Delphi Roady XT Home Kit ( SA10176 )

I was stringing the antenna/cable up to the attic and set it down on the central AC unit. I went back downstairs to get a few more tools so I could finish off the antenna installation. My plan was to drill a hole through an attic wall that would give me access to the southwest sky. Before going back up in the attic I stopped and plugged the cable into the unit. I had FULL strength reception and the antenna was just lying in the attic without any windows. I went upstairs, attached the antenna to the nearest stud and haven't looked back. In south Louisiana, when the thunderstorms builtup, we used to lose TV satellite on a regular basis. We have gone to cable after losing TV signal 100's of times. But our Roady with its antenna in the attic hasn't lost signal once.

This is a good product, however it is my understanding from shopping at local electronic retailers, that it has been discontinued and therefore, some of the advertised accessories are no longer available. That's the reason I made the online purchase and give it a rating of 4 instead of a 5.

I purchased the Delphi Roady Car Kit from a website that had it at a crazy price...$5.99 !! With a 3 month family package at $20.00 a month. Total cost with shipping and handling...$51.53. I searched for the Home Kit in the stores in my area, but with no luck. Then I though...AMAZON !!! Total cost with shipping and handling...$28 and some change. Hooked the home kit to my stero, wait for the radio to update, about 1 hour, and I was then in business. Now, I want to be able to record from the player to an another device, on a timer fro when I am out of the house. I'm an electronic freak, so I give this hardware a 10 !! Set up was easy, learning the hardware's function was easy also.

This Home Kit does as advertised and it does connect your Delphi radio to your home stereo or any speaker combination. Everything works well and the connection is easy. If you are changing from a Sirius setup to an XM setup then you do not even have to change antennas. Just plug in the old one. The only improvement that I would make would to have included the ability to broadcast the radio signal wirelessly around the house, over an FM frequency, just like the auto unit and the Sirius home dock do.

I love this kit. It's half the price of some of the other kits I had found and it works great. I opened up the package, plugged in the audio wires to the back of the radio, plugged the AC adapter into the wall, plugged them into the cradle. Then I set the antenna on top of the stereo and plugged in the roady. It works great. I have better reception in the house than I get in my vehicle. And I can listen to all my favorite shows when I'm home.
