In dash tuner died and replaced it with this and it works great!! Would definitely recommend this unit. Very easy to hookup and activate. Solid equipment. Pros: very easy to install and use Cons: no iPhone 5 connector, have to use an adapter. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Outdated Written By LesA, Houston TX on Saturday, February 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great concept but now outdated thanks to the Apple Lightening Connector. The Skydock only comes with the old 30 pin connector and will not work with new Ipods or Iphones. While Apple makes a converter, the end result is anything but high tech. Was this review helpful? Yes No XM SkyDock™ Written By Dennis B, VT on Friday, January 24, 2014 My wife bought me this for Christmas. Great way to get Satellite radio in my F250 SuperDuty! Installation was simple and I was activated in no time at all. Even better than Sirius, I can play all my favorite albums in my iTunes thru my truck stereo! Love it. Pros: Easy install. Plays music from other apps like Pandora, YouTube or iPod etc. Cons: I use the Lifeproof case, so I needed to get a Lifeproof charger extension to make it work. Unit is a little jiggly over rough roads. Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock Written By Rob R, Rickman, TN on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Second one I've bought, one for a 2007 Tahoe and one for a 2002 Mustang. I already have SiriusXM in both. I just bought the product because it's a good looking and convenient charger for my iPhone. A bit expensive for just a charger, but considering how many standard chargers I've been through, it's well worth it. This is a very durable product. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good inexpensive, temporary solution. Written By Kevin, Newport, RI on Saturday, October 05, 2013 Decent product. Stalk repositions if you spend a lot of time driving bumpy roads. No buffer from what I can tell, so if you lose the signal, you lose the music until the signal returns. Takes longer than I would like to initially get going if your app is not on the homescreen ready to go. I bought this as a temporary solution, and it is just that. Not what I would want long term. Pros: Cheap, temporary solution to a new head unit. Cons: Not as elegant as a new head unit. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No SkyDock is Great! Written By Stephen, Athens,GA on Monday, September 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this to replace my 10 year old XM receiver. Setup and installation is a breeze. The AUX input is nice. I did use the FM modulator for a while and it worked fine, but I setup the AUX settings in my tuner and now no longer have to worry about finding stations as I travel. Love the fact that I can move the unit between vehicles easily. Charges the phone as you use it. The app is great and reliable. Plenty of nice features make this a great purchase for XM radio users. Pros: Setup is easy. Charges phone as you use it. Mobility between vehicles. AUX option. Cons: It would be nice to have the XM mute/pause itself when a call comes in to the phone. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Skydock Written By J p., Tulsa, OK on Sunday, August 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome product. Pros: Xm in any vehicle. Cons: Does not act as a Bluetooth as well. Would be nice if conversations went through speakers as well. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No XM SkyDock Written By Kevin F., Hooksett, NH on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very happy with my XM Sky Dock. This is my second one. I have had my first one for over 2 years. It works great! Pros: Pros = Allows me to listen to my XM radio through my iPhone in my car and then take my iPhone into the house where I can then listen to my On-Line option, all with just one device. Cons: Cons = None Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock Written By XM Skydock Owner, St. Louis, MO on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set-up and activate. Sounds great. I wanted a portable satellite radio to use in different vehicles and this works. This was much less expensive than a dedicated satellite radio, and I don't have to worry about an additional piece of electronics. I'm using the aux input of my stereo for the Skydock, and I have no complaints regarding the sound quality. The Skydock app displays artist and song title, allows iTunes tagging, and you can create a list of favorite stations. Pros: Easy to use and great sound quality. Cons: None Was this review helpful?

