- I feel lucky...
- I have not had any of the problems listed here with my Stiletto car kit. My FM transmitter works superior to the one I was replacing. I plugged it in, switched my account to my new unit and have no static. It broadcasts on the same channel and more clearly than my last model. I am completely satisfied and did not have to purchase any extra parts, or hardwire in.
The mounting clips are exactly the same as my other XM unit and have worked well on that one for 5 years.
My husband has the Pioneer Inno and we prefer the Stiletto device but just can't give up the dual programming. - 2007-12-12, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- If you drive something smaller than a minivan, don't bother.
- I am generally unsatisfied with the Sirius Stiletto, but especially with the car kit. I drive a Buick Century, a good, solid mid-sized car, and the car adapter is so big and bulky that I can't use it. In a Buick Century. We are not talking about a tiny Nissan or Kia. We are talikng about a Buick! The adhesive for the dashboard mount is too weak to support the weight of the unit with the radio. I LOVE Sirius radio, I may eventually pay to have the internal satellite antenna put into my car. But the Stiletto is a disappointment.

- Works fine, but cludgy design overall
- I love my Stiletto, and love my Stiletto home kit. The car kit? Not so much. It works fine - as far as reception, etc - but the design of the dock is not so hot on the fit and finish, and the mounting arm, etc - it's all just a bit cheezy and hard to deal with. Inserting the Stiletto into the dock is a 2 handed job, and things don't seem to line up so well - so you need to use a little force, and that is not something I like to do when dealing with connections on electronic devices! Another annoyance is - before you can use your Stiletto in the car after hooking up to the dock, you have to wait an interminable time for it to 'connect' so you are stuck looking at the cute Sirius dog and some stars that show you the progress of your connection - can't use the MP3 player ability or anything else until it connects. This is really annoying - my dedicated Sirius car radios do not take that much time to sync up - and in fact, if I just use the Stilletto in my car 'as-is' =without= the car dock, it syncs up super fast/no problem. Anyway - I wanted to love this car dock - but it is the weakest link in my Stiletto accessory collection, cheezy, cludgy and definitely not worth paying full price for!

- Car Kit Only Works When Car is Warm
- Strange one. I purchased my Stiletto and Car Kit from Circuit City. I had them install it. They direct wired the Car Kit to my 2002 Subraru. After I got the car home - a three hour drive, the next day the Car Kit would not power on. Then in the afternoon it would power up. Then in the morning would not power up. It had a mind of its own. It seems that the kit only powers up when the interior of the car is warm? Not a good thing for Colorado.
I called Sirius to no avail. - Take it back to Circuit City thay said. I ask them if I could have them ship me a cig lighter adaptor - no - have to buy a new car kit to get that.
Called Circut City - The problem is they of course have to see it. I wanted to see if I could resolve this issue w/o driving back up to Denver just for that. No Luck - The best advise I got from both Circuit City and Sirius was to buy another Car Kit and have some one local install it. - 2007-10-04, 3 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- sirius stiletto car kit
- The kit is easy to install and use, however the extended FM transmitter is very very weak so I had to purchase another additional FM transmitter so that I can get a clear signal.This should be standard with the kit.
