Problems with skyfi2

You most likely need a new dock with a solid DC jack connection. Also, there is a "lock" on the back of the dock to hold your SkyFi tuner in the dock tighter. I'd give you one of my docks if you lived nearby! Good luck and let us know what you find out.

You can get the manual on the link below. Just school down to product detail then colic on the manual link.

Good Luck please rate 4 thumbs up and please leave a testimonial

Is it in a CAR dock or in a HOME dock? Check your MENU settings.

Yes, you can buy an FM Direct adapter that will allow you to transmit directly to your car FM tuner, but if you have an older SkyFi2, the Fm transmitter is so strong, you can sit the radio on the floor and tune your car radio to your preset XM channel, like 107.1 FM and it will work great. Go into "Menu" and pick a channel that's not used locally.

I just had my dial pop out and pushed it back in, with limited use again. You may have cracked the circuit board. If so, I would buy another SkyFi2 from eBay, etc, so you can reuse all your accessories. IMO, the SkyFi2 is the BEST XM radio ever built in terms of features (until it hits concrete).

Do you have the FM Modulator settung turned ON? There is a seting in there somewhere.

go to google.com and type skyfi2 xm radio manual. you will find the manual there as a .pdf file.

The original SkyFi's display was quite difficult to see in the sunlight. The glare was too much. The new unit's display is a different material, and sunken in to alleviate the problem of glare.
The SkyFi2 also has TuneSelect. It was the first receiver to allow the user to enter the artist information for memory. Other units with TuneSelect only allowed song titles.
It also added a 3rd bank of presets, allowing for 30 presets instead of the original's 20 presets. SkyFi2 added the option of a stock ticker, or sports score ticker in the display. The original SkyFi's option of 3 different displays included the channel number only, to be displayed. Also, there is a built in FM modulator so you can set the tune on the reciever... and yes you will be able to use all of your accessories.