Cons: No Cons 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product, marginal factory support Written By Billk2002, Cincinnati oh on Friday, July 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This works well with an iPod after you get it registered with XM. Their customer support in Manilla so prepare for a language barrier. Pros: Plug and play. Looking forward to being able to hardware it into my new radio from Crutchfield. Cons: Off shore customer support in Manilla.. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Just what I needed. Written By Grant, Kremmling, Colorado on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was just what I needed to get XM in my car with a radio that did not offer an AUX. I purchased the FM modulator with it and the radio has no squelch sounds in the background. Very good product and would recommend it to others. Pros: Easy to install - works great with factory radios that do not have an AUX. Cons: I am not aware of any at this time 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The perfect solution Written By John H, Bullhead City, AZ on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The XM skydock was a great choice for my wife's Jeep. There was very little room for any after market accessories. This plugs right into the power outlet and takes up very little room. I was a little hesitant about it staying plugged in and not moving around with the weight of our I phones. This is not a problem at all. We go off road a lot and it stays in place. We can listen to our favorite classic rock station in the middle of the desert. Keeping our I phones charged is a plus! Pros: Easy to install (took 5 minutes) great reception even mounted on the hood. Soft top jeep no place to mount on roof. Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No XM SkyDock Written By RichC, La Conner, WA on Saturday, March 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The SkyDock is easy to install with all needed parts and instructions provided. Connection with XM went smoothly. It works good on an older radio without the audio cable. becomes undocked sometimes. I will try the Velcro behind the dock suggestion mentioned in another review. Pros: Price through Crutchfield is unbeatable, the installation was easy Cons: The SkyDock disconnects and undocks when driving. Was this review helpful? Yes No GREAT!!!! Written By Anonymous, Richmond, VA on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love this item! Much better than the original dock I purchased several year ago. Works great with my iPod Touch and associated application. easy to download and install. Touch screen sure beats button/dial navigation on old unit. No problems for the month I've had the unit. Highly recommend! Was this review helpful? Yes No XM SkyDock™ Written By Bill, Colorado Springs, CO on Friday, January 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works as specified; however, The iPhone 4s doesn't connect properly unless it is removed from it's case. When my house blocks the radio channels, the iPhone app runs clearly, but when on the road, the background static makes the music to noisy to listen to. I have ordered the FM Antenna Adapter and hope that solves the problem. I had a previous XM portable and needed the adapter for that as well. The stand holds the iPhone at a comfortable easy to read height. Pros: Easy to install as packaged Cons: Poor audio using the built in FM transmitter, especially in areas with the FM spectrum barraged Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent choice for satellite radio Written By JPourteau, Prince George, VA on Thursday, December 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My wife's Mini Cooper would require a $700 upgrade to receive xm. The sky dock took care of the problem. MIT works seamlessly with the fm modulator and has multiple frequencies you can set. I love the interface between the iPhone and the xm app. Better than any device you can get from xm or Sirius. Easy to install. Pros: Easy install. App is great for browsing stations and seeing what's next Cons: Can disconnect on bumps from the dock if not secured. Occasionally reports that the sky dock is not connected when it is Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock Written By MarkJ, Portland, OR on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The XM Skydck is an excellent choice for those that wish to utilize existing devices! I read alot of the reviews taking others notes into great consideration to whether or not they would effect what my expectations were and decided to buy it and try it out in my '04 Ford Expedition and I am very happy I did! hook was extremly easy to my Kenwood DNX9140 head unit and works PERFECTLY even despite what some say about being able to run multiple apps when the XM Skydock app is running. Simply not the case for me! i can have it running listening to whatever at the time and if a call comes in it switches over WITHOUT any issues and then when the call is complete comes back to the XM Skydock app and resumes perfectly EVERYTIME! One thing I would HIGHLY recommend is to NOT cheap out on the Audio cable that connects it to your AUX in! I first had a regular $6.99 cable feeding my Kenwood and it sounded "OK" and was what I expected based on others reviews. but when I found that cable had a bad spot from riders using it in there other devices prior to getting the Skydock and replaced with a Monster cable (1/8" to Phono a $30 cable) wholly