Just bought one off of Ebay.  I should get it this week and will do a post once I have a handle on it's performance.

Thanks...my thought is, I may replace my current stationary unit in one car with this one for car(s) AND bike.

[The Mysterious Q!]

I'd be interested as well. I have the MYFI in my car now and its a behemoth compared to the Inno.

I have used my Inno about a week.  I am having problems with the on/off switch and will probably have to send it back. Other than that the quality is excellent.  Very easy to record music from XM.  It comes with docking station for charging and installing to a home stereo.  Includes patch cord for connection to stereo as well as hook up to computer should you care to download music from that source.  Prices are coming down on ebay.  Last time I looked you could buy one for around $290

I have looked at the Inno as well.  I was somewhat concerned  [smiley=confused5.gif] about
the quality of the internal antenna and how it would work on the bike.  Previously I was considering the Delphi Roady 2 until I saw the Inno.  So I too would be pleased to get feedback.
As info you can get a bracket for the Inno on www.bracketron.com I am told
thanks

I'm also in the same boat. I was looking into the roady2 or roadyXT for my bike when I came across this portable unit. Any information anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated. Also where have you that have the roady2 or XT installed the antenna? And which is better the 2 or XT?

I have been thinking about an Inno, myself
My scooter has the factory XM Satellite system but the Inno would be great for bicycle or boat rides.
I do have to say that I think the Pioneer brand is a good manufacture as I have a couple of the Pioneer Plasma TVs

[Jock]

I have found a couple of folk that have them, however no one utilizing them on a bike as of yet.  The folks that have them, love 'em.  It is my intent to get one around Christmas when the price is expected to come down another $50.

I have had one for several months.  I do not use it on my bike but could with the optional car kit. Reception is much improved over the earlier mobil xm units.  It incorporated many of the ipod features in an xm receiver package.

How is your reception w/ the internal antenna? Do you get alot of fading in and out?

if your stationary or in an area that has terrestrial antennas no problem.
if you are jogging or walking it is finnicky.  Belton has a headset that doubles as an antenna that i am told is not as comfortable as the stock headphones but do a better job  w/reception.  I use mine in a car, at home and while traveling.  Works great so long as you have a South facing window on the internal antenna.

Anybody use this on their bike that can give us a report on antenna reception for the XM radio side of it? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I have one and love it, BUT..... just so you know, The FM trasnmitter feature has been disabled in the software unless the car kit is used. The FCC came down on them saying it was to powerful. The early models with the early software still function but not any you get now. This means it has to be in the car dock and I just bought one on ebay so I will see how it works with that this weekend. Reception is good with the built in antenna but havent tried it on the bike just yet as I would have to use the patch cord. I might still do that, bought an extra fuel cap cover door to modify and mount it if I have to. The storage is huge so I just tuned in top tracks and recorded a ton of that and will just listen back to that until I rig up an antenna if it gives me reception problems with the built in one.
