Molly Stevens at 7:47pm 4th July 2006 I agree with the picky antenna however I have had mine since December '05 and I have no problems with the hook up at all.... However the docking station components are REALLY first generation and sometimes even when it is plugged in if you move it or go over a bump in the car the connection of the electricity to the module is interrupted causing it to shut off.
Jason Risland at 7:44am 18th February 2006 My wife got me a Sanyo CRSR-10 for my birthday this month (2-06). The book is very vague when it comes to hooking it up for audio and troubleshooting in general. I called Sirius to clear things up and was told they don't print all the books. In this case Sanyo does. I go to the Sanyo website, only to find a picture of it but no information or access to information on this system. I had to do a search from my home page, and go through four diferent sites just to get to here. A junk system with no support and prices too high. The antenna system is extremely picky about no obstructions. EXTREMELY picky! Save your money and buy something with more user friendly instruction manuals and less problems with reception.
