKYFI boombox without the AM-FM radio and CD player.
Poor Quality Unit - ZERO Tech Support June 2, 2006

I bought this unit and noticed the low volume "motorboat" noise almost immediately. E-mailed tech suppport and was told to phone the tech support department to arrange for a replacement. Called the tech support department and was told to return it to the store where I bought it.
Second unit was worse than the first and I'll be returning it for a refund tomorrow.
Nice looking unit but with the mediocre quality and the non-existent tech support its pretty much worthless.
Delphi refuses to aknowledge the problems that have been well documented in many other forums.
 Starting to go after two years.............. May 31, 2006

I never had a problem with this radio until today. It has been exactly two years since I bought the delphi boom box. My display unit on the CD part of the boom box has gone kaput. The radio still works, but I cannot see what radio station I have on and I cannot see the song number on the CDs. I called delphi tech support and was told that since I am passed my one-year warranty, I am out of luck. They can do nothing for me. They told me it would be cheaper to buy a new one because to fix it would probably cost me about $80 an hour. I can probably live without the display unit, but I hope this doesn't mean that more things with this radio will start to go wrong. Be prepared to possibly have to upgrade after two years with this one.