cow did it come alive!!! It now sounds as good as when I had my touch or iPhone connected to the iPod connection of my Kenwood radio! Pros: Super Easy to Install, Works Flawlessly (For My System) Power Dock Locks in Tight 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock Written By Twinlead, Rochester, NY on Sunday, September 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Skydock works very well so far. It is allowing me to get some use out of my gen 1 iPod Touch. The features and functions are intuitive and work fine. That said, the supplied antenna cable is way too short and the stalk is also too short for our 2005 Prius. I realize this is designed for a quick and temporary/transportable installation, however in order to achieve a more finished look I needed about 10 more feet of antenna cable. To resolve the short stock issue, I installed a new cigarette lighter outlet below the driver's right side ac vent. When plugged in to the car's OEM power outlet, the stalk was not only too short to be practical (or safe to operate while driving) but also too loose and would not support the weight of my iPhone without constantly losing power. Once I installed the new power outlet and used my Touch I no longer experienced any connectivity issues. Although I have no experience with the XM Snap, it seems the Snap's stalk would be a more appropriate length for the Skydock. The only other issues I had are with SiriusXM Customer Support. Although friendly, they are seemingly unable to follow directions or give accurate answers. I highly recommend validating your account online after speaking to them to ensure the subscription you have is what you actually want. Pros: Convenient, works well, comparatively inexpensive, somewhat portable Cons: Antenna cable and stalk are too short. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock and iPod Touch 4thG Written By Clint, Elkland, PA on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Couldn't be happier with this product. I was skeptical to purchase at first after reading many bad reviews, but I liked the idea of using my iPod and being able to tag songs. I have yet to try this in other vehicles but it is positioned right at my fingertips in my 2011 F-150. This product has worked flawlessly so far, I have no complaints. Pros: Works exactly as described, very fast shipping from Crutchfield! Cons: NONE! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Won't fit all cars Written By Chris, Miami, Florida on Monday, February 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This item would not fit the DC power port in my Infiniti, it went in easily but when removing it, it pulled the entire power port out. It seems the gasket is slightly too big for Nissan's and Infiniti's. It worked in my GM vehicle but they have built in XM so I ended up returning it. I attempted to call the manufacturer about the issues and the destruction done to my vehicle but they would not speak to me and continued to pass me back between departments. Crutchfield was unable to help me other than offering me a refund. Cons: Does not fit properly in all vehicle power ports. 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product and the best service. Written By Johnny O, Mentor, OH on Monday, January 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very pleased with this product. I usually dread speaking with XM Radio people but the switch from my old radio to the Skydock went very well. The interface with my iPhone is very good... i love the different ways to search channels and the display. My guy Buck at Crutchfield was awesome and assured me that I was making the right purchase for my needs. The only gripe I have with the sky dock is the length of the unit. My Honda Oddy. has the power outlets really low so the dock is low... but it works great other than that. Pros: Good product and interface. CRUTCHFIELD is always good. Cons: Not long enough...? 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock Written By bwp, Paris, Texas on Sunday, January 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The first one of these I ordered lasted only 3 days. Crutchfield is so amazing they sent me a new one out immediately! The idea behind this is great. It gets the device into a safe place and keeps it charged. Even if you're just using it to dock, charge or as an input for your mp3 files on your i device it is worth looking into. Definitely worth the price I paid! Pros: CRUTCHFIELD IS AWESOME! Gets your device in safe place, inputs through your car stereo, keeps your device charged fully Cons: Obviously designed for iPod touch or 3rd gen iPhone. iPhone 4 or 4S will work w/o the case or if you have a very minimal case it MIGHT work with it. I had to do a little trim work on the case for my iPhone 4S but now it works great, just can't change cases, that kind of stinks. The dock is heavy w a phone in it so you kind of have to position it accordingly. I put a little velcro on the back of my dock to secure it once I figured out where I liked it best. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Skydock and iPod Touch 4thG Written By Tiger, Florida on Sunday, May 08, 2011 I see that other people are having problems since the SiriusXm channel update. Before that, my Skydock played my iPod tunes beautifully through my truck's sound system. There is a Pop-Up on the XM that says the "mute" button now serves a function that it already did before. The radio works ok, but no sound through my speakers for the other apps. I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with SiriusXM and they said that they are "escalating this as a new issue". Maybe they'll have a fix. It's been excellent up to now. