Pioneer's inno is the complete entertainment package. It's a satellite radio that lets you listen to live XM broadcasts at home, when you're out and about on foot, and even in the car with the help of an accessory kit.
The inno lets you store individual songs and entire blocks of programming from XM, and listen to them anytime you'd like. It even gives you the capacity to upload some of your favorite MP3 and WMA files, and create playlists that include MP3s/WMAs and the songs you've recorded from XM. And it packs all this in a compact, easy-to-tote package that's about the size of the average cell phone.
Bright display, user-friendly controls
Check out the inno's vivid, full-color display. It delivers all channel, artist, and song information using text that's easy to see, even in bright sunlight. Pioneer designed the compact inno with only five user-friendly buttons, which let you scroll through menus, record songs, save preset channels, and much more.
Storing XM content, loading MP3s
If you hear a song you like, you can save it by pressing a couple of buttons. Or you can press a button and have the inno record a block of programming especially great if you'd like to enjoy XM in areas where you don't get reception. And you can schedule the inno to record future programming, in case there's a show on later that you don't want to miss.
You can record up to 50 hours of XM songs and programming in the inno's memory. You can also store MP3 music files up to half of the memory can be used. When you've uploaded your MP3s and WMAs, you can mix them in with your XM songs to create your ideal playlist.
The inno also offers other popular features like TuneSelect, which lets you save the names of up to 20 song titles and/or artist names and alerts you anytime one of them is playing. For easy channel surfing, you can also save 99 of your favorite channels as presets.
A true portable
Pioneer built the inno to be a true portable, with a built-in antenna that picks up the live XM signal anywhere that's free of obstructions. When you plan to leave the house, just charge up the battery, plug in the included earbuds, and go.
Accessories
Hear a song you like? The package includes a CD-ROM containing XM + Napster software. You can bookmark songs you like on the inno, then go online and purchase them through Napster. You'll build up a comprehensive musical library in no time at all.
The inno comes with the accessories you'll need to play it over your home stereo, including a home cradle, indoor antenna, power adapter, and audio cable. A car kit is available separately if you'd like to play the inno in your car. With this car kit, you can take full advantage of the inno's ability to transmit the XM signal through your vehicle's FM radio.*
The inno is only compatible with Pioneer's CD-INCAR2 car kit, and does not work with older model CD-INCAR1.
Note: A subscription to XM is also required — learn about XM's programming. Satellite radio service is available only within Canada and the lower 48 states not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories.

*Important note from Crutchfield: Current FCC rules limit the transmission strength of wireless FM transmitters to a point where transmission needs to take place very near your FM antenna. XM includes a SureConnect cable with its car kits in order to address this issue, but Crutchfield strongly encourages customers to use an auxiliary input, wired FM modulator, or cassette adapter to ensure your satisfaction with the performance and cosmetics of this satellite radio.
