Delphi MyFi XM2GO

Delphi MyFi XM2GO Introduction

Thanks to Delphi’s MyFi XM2go receiver, you can roam where you want and bring XM with you everywhere you go! MyFi works as both a portable player and a plug-and-play receiver, so whether you’re driving down the freeway, lounging in your den, or jogging around the neighborhood, you won’t have to go without XM ever. And you can even record up to five hours of your favorite programming so you can have access to it at any time!

Delphi MyFi XM2GO Design

Smaller than a PDA, the receiver exudes greatness even before you hear it: it’s just heavy enough to seem solidly built yet light enough to merit the term “portable.” Receiver measures 2.8 x 4.5 x 1.2 inches (W x H x D). Item weight: 10.5 ounces (.66 pounds) with battery.

Delphi MyFi XM2GO Features

An illuminated six-line LCD is your gateway to browsing XM’s programming. You can browse by station, by category, or (our favorite) by currently playing artist. Thirty channel presets simplify access to your favorites, and a handy memo button stores artist and song data for up to 20 performances you’d like to look into later (or find again on XM). My XM lets you record XM programming to MyFi’s onboard memory–perfect for time shifting your listening (as with a news program or a scheduled performance on XM Live) or for tuning in when you’ll be someplace lacking XM reception (in a canyon, on a subway, in a windowless cubicle, etc.). You can schedule a recording or start and stop recording at any time you wish, and new recordings pick up where you last stopped.

Delphi MyFi XM2GO Performance

Any satellite radio system requires a fairly heavy-duty antenna. Accordingly, the MyFi comes with four: one for the home (place it in a south-facing window), one for the car (mount it on the roof or trunk), a clip-on antenna for when you’re hoofing it, and a built-in antenna.
