Can I use the SXi1 Lynx Portable radio as a standalone satellite radio. eg: can I be deep in Algonquin Park and have LIVE satellite access?

The unit can be used independently. The unit has a rechargeable internal battery. You simply have to have it plugged into the car dock, but it does not need to be connected to a car. You then can plug in the antenna to the car dock and put the small puck antenna anywhere with a view outside to get a signal. Connect external speakers or earbuds through the connector on the dock.

if you have a radio with a 12 volt plug to power the receiver and antenna, and an aux. port. like a milwaukee job site radio

No unfortunately you have to be connected to wifi. You can download a show or music and listen to it. This is one of the downsides. I only use it in my service van so this isn't ever been a problem for me.

No, this is not a portable radio. You must have Wi Fi access if not plugged into the docking station to listen to the radio live.
643097
You need a WiFi connection to listen to live radio if it is not docked. You can listen to downloaded or recorded content. I use mine when I do yard work or any outdoor stuff. Had mine for about 6 months and have no major complaints

No, it needs to be docked to have live satellite. It doesn't have an internal antenna like the old Myfi had. Also, just as a point of reference, my particular Lynx is really glitchy. I have difficulty downloading, and also recording at times. It needs to be restarted often. I'm very tech savvy, and although the idea of the lynx is great the implementation isn't so great. I'm considering picking up a skydock for my iPhone.

Sorry, but in my country we don't have Sirius radio system available. I can't say something about it. Cheers.

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.

Yes, it will be able to operate it, however not all functions. The remote that comes with the Onyx Plus is slightly different. I believe it has the SiriusXM 2.0 logo on there.

The Lynx does not have Bluetooth built into the unit, only wifi connections work when running portably. You need to add:SiriusXM Lynx LH1 Bluetooth® Home KitModel#: SXiBH1To use Bluetooth with your Bose.

Yes, it either inputs to a rarely used frequency on your radio, or with another adapter will feed into the antennae port of your existing radio. If your radio has a 3.5 mm input it might work through that, but if you have that I would expect your radio to be new enough that you have satellite capability.

It's now called SiriusXM which is what I have. The radio is available as a car kit or a home kit. Either way, one would need a power supply to supply either 12 volts (car) or if using a home kit in the car, one would need a small 120 volt converter which is what I have. The converter plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and provides the power for the home unit. A 100 watt converter would do the job nicely. The home kit comes with antenna and a fairly long, small diameter cable to mount the antenna outside unless you have a south facing window. I set my antenna on the dash because my car has a very large windshield and the reception is great. The only thing to seriously take into consideration is can the little antenna be put outside your bedroom and have a clear shot at the southern sky. If not, it probably wouldn't work in the house for you. There are outside antennas and mounts and extention cables available to overcome a north facing room. SiriusXM cam be made tp work in almost any location by purchasing the additional antenna hardware. I hope this hasn't been too confusing and answers your inquiry Oh, as far as monthly cost, they have a number of programs available depending on what all your listening preferences are. The music only package is the cheapest at just under $10, and the next package is around $15 per month.

Yes. X = XM Radio, and S = Sirius. You can also use the plugin part for just about anything that requires a USB port. It's a standard USB 5V/500ma charger. I hope that I have answered your questions.

No, this radio has been discontinued, it's no long made and will no longer work with satellite radio.
1462835
No it does not. It is Sirius/xm "ready" meaning you need to buy the satellite add-on for it. Sxv200v1 is the model number of an satellite add-on tuner. Google that and go from there.. Or check Jvc website.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question or not, but my Starmate radio was installed in my car by Circuit City. I have a subscription to Sirius satellite radio for service. I was told that it is portable (from car to car). I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what indoor/outdoor antenna you are referring to. The radio comes with a 4" antenna for WiFi connection, or you can use an Ethernet cable to connect to your home internet network. This is only an internet-connected radio - it does not receive a satellite signal. You also need a SiriusXM internet subscription.

You can use the Line In connection or use the Sirius phone app via the Bluetooth A2DP connection... I use Power Amp and TuneIn apps with the Asteriod on occasion.. I have a 16 Sd card and ftp to the unit so I rarely use "radio"... when you use the apps via the BT connection the Asteroid function buttons will control the phone next/back etc.. With the line in of course you'd rely on the Sirius control unit. http://www.siriusxm.com/android the site will also show you the other devices you can use sirius on. I guess the only downside to the App versus the real Sirius device is the reliance on wifi/cell coverage and data usage.

Since the unit has an auxiliary input, then yes you should be able to plug your satellite unit into this radio using a standard input cable. Now, if you use your satellite radio app on your phone, then you simply use the bluetooth connection. Of course the third way to use satellite with this unit would be to use the built in FM modulator on your satellite radio, if it is so equipped.

Its a great little Internet radio. But it cannot login to any service like pandora, spotify, etc. The Sirius Internet requires a web base logon, so the answer is no. You can listen to thousands of free stations around the world that stream their station.

The Sportster 5 receiver, like all dock & play radios, can be used both at home and in a car. This particular listing includes a car kit. You will need a separate Sirius home kit for use at home (speakers sold separately). Another option is to use a speaker dock.
