I can’t say much about the unit because it came to me dead.

We bought two units and a boombox. The first unit is still going strong after 1 1/2 years has been moved from vehicle to vehicle. The second unit was spotty from the start. It really had issues after was used in the boombox for only the second time. Now there is a short and it has not been right since. Buyer beware. SIDE NOTE we also have a Starmate and it is has been replaced TWICE in less than a year. The first time it just wouldn’t get any reception and the second time the antenna broke off with minimal wear and tear. It was bought from Sirius and they have stood behind the product, but you pay for shipping and are without a radio.

After seeing this product in action from my co-worker at work, I had to purchase one! It does run hot to touch when used in a vehicle on a hot day without air conditioning. There is a large interior heat sink in the back, and this makes the display blur after it gets hot. When the small unit cools down, the blurred display gets restored to normal operation. I am concerned about the long-term life of this unit, given how warm it runs. I have used it for 13 months every day without issue.

I bought this unit from Amazon for $46 and I use it daily at work. I drive a garbage truck and the unit gets a good shaking from me picking up and emptying up to 1000 bins each day. The unit does run hot but it has worked faultlessly despite hitting the floor a couple of times

Unit gets so hot it leads to other problems. The LCD display is almost unreadable due to the heat. It is nearly untouchable due to the heat. The power cord disconects everytime you hit a bump or touch the unit which makes it hard to change stations and also bad if you were into something you were listening to! I also believe the power cord issue is heat related since the adapter plug gets soft after use because of the heat.
I also called customer service on an un-related issue and they are HORRIBLE! I personally will NEVER buy another Xact product if I can help it.
