Was curious and did a quick google image search for this model and found:

Is this what you're referring to?

I looked at them yesterday at Best Buy. I'm gonna get one, and asked alot of questions. What do you want to know?

 

[insomniac99]

just want to make sure they have descent performane in the air. I have a friend with an xm inno that says his doesn't work above 3000 ft

They are so new, I am having a hard time finding anyone with airborne experience with the units either.

I've had a Sirius receiver in my car for over a year. No complaints. Great reception and selection.

XM works fine above 3,000'. XM radio/weather services are in all of our G1000 aircraft and I'm at an airport above 5,000'.

I just bought a Stilleto a few days ago and took it on a flight the other day from MA to IA. It was horrible. It kept cutting out every 10 or so seconds. I was using the included headset/antenna and the internal antenna. Both had same results. However, I had the same results driving down the road in a car. I had to shut the thing down because it was driving me crazy trying to move the antenna all over the cockpit trying to find the best reception.

So I am hoping that if I buy the car kit I will get better reception with the antenna the car kit comes with.

Does it work well at slow speeds? I am very interested to know how it works with the kit.
