You would need to purchase a home kit for the unit ( you would also need to be able to aim the antenna out a south facing window) programming starts at $14.49 a month

You may have to buy a home install kit but yes it can hook up in a home or office and there is a monthly fee but its pretty resonable

hey don, yes it can be used in your office. you"ll need to place the antennae somewhere outside though to pick up the satellite signal. another option is to get it through the internet, that goes with your subscription. I haven't had for about a year but I was paying about 20 dollars a month. I hope that answers your question, steve.

Really depends on what kind of set up your lookin to have in your home. If you want something simple, you could do a "boombox" type system (I have this for work) which is exactly what the name says, it is a docking unit with speakers and an antenna that you extend out and place where you can get a signal,very portable. I have somethin more permanent for my house which is a home kit, a docking unit with an antenna and 100' cable where the antenna is installed on the same pole as my Direct TV satellite dish. On the docking unit I have a whole home FM transmitter hooked up to boost radio signal to every radio in my home, a really nice way for me to listen to Sirius everywhere in my house. Hope the helps with your question

You're taking a chance by doing this purchase on line from Amazon. I purchased this item and the connections did not line up. Best bet is to get it from Sirius, just give them a call and give them the model number of your unit. Or take your set to Best Buy and have them match it up there.

It requires Sirius satellite antenna if you want satellite radio that you pay for. Free radio requires a regular antenna, or you can upload music to the internal hard drive.

I think you never have satellite radio.i personally think its waist of good money.the same songs over and over like the regular radio,I wish XM radio stop the ripoff and give the people what they paying for,we the people expect for the money we pained the best music and shows all the time and the same song only ones every two years.

Sorry, mine is a Sirius ST4R STARMATE - it works well with it. Go to the Sirius support page, https://listenercare.siriusxm.com/app/answers/list/session/L3RpbWUvMTM5NjQ5MzY3Ni9zaWQvUkQ0c2VRUWw%3D/p/908,1251 and ask the question. Chat is also available. Good luck!

No there is no fee. The instruction manual explains how to configure your computer to view the system online. I can view my home system from my computer at work.

Well Penelope as for sirius it's not internally in this system. However you can connect a sirius satellite to it. Hope this response helps!!! Happy Saturday!!!

Yes there are a LOT of fees. Look it up on their website. I paid nearly $300 in contract and subscription fees just to get fed up with this grossly unreliable piece of junk and toss it into my saddlebag. If you want an electronic device to save you and bring the cavalry running, you're wasting your money on Spot. I bought it for my Alaska motorcycle trip. What a useless piece of junk. Always shutting off. Always disconnecting. DON'T BOTHER! And I'm an IT professional - I DO have a clue.

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

Yes you will need the Sirius module and antenna. They will both mount somewhere behind the radio in the cabinet. Then the Sirius folks can program the system for you or turn it on where it works.

No fees. As long as you have an open wi-fi connection, you have endless stations available. You set it up through reciva.com. Very simple. Also will play music files from your computer. Love this radio. I use it every day.

According to the information on line, it will work. However, to avoid problems, call the Sirius help line at 866.601.6296. They may even offer a free radio or other stuff

There is no difference betweet XM and Sirius. In fact, they are one and the same owned by the same company as far as I know. I have used Sirius XM for a few years and love it. My Onyx system is first rate. It gives me a speaker box for my office and a hookup for my truck. I use the remote in my office and going to my truck I just grab the unit off of the speaker and plug it into the holder in my truck. The setup I got was a deal with the speaker, unit and all cords and holders for the home and the auto. I highly recommend this and if yo talk to Sirius sometimes they will give you a lot better deal if you signup for a year vice monthly. If you buy, I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

The only competitor to Sirius satellite readio is XM satellite radio, they have some portable units, though I'm not aware of reception quality with them.

Hello Serena, Unfortunately it is another subscription but it is discounted by Sirius/XM they charge for each ID activated.