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The update version caused the problems we have Written By MikeY, Dallas, TX on Tuesday, March 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Loved my skydock until they issued the software update. The big sell on the update was that it allows you to leave XM, place a phone call, and phone would return to XM when call ended. Unfortunately, now when you push the home button on your IPhone, it just puts the XM in hold mode. Take your phone out, put it back in, and XM cannot start the XM receiver because it is still running from previous use and system can't get in. You have to completely re-boot your I-Pnone to shut off the radio, and then it will start back up. SkyDock needs to fix this problem with a new update with an OFF function for radio. Can't find any customer service for this thing... Very Frustrating!!! [Editor's Note: You cannot un-dock your iPhone when you get a call, you must use the speakerphone, or a Bluetooth adapter/headset.] 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product, but something is missing... Written By JohnM, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, February 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great FM transmitter and solid unit. They need to figure out a way to transmit your phone calls over the unit. The "listen to your call through the external speakers" is not the solution at highway speeds. This can be a serious safety harzard when trying to remove the phone from the Skydock. Would be a solid 5 stars with that feature! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No XM SkyDock™ Written By Anonymous, Mukwonago, WI on Sunday, January 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I absolutely love my XM Skydock. Set it up and worked right away.Set up was easy with the Apple App. Had Smooth Jazz playing in my car from XM in minutes. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No great answer to several issues Written By Dean, Corona del Mar, CA on Friday, January 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent way to interface your ipod/itouch/iphone with an older car that does not have an audio input jack. But, the sound quality was unacceptable until I added the "FM Direct Adapter", from XM, which inputs to the radio through its antenna input. However, the XM/Sirius radio lineup was disappointing to me. I had hoped for classical and U.S. News. There are really only 3 classical offerings and no U.S. news, just opinion and talk. The lack of a news offering is more of a cultural observation than a critique of XM, I fear. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Was a great product, but... Written By John, Baltimore, MD on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 When I bought this it was perfect: charges my iPod Touch, plays music, XM interface, low cost. However, since the update to iOS 4.1 and version 2.18 of the XM app, the XM service is inoperative. When you launch the XM app, it makes repeated attempts to connect but finally fails. The error message either states that it could not power on the radio (meanwhile playing through iPod and charging is fine), OR that the dock is disconnected. I contacted XM. They wanted me to unistall/reinstall the app. No effect. I even emailed the development team. Nothing. If you only want to charge and play your iPod, there are cheaper answers. Until XM fixes this problem, this product is only partially useful. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A Very Good Solution Written By RonL, Alpharetta, GA on Saturday, October 09, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this product as a replacement for the XM radio that was part of my old Garmin GPS. While not as good as a built in XM radio, for my older model car it is more than an acceptable solution. As I only use the dock to listen to my XM radio, via my iPhone, it is a very good product and the quality and ease of use is outstanding. Was this review helpful? Yes No Love it! Written By tina, virginia on Wednesday, September 08, 2010 I've only had my Skydock for a couple of days, but so far I absolutely LOVE it! My cigarette lighter is recessed so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use this, but because of the flexible stalk, it fits just fine in my car. I love having only one wire (the antenna wire, easily hidden) so the dashboard doesn't look so cluttered. It was very easy to set up. I'm using it through an FM channel and it sounds fine. The XM app is easy to navigate. I haven't tried some of the features - ex. tagging songs - so I can't comment on those and some reviews have complained that you can't multi-task (an Apple issue, I believe). I bought in store (a great big THANKS to the Crutchfield staff person who let me make sure it would fit in my car before I bought it!). There's a rebate IF you subscribe - check the details. I couldn't find any price break for current subscribers. Crutchfield's price is $20 less than the XM shop. