Sirius Xact XTR3CK Visor Review at CNET
CNET gives us this Xact XTR3CK Visor Review today. No rating from the editor but two user reviews give it an 8 out of 10 and the other gives it a 10 out of 10.
This little plug-and-play Sirius satellite radio can be slipped above the sun visor in your car. The Xact XTR3 comes with a car docking kit(the home docking kit is an optional accessory). Unfortunately, you still need to run a power cable to a cigarette lighter. If this is a problem from above your visor, you can always mount the XTR3 Visor on it’s included stand(which looks pretty cool anyway.) If you want it above the visor, I would try to run the power wire down the side by the windshield and see if you can tuck the wire behind any moldings.
The Xact XTR3 does lack the ability to record and buffer shows(no rewinding to hear what you just heard) like on the Sirius Starmate Replay or Sirius Sportster Replay. It also is not capable of playing mp3 files or playing content while not hooked to a docking station like the Sirius S50.
The Xact XTR3 Visor model can be had for under $50 and is a good “beginner’s unit.”
