 Works OK, could use improvement July 22, 2010

You should read the reviews for the required app in iTunes. Apple apparently doesn't allow multitasking (yet) for apps that send audio through the docking connector, and many people complain about that. Other than that, it works pretty well for me, but they should have than just 12 presets and make some changes to the screen to make it safer to use while driving, such as larger buttons for the favorites, and larger font sizes on the song names. They could have multiple screens of presents and fewer preset buttons per screen.
All that said, I like the concept, and I can use the same dock to play music from the iPod app as well as XM Radio. But without multitasking, don't expect to able to use maps and XM Radio at the same time.
 I absolutely love my SkyDock. July 17, 2010

I purchased the XM Skydock for my vehicle and I absolutely love it! The Skydock app works well on my Iphone and I haven't had any problems receiving or making phone calls via my vehicle's built-in bluetooth while using the SkyDock. According to XM, the app will be updated soon to be compatible with Apple's IOS 4.0 multitasking. The built in FM transmitter is surprisingly good, but I still chose to install the Sirius FM direct adapter (Audiovox Sirius FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter (Black)) to further improve the sound quality of my SkyDock. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this product again!
Love it & hate it at the same time!!! June 26, 2010

I agree with some of the other reviews regarding noise distortion. I can't use the AUX plug at all - get a constant whining noise that seems to match the acceleration/deceleration of my car! FM transmission is ok but not great. Can't quite find a channel that doesn't have some degree of static.
One more complaint - once you plug it in, it's there to stay. So you better be sure before you plug it in!!! The dock fits into the cigarette lighter so tightly that I now can't get it out. Wanted to move it to my husband's truck to use on a trip - thought I was going to rip the console right out of my car! Finally gave up, fearing that I would break either the skydock or my car.
Excellent concept & app works great. Needs some definite improvement on the noise distortion. Maybe some kind of filter?
XM SkyDock Review June 16, 2010
Thomas E. Ballard (Antelope, CA USA)
I purchased this to replace an in-dash XM Radio/GPS/Stereo unit that was stolen from my F-150 pickup truck. After researching a number of options, I decided the Skydock was the best bet for me so I went ahead an purchased it. The installation of the antenna took some time because I made the effort to put the antenna wire under the molding along the dash and string it so that it was secure and hidden as much as possible. I did find that I barely had enough wire to get the antenna connection to where I wanted my Skydock to be located. If I had more wire, I would have run the wire differently than I did but, for most vehicles, the length of antenna wire should be OK. The actual Skydock unit itself works great, although it does not work well with anything other than the thinnest of cases. The answer to that might be the pass-through plug from CableJive. The unit itself and the iPhone XM Skydock app appear to be well thought out and very easy to operate, allowing you to directly select stations by number, to select by category or to save up to 12 favorites that you can tune to with the touch of your finger. The Skydock appears to be relatively sturdy and seems to be holding up well in a relatively rough riding pickup truck. All in all, I am very happy with the XM Skydock and would recommend it to others.
Love It! June 10, 2010

I really have no complaints about it. I just wanted to say that it works with the ipod touch 64gb. Don't be scared of it mentioning just the older models. It comes in crystal clear. I wish that it had more channels though but I am not through toying with it. I am new and probably have not discovered everything. I highly recommend it.