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product Written By Kevin, Bay Area, CA on Sunday, June 06, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great simple product and easy way to add XM to your vehicle. Pros: -Easy setup, depending on what mode of connection you use. I didn't even bother using the FM transmitter and went for a direct auxillary adapter (HON98-AUX ). Once connected, worked like a charm. -Great app which makes control easy, yet another functionality of your iphone -I placed the satellite receive on my dashboard, hoping to avoid mounting on the roof and it seems t work just fine. Cons: -I already have XM everything for another radio and I was told by them directly I could use the same subscription for my Skydock, this is not true. You must have a subscription for each radio. -Crutchfield did not tell me I needed a RCA to 3.5mm adapter to connect my equipment. I assumed tey would have thought of this as I asked them if I had ordered everyhting I need to get going. I was able to get the adapter easily, but still delayed by a day. -My phone locks down even though I have disabled that feature in the settings. Not sure if I can fix, but a small pain. -I have a malware cover on my iphone and it takes a bit of pressing down, but works ok, connection sometimes comes off if I turn it to landscape mode. I keep it in portrait mode and it works great. -holder is a bit shaky, but doesn't affect performance. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Really great but... Written By Douglas, Cumberland, Md on Sunday, March 14, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The SkyDock is the best device that I have come across to present your phone to you while driving. Sounds best when directly connected through the cable included. You can play the XM Radio, iTunes, Pandora, Wolfgangs Vault etc. Any way that you can play music on your phone you can send it to your vehicle's radio.. The problem is trying to pull the SkyDock out of the power point. My Toyota Highlander's receptacle came apart and broke (note suppling power) while I tried to pull the SD from it. You have to pull it a lot harder that feels comfortable. I suppose that the rubber gaskets on the power plug will wear and it will fit better over time. Doug Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Happy Written By Anonymous, Dickson, TN on Monday, February 22, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Put it in my wife's suburban and she loves it. Took about 30 minutes to route the cable the way I wanted it. After that, all I did was plug it in and turn it on. It works great. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great concept but... Written By Craig, Baltimore, MD on Friday, February 19, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have both an IPod touch and XM radio in my Ford Expedition. The idea of combining the two sounded great, so I got the XM Skydock. It installed easily and worked just as described. I only have two issues. 1. The volume can be controlled for the XM portion of the unit, but the music I have stored in the IPod has no volume control and its quite loud as compared to the XM radio side. 2. If you are using the direct connection, you may very likely pick up engine noises. I don't dislike karaoke, but having my engine sing along can be quite annoying. I have had mulitple discussions with Crutchfield Tech Support and even purchased a noise filter, but the problem has no resolution. On the good side, the FM part of the Skydock does work well and will eliminate the noise issue, but the sound quality is not nearly as good. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Love My Skydock Written By Mary, Pleasanton, CA on Wednesday, February 03, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just purchased the SkyDock and am new to XM. It was totally easy to install and get operational. I get great sound and reception. Love it! Was this review helpful? Yes No XM Skydock - XM Everywhere -Highly Recommended Written By Kenneth, Goliad, TX on Friday, January 22, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you own an Iphone, you cannot fo better for a satellite radio upgrade than what the Skydock provides. Excellent reception and sound. I have two vehicles, one which I use FM connect and the other has a front auxiliary input. The Skydock allows a simple connection of the radio antenna wire to the dock, insert your IPhone, start the app and listen to the music or news of your choice. I have seen minimal problems with the app and dock but occasionally the dock does not connect to XM. Restarting the app on the phone corrects this. The only major annoyance that I see is that the "Learn More" screen when the app starts stays on the screen until you dismiss it. I hope a future software update will fix that problem as once the radio is registered this screen should not appear. I have also purchased a 110 volt converter and use the FM connect feature with my home stereo as I have a Samsung XM ready HTIB but there is no direct connector for the Skydock to the receiver yet. My home XM antenna and my antenna from my previous install in one of my vehicles both work fine with the Skydock. Navigation on the Skydock is simple and your selection stays highlighted for a couple of seconds which is nice. Also plays the IPod features of the phone. One of the best products I have seen for XM. Only drawback is hiding the antenna wire on each vehicle you want to be able to use the Skydock in. