SIRIUS

Our take on the SiriusXM Lynx™

SiriusXM

The Lynx may be the most exciting satellite radio ever. It's a cool little touchscreen marvel that at times seems part-smartphone, part-DVR, part music player...but it's really something totally new. I got a chance to see it in action at a training session recently, and came away thinking, "Wow, the Lynx takes it upon itself to make sure you'll never, ever get bored."

Most importantly, the Lynx lets you take your SiriusXM Radio with you. No matter where you go, it'll keep your favorite shows right at hand — while it's connected to a satellite radio signal, it automatically records your five favorite channels. So when you grab it and head out the door, you've got enough content loaded to keep you entertained for quite a while. When connected to Wi-Fi, the Lynx lets you browse, select and rewind shows up to 5 hours in the past.

You can even store MP3s on a microSD™ memory card so you'll have your existing library on hand. You can listen to SiriusXM Internet Radio over a Wi-Fi network, and with the help of optional accessory kits, you can listen in your car and over your home stereo system. And since you can get a satellite radio signal from coast to coast, you won't lose your music when you're on the road.

XTRA CHANNELS
The Lynx gives you access to all the channels you already love — plus, with either a SiriusXM Select, Premier or All Access package, you'll get more than 20 new XTRA CHANNELS, including:

  • more commercial-free music
  • more sports
  • more entertainment
  • SiriusXM Latino, which gives you 12+ Spanish-language channels

Listen at home with the home dock
Listen in your car with the car dock

Listen over a Wi-Fi network
With a SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription, you can listen over the Internet when the Lynx is connected to a Wi-Fi network. While connected, you can view album art and even artist bios (when available) on the big color screen. And if you join a show late, the Start Now feature lets you go back to the beginning.

SiriusXM Lynx Radio Replays

Listen to your favorite channels...on your time
Once the Lynx is docked and receiving a live satellite signal, it'll record your favorite channels using its Radio Replays feature. It can capture up to 200 hours of programming, including up to five channels at once. That way, you'll have plenty of content to check out when you grab the Lynx and go.

Stream SiriusXM Radio with built-in Bluetooth®
Built-in Bluetooth lets you stream programming from the Lynx to a compatible device, like a car stereo, headphones, or the home dock (not included). So for instance, when your home dock is connected to your home stereo, you can pick up the Lynx, sit on your couch, and browse other channels without interrupting the show you're currently enjoying.

Gorgeous touchscreen, cool features
You can tap your way through your favorite channels on the Lynx' large touchscreen. You can also pause, rewind, and replay live programming, plus find out what's playing on another channel while you're listening. ShowFinder™ lets you know when your favorite shows are scheduled — tap the screen, and you'll get an alert when one comes on. And if you switch to one of your five favorite SiriusXM channels in the middle of a song, no problem — Tune Start will bring you back to the beginning so you don't miss a thing.

Note: A subscription to SiriusXM is also required. Satellite radio service is available only within Canada and the lower 48 states — not available in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. SiriusXM Select, Premier, All Access, or SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription plan needed to get XTRA CHANNELS.

Highlights:

  • Wi-Fi enabled portable SiriusXM satellite radio
  • can tune in SiriusXM XTRA CHANNELS
  • record your favorite satellite radio channels for listening later
  • pause, rewind, and replay live SiriusXM Radio
  • full-color touchscreen display
  • built-in Bluetooth
  • microSD card slot for MP3s
  • warranty: 90 days
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Lynx Review

Written By Lynx User, Midwest on Wednesday, February 01, 2012
 
Love the new Lynx. Only had one problem. Put the radio in my purse and then it wouldn't power up. Called Crutchfield and they were very helpful. Just needed to open up battery compartment and reinsert battery and then it powered right up. Have not had this problem before so maybe just a one time occurrence. So far it is wonderful. Had to learn to scroll at little differently than on the Iphone. Have to push down just a tad harder without lifting up any while scrolling so as not to push on a station by accident. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy. Like that music and shows are recorded in the background if on satellite more than 15 minutes, this way I can take the radio to my other car and only need the aux jack to play recorded the music and recorded shows.
Pros:
The favorites at the bottom of the screens make it easier to find stations. Nice display. Easy to move from place to place because so small. Always have current music available even when not connected to wifi or satellite because of replay feature.
Cons:
Battery needed to be reinserted on one occasion. Wish docks were cheaper.

