XM SkyDock installation. Right from the box to converting your iPod Touch or iPhone into an XM satellite radio in 3 minutes. Probably less than two minutes if you read the quick start manual that comes in the box. You will get the full channel line up of XM and add the Best of Sirius for everything satellite radio has to offer. This dock will also play your iTunes library via the line out or Sirius XM’s “Power Connect” technology. Easily transferable to another vehicle that has a cigarette lighter.

One question why does he need the Skydock if his truck is xm /sirius ready
Nice Video and Nice F-150
I don’t have an iPhone and use the iPod Touch instead. I have heard when using an iPhone, a call will interrupt the XM radio. Hopefully some one with first hand experience will chime in.
Excellent review! Thanks! Answered all my questions except for what happens when a call comes in? Does it go through the SkyDock? Straight to speaker phone? Or do you have to yank the phone out of the dock to answer?
Thanks GNDOTY, nice and informative vid.
lol my fathers world war 2 knife
Well Im really enjoying it currently
Pandora is through the internet not sat
That was the reason whY I didnt get it:(
I just got mine for a 03 maxima and it has a cassette also so I just need to buy an adapter now.
The XM SkyDock will only work on the XM Satellite radio network. Packages start at $9.99 a month.
Thank you GNDOTY, Ive had mine for about a week now and love it! My ONLY complaint is that it isnt telescoping. Since I own a 09 accord the only accessable cigarette outlet is located to where I have to look down to change the channel on the skydock. Other then that I LOVE it
so you do have to pay the monthly fee for the sirius radio? how much is that?
Does the audio from phone calls go through the SkyDock or the built-in iPhone speaker?
@weapondrift
I still highly recommend the XM SkyDock. Several of my friends that have seen it have bought it.
GNDOTY…how are you liking the skydock now? I should be expecting mine sometime later today. Has your opinion of the skydock changed any since you bought it?
With an iPhone, yes.
Can you listen to Pandora via skydock?
Can you use your iphone with that plugged in….just wondering if I can access GPS then switch back to sirius while driving.
well you would need the skydock app as that is the control for the FM transmitter. But yeah I’m assuming you have an iphone, the Sirius XM internet radio app would work perfectly on the skydock. just like any other FM dock would.
Very true. I’m ok with my Sirius sub. There are times I want to listen to my iPod library (since they cancelled the Punk channel). So I still have been considering buying this. I’m sure I could still use the Sirius XM app and not the Skydock app. Although it’s missing some of my essentials.
Great review. Thanks
you do need XM with the best of Sirius subscription for the skydock to work for XM Satellite radio. However it works perfectly fine with no subscription at all as an ipod touch or iphone FM dock.,
This is an XM radio and you will need to subscribe to XM. XM with the best of Sirius is the best way to go with our without using the SkyDock, in my opinion. It all depends on your sports, talk and entertainment preferences.
I’m a Sirius subscriber. Would I need a XM with a best of Sirius sub to get this to work? I”m hearing some say Sirius subs are fine and others say you need XM.
I just got off the phone with Sirius and he wanted to direct me to XM. I didn’t have the feeling he was up to date on this unit.