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I like it! Written By Ceceria, Memphis, TN on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm not a tech savvy person. This took me less than 10 minutes to install in my vehicle. It took me longer to program my 12 stations. I recommend this sky dock to anyone. Was this review helpful? Yes No Works Great, Written By Anonymous, Denver,CO on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 I custom mounted a power outlet (cig lighter) into my Jeep Wrangler Dash where my radio used to be. My radio is in an overhead console now. The Skydock sits well in the outlet and holds the phone even in my rough jeep. The FM works great in my jeep but I tried it in one of my work vehicles and it was not that great. This is not a big deal to me as the dock also has the audio out that I used a cassette adapter instead. The software is very easy to use and I like that it will notify you when a song you tagged is playing. So not only can I listen to XM and my music on my phone but I can run other apps like GPS and the phone stays charged. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Marriage of XM and iPod Written By James, Central Virginia on Monday, December 21, 2009 As a longtime XM subscriber, I have been through 2 other receivers, the MyFi and XM2Go. Both had their pros and cons, but THIS is an awesome product. The iPod software is intuitive and the display is so much better than my 2 previous receivers. The sound quality of the FM transmitter is noticeably better than the XM2Go unit it replaced. Channel changing is much quicker, as well. Installation was a snap-20 minutes, or so. The arm is sturdy and easily adjustable. Also, I no longer need separate devices to play my iPod and XM, reducing dashboard clutter and a glovebox full of wires, connectors, and STUFF. The only minor cons I can think of, is you are limited to 12 presets. Also, a Bluetooth/speakerphone option would be a nice addition. (I'm using an iPod touch, rather than an iPhone, so I don't know if there's a workaround for this on the iPhone). Since the interface is software-based on the iPod, I expect that they will continue to expand and improve the MANY features it offers. Even if the unit didn't have an XM receiver, it would be one of the best iPod/iPhone mounts for the car, I've seen.. Adding the receiver, makes it truly a must-have accessory for iPod/iPhone users! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sneaky Written By Anonymous, Stevensville, MD on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First let me say this review is two fold. The product itself is great. It "locks" in nicely to the aux. plug and holds the phone better than the road trip I have. The sky doc software is slick and overall the sound quality is better than other FM transmitter docs I have used in the past. THE PROBLEM. Sirius XM needs to get their act together. I was a current Sirius subscriber and couldn't transfer my exsiting service to this device, I had to buy new XM service and pay extra to get Sirius best of. I know when companies merge they take time to get the pieces put together well but this is a lame way to capture new/ additional business. After some discussion with the Sky Doc customer service people they finally gave me a years worth of service at a discounted rate and waived the registration fee. SIRIUS XM- people want your service, reward them for the business, don't nickel and dime us! 15 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product! Written By Mark, South Carolina on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this item to accompany my Ipod Touch in a 2004 Mercedes C Class. The SkyDock works great - was incredibly easy to set up - and is a joy to use. I particularly like the ability get XM radio in various cars - just take the SkyDock with you and plug it in. While the instructions suggested that the antenna be mounted on the roof of the car I found that simply placing it on the dash worked equally as well and did not require any of the meticulous hiding of wires, etc. All in all this is a great product. That combined with Crutchfield's great price and service make for a sure winner. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Had to return it. 19 out of 42 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great for iTouch & iPhone Written By ToyotaTundraMark, Charlotte, NC on Sunday, November 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only a couple of things are keeping me from giving this 5 stars. 1 - You can't pause live shows (in case you get a phone call). 2 - You can't record shows. Other than that, it's great. When you install it, you will have to push twice as hard to get it in as you think you should have. Seriously, you really have to push it in hard to get the Skydock to make contact with both the "+" and "-" contacts. Crutchfield is the best place to buy electronics. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic!!! Written By Anthony, Greeneville, TN on Monday, October 26, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you want to subscribe to XM Radio or just play the songs and movies on your Ipod Touch or Iphone this is what you have been waiting for. Just download the XM Skydock App from the Itunes store to use with your current subscription or if this is your first XM receiver you can activate it online or by phone. The Skydock is very well made and will bend into all kinds of positions to fit where you put it into the car. I am using mine with the built in FM Connect transmitter and the sound is great!! Even if you do not subscribe to XM this will play all your songs and videos or podcasts and you will have it at arms length in the car. Buy it you will love it!!! 160 out of 175 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box?

