Customer Review
I bought my Pioneer XMP3 from Best Buy one year ago. It stopped working after about 4 months for unknown reasons, but I took it back to Best Buy with the receipt. They told me Pioneer did not service these units and instead authorized Best Buy to exchange it. Thus, I got a new unit from Best Buy at no extra cost, and it works very well in both the car docking and the home docking. It does not work well at the office because I have an office with a window facing the north rather than the necessary south direction. It also did not work as advertised outdoors at first. I expected it to work well out doors for jogging and biking as advertised, but the built-in antenna is not sufficient. There is an optional sports arm band leather carry case and optional head set antenna. Once I bought those options, it now works great while jogging or biking. Pioneer should include the antenna head set with the receiver since they present it as fully portable. Nevertheless, I now fully enjoy it. I paid a much lower price a year ago than it now sells for. I am not sure the current price of between 0 to 0 with only home docking and without car kit is worth it. I bought it a year ago for about 0 and it was on special including the home kit and also the car kit at no extra cost.
If you just need a dock and play to transport from car to home, you can do better with another unit such as the Audiovox XM Xpress RCi (XDRCV1), but if you want a satellite radio to use for jogging or biking, the Pioneer XMP3 with the optional headset antenna and sports arm band leather carry case is your best bet!!! I love it!

Received my radio on Wednesday of this week and was absolutely elated with it. It was smaller than I had imagined it would be, and I got a great deal on XM service for the year. I spent Wednesday and Thursday listening to music, and had a blast with the guy just sitting at my desk or talking the dogs for a walk. Then, Friday evening, I decided to hook up the home kit to my stereo. I hooked up the antenna and the line out into my receiver, but noticed there was a horrible buzz coming over the line. I adjusted the cable into the XMP3, noticing it was a bit loose and not plugged all the way in, upon doing this I noticed no more buzz, but no sound either. I grabbed my headphones, undocked it, and... sure enough, no sound through the headphones either. I've spent the last hour trying to fix it, but have had no luck resetting the default settings, trying to flash the firmware, taking out the battery and reseating it on and off of the cradle. It's too late to call XM or Pioneer tonight, but I'm really ticked off. Two days, and I can't use the radio at all. It still boots up, it still works fine, you just can't hear anything out of either the line out or the headphone jack. This is a completely worthless product and I will be returning it promptly.
A few more things of note:
The battery life is far less than 6 hours of live music. If not plugged in, I'm lucky to get through 3 hours. Second, the backlight never turns off. It dims, but it is always on. This is a complete waste of batteries and it should definitely give you an option to blank the screen if you don't need to see it.
Reception is a mixed bag. I actually got it great in doors, but it would cut out for no reason in the car or outside in seemingly open areas. It's not bad, but it isn't perfect either
Sound quality is decent, but I don't blame the radio for this. More or less, I just think XM is over compressed at times. It probably just seems a bit worse through headphones where everything is amplified.
Overall this is a great looking and very nice to carry around unit, but the trouble people have with it is no lie or exaggeration... Two days, and mine is no longer functioning. I see no reason this product should be on the market. Yes, I should have listened to the bad reviews here, I've learned my lesson. I'm shocked at the quality of this device and will definitely be giving Pioneer an ear full in the morning.
