SkiFi2 XM radio receiver

[aldive]

Do any of you have the new SkiFi2 XM receiver?

I am considering it, I have used the SkiFi foe quite some time and its great, however, the "2" has some neat new features:

* 30-Minute "Pause and Replay" - Allows you to pause and replay up to 30 minutes of XM's programming.
* Built-In Wireless FM Modulator - Wirelessly transmit XM to any FM stereo. What's more, you can choose from 12 FM frequencies.
* TuneSelect - Alerts you when a favorite artist or song is playing on another channel.
* Personalized Sports and Stock Ticker - Scroll up to 20 stock symbols or sports scores while listening to your favorite channel.

The price is $99,99.

I've installed a couple of them, the display is much easier on the eyes than the original, if I didn't have sirius I would use this unit.

Do uou know if this new model will fit into the cradle of the car kit for the original?

I hate the display on my original.

I am 99% sure that it will, because they made it too fit in the same boombox as the original. If you do a search on google for it you will probably find something to confirm this.

Hmm, I was wanting the Roady 2, but bow Skyfi came out with a second one, is thi one any smaller then the origional?

its the exact same form factor as the ski fi 1 (which is still way smaller then any sirius radio)

Not quite.

There are a couple of Sirius units that are smaller than the Skyfi, and the Clarion unit is MUCH smaller.
