 2nd XpressR, 2nd screen failureMay 23, 2011
By J. Derry
Despite the reviews that said the screen died after a year, I decided to buy this radio (albeit a slightly different model) a couple of years ago. Just like the reviews, the backlight began to flicker, then completely go dead within days.
Because I am lazy and wanted the easy way out, I decided to then buy this model so I could hook everything up to existing wiring. Also, I hoped maybe since it was a newer model, the previous problem would have been fixed.
Wrong! Just like the last one, the backlight began to die within weeks of the warranty expiring. It's my own fault, but I figured the least I could do is warn everyone else.
Sure, the screen is pretty and it does all sorts of things, but your screen WILL die in about a year. The radio (and presets) will continue to work, but you will not be able to see the screen.
And all of those great reviews ... they're all from people who just got the radio. Ask them a year from now if they're still happy, and I'd be willing the vast majority would say no.

 Should have been advertised as a disposableOct 19, 2011
By W. Tanksley
I have had no problems with this receiver until just a little after the one year mark. Like other units that have been reviewed, the screen on mine started flickering and now has all but gone completely black. What a joke! They should have advertised it as a disposable. Now I'm really screwed because I have it installed in my car and also bought the home unit.
**Follow up - contacted the manufacturer regarding this problem. Their response:
The warranty on the unit is for one year. If you are within this period you may contact Delphi Warranty Center at 1.877.463.3574. If you are not within the warranty period, unfortunately Delphi does not have an authorized repair center at this time.
In other words, we don't care.

Black Screen - about 1.5yrs oldFeb 17, 2011
By ajinhawaii
Like most reviews show - the screen failed at about a year. I was driving to work today, and watched as it flickered from bright to dark, and then died completely. The radio still works, and my presets are just fine - I can only tune at night when I can see the display. XM radio is just okay - not great, and despite the hype commercials are taking up most of the air time on popular channels.

 No regrets on this one!Apr 06, 2011
By olie1203
I haven't had any problems with the radio itself and have had it for nearly a year now. I installed it myself in just about 10 minutes or so, which was pretty surprising to me since I'm not very good at any type of electronic install or setup.
The subscription is about $15 a month. I'm not sure why people are complaining about commercials? I listen to all sorts of stations, alternative, classical, cinema soundtracks, symphony, 90's, hip hop, old school rap, current main stream, Rosie O donell in the morning etc.. there are no commercials. The only commercials are on the actual TV stations that broadcast on the radio, like CNN, MSNBC, Oprah radio, headline news, etc. Those have commercials because they are actual TV show's, not technically XM or Sirius stations. The stations that are generated by sirius or XM have no commercials.
Anyways, if you want satellite radio, this is the one to pick. It has great graphics and great options. You can save up to 10 songs. There is a rewind button, you can hit rewind and go back to previous songs you listened to. I also bought the docking radio station for it, so I can listen to my radio in the car and in my work and home. The docking station is awesome (An AudioVox XMBB1)!! It gets so incredibly loud and has deep bass, almost sounds like a surround sound system. For such a small monthly fee, this service is totally worth it.

Great...for about a yearJul 31, 2011
By Steveo
Don't buy this.. The screen goes black after about a year..
This is my second Xpress...when it works..it is great. Color screen, pause, view multiple stations etc.. It was everything I wanted. The first one went black and I replaced it..a year goes by and so does the screen on the new radio. I am not willing to replace this every year!