VCU Defeats Men's Basketball, 79-71
Wednesday, November 21, 2001JOHNSON CITY, Tenn -- East Tennessee State senior guard Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.) came just one point shy of a career high, scoring 29 points, but it was not enough to stop Virginia Commonwealth University, as the Rams defeated the Bucs 79-71. VCU came out on a 12-2 run to start the game and led by as many as 13 (20-7) with 14:11 left in the first half. But East Tennessee clawed back into the game, led almost single-handedly by Childress. Dimeco scored 21 points in the first half, hitting 8-of-12 shots from the floor and 4-of-6 from three-point range. The Bucs took the lead at 27-25 with 8:51 left in the half and entered the locker room with a 37-35 advantage. The score remained close throughout the first eight minutes of the second half before VCU went on a 9-0 run to go from two points down (44-46) to seven points up (53-46) at the 11:39 mark. Willie had four points and Taylor three during that stretch. The Buccaneers would get as close as four points (74-70) on a trey by Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) with 1:43 left, but the Rams hit all five of their free throws in the final minute to seal the win. Childress shot 10-17 for the night, 5-8 from three-point range. Wadood scored 16 points on 6-13 shooting and 2-3 from behind the arc. He also added a game-high eight rebounds. The Bucs return to action as they face South Carolina on Monday, Nov. 26 at 7:30 p.m. from Columbia, S.C.

Modified Medium Trust on Cloud Sites
The Rackspace Cloud's Windows environment operates in modified Medium Trust.
The "trust level" refers to permissions set in the Web.config file that dictate what operations can and cannot be performed by web applications. Our ASP.NET 3.5 servers use the default Medium Trust level with the addition of OleDbPermission, OdbcPermission, ConfigurationPermission, ReflectionPermission, a less-restrictive WebPermission and SocketPermission as detailed below:
- WebPermission Unrestricted="true"
- OleDbPermission Unrestricted="true"
- OdbcPermission Unrestricted="true"
- SocketPermission Unrestricted="true"
- ConfigurationPermission Unrestricted="true"
- ReflectionPermission Unrestricted="true"
Using a Medium Trust level prevents applications from accessing shared system resources and eliminates the potential for application interference. Adding OleDbPermission and OdbcPermission allows applications to use those data providers to access databases. WebPermission is modified to allow outbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic. SocketPermission is modified to allow better access to payment services. Adding ConfigurationPermission allows methods or classes to access configuration files. Adding ReflectionPermission allows access to non-public types and members.
Applications operating under a Medium Trust level have no registry access, and no access to the Windows event log. Both network and file system access will be limited.
Running Applications under Medium Trust
DotNetNuke can be installed in our modified Medium Trust environment by following our guide. If you do encounter any issues with the installation of the CMS, please report the issue to our support team, post in our forums, or visit DotNetNuke's community forums.
Per this article at ASPDotNetStoreFront's website:
"Beginning with version 126.96.36.199, the software will run in Medium Trust natively. Customers on earlier versions than that will need to contact ASPDotNetStoreFront's support with their original order number for a special medium trust build."
Umbraco can be configured to run in a Medium Trust environment.
BlogEngine works in our modified Medium Trust environment. If you do encounter any issues with the installation of the CMS, please report the issue to our support team, post in our forums, or visit BlogEngine's community forums.
mojoPortal works in our modified Medium Trust environment. If you do encounter any issues with the installation of the CMS, please report the issue to our support team, post in our forums, or visit mojoPortal's community forums.
Partially Trusted Callers
If you do experience trust-related issues, it may relate to assemblies that do not allow Partially Trusted Callers. For additional information on this, please review Microsoft's documentation regarding Partially Trusted Callers here and here (these are components that will NOT work with Partially Trusted Callers).
Many components also have support documentation concerning functioning in a Medium Trust.
Other Items
The Rackspace Cloud has been working with Persists, the creator of AspJpeg, to determine if their component will work under .NET in our modified Medium Trust environment. It should be noted, however, that the AspJpeg component is fully functional under Classic ASP.
FileIO requires an elevated set of permissions to allow directory and/or file creation. There are two ways around the documented Microsoft FileIO bug that prevents folder creation via .NET under modified Medium Trust.
(1) Upgrade your application to run under .NET 4.0 - the FileIO issue has been resolved by Microsoft in the .NET 4.0 CLR.
(2) Request that a symlink be created for your domain. This establishes a new root path and circumvents the original issues associated with the FileIO bug.
NOTE: In either case, it is still necessary that you use impersonation. This allows the proper elevated credentials to perform the directory/file creation. Please see the following article for more information:
How Do I Add Impersonation To My Website?
