Sirius XACT XTR8CK Review From Amazon Users
This review of the Sirius XACT XTR8CK comes from Amazon users. Six reviewers give it an average of 3 out of 5 stars.
The Sirius XACT XTR8CK can store up to 45 minutes of content, has a built in wireless FM transmitter, has a wireless remote and comes with accessories to mount the XTR8CK in your car.
The reviews for this unit are a mixed bag. Two 1 star reviews, two 3 star reviews, and two 5 star reviews.
First the bad, one user said he had a problem with the car adapter and can only use the unit in his house now. Another user said the 12v adapter fell apart after one day of use and had trouble getting XACT to replace it.
Another user said the unit works fine in his car but when he plugged the power cord in to use it in his house, the cord stopped working. One other user said the unit stopped transmitting through the FM transmitter and returned it to the store, he tried to get another one but they were sold out and got a Starmate ST2 instead.
The other two reviews are the 5 star ones and they have nothing but nice stuff to say about the XACT XTR8CK. They both report great signal acquisition and ease of use.

The music on Sirius is great. But…if you ever need customer service help or technical assistance, good luck! Every time I’ve called them, I’ve waited on hold up to 15 minutes or more. (One of their Customer Service reps told me 10-15 minutes was “normal”!) When I called once for technical assistance, the tech guy who took my call told me my system was out of warranty, and then put me back into the main phone queue so I could get recorded help! The music is great, but their customer support is terrible.
Thanks,
Dave
I haven’t had to call tech support yet *fingers crossed* but I like the service. I rarely listen to the music(although the commercial freeness rocks.) I mostly listen to Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge.
The one issue I have is I get an erratic signal in my house. This won’t be a problem once they start streaming Howard/Bubba over the web - but for now it’s a minor problem.
Thanks for leaving a comment!