SiriusXM Lynx - this radio rocks!!!

Written By SG, New York, NY on Saturday, May 05, 2012
 
I just bought the SiriusXM Lynx and it absolutely rocks! Between the easy touchscreen interface, the radios ability to rewind, pause, go back 5 hours in time, and it's ability to listen to one song while viewing what's currently playing on EVERY other station is awesome. Not to mention the bread & butter of satellite radio which is commercial free music segmented by genre, decades, style, etc, while being hosted by real DJ's who pull out songs you've long forgotten and/or new songs you never new were out there. It truly makes radio personal & fun again. Finally they also offer every major sports broadcast, across all teams, across the whole nation along with unparalleled talk radio from Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, Oprah, and on and on and on, in the best user interface ever - go buy yourself a Lynx and rock out!!!!

SiriusXM Lynx

Written By T.G., Houston Tx on Monday, March 05, 2012
 
I have been a XM subscriber since the beginning and have had many of units thru the years. The Lynx is the best so far with features and controls. I had been waiting for a full Wifi and Bluetooth with the option of an MicroSD card for MP3 use. The unit is almost perfect except they dropped the scheduled record feature which has become a valued option for many of us. I upgraded from my Pioneer Inno and really loved the Lynx. I am just very disappointed I can't schedule my own channel recordings. There are shows that are on late at night that I liked recording. That feature should really be put back. Other than that issue, the Lynx is a very good unit and hopefully the next software release will fix some of the issues.
Pros:
Wifi, Bluetooth, MicroSD storage for mp3 playback.
Cons:
Unable to schedule your own channel recordings. Mp3 Playback seems sluggish.

My First Impressions

Written By NortyFiners, NJ on Sunday, January 08, 2012
 
I give this radio a B+. It's definitely an upgrade over any of the previous portable radios Sirius and XM had to offer. All of the negatives I posted about it can be fixed with a simple software update. Even if they don't update what I want it's still a good radio.
Pros:
-Finally a touch screen! ! ! -Satellite reception is great. -Starts songs from the beginning automatically when first tuning into a station. -The timeshift feature is cool. If I tune in to the end of the Howard Stern show I can go back five hours and start it from the beginning.
Cons:
-It has a cheap feel to it. It's light which is nice, but I can't help but to feel that if I drop it once it is all over :( -I can only rewind/fast foward up to five songs per hour? Really Sirius? Why? -It lacks the true "on demand" features I was hoping for. Would be nice to listen to a show from days ago instead of the past 5 hours. Also, Pandora like features wouldn't hurt.

XM Lynx review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

 
I have only had the radio for two days and just finding out how it works. Touch screen is nice and setup easy. The bluetooth works fine when unit is remote to home kit base connection using WiFi. Not happy that satellite capability does not work when undocked. Also not happy that you cannot program recording by date and time but only by recording the last 8 hours of a favorites channel. The recorded programming is through the replay function in the library mode. The speaker is not the greatest and it sounds much better when a powered speaker system is used. So far, overall, it seems good but could use the suggested improvements to be great.
Pros:
Nice display and touch screen. Menu is easy to use for playing and setup.
Cons:
Cannot set up record programming by time and date.

Mixed Review

Written By Mike, Charlottesville on Thursday, April 05, 2012
 
I had a xm3pi and it died. I tried this lynx model thinking the newer would be better. Great radio if you are only listening live via antenna or if you listen through wifi there is a little delay. Much like if you are using the I phone app. If you are recording content and trying to listen later, this unit is a huge dissapointment. If you can get it to record, you have to schedule a program first. Then it records it but when you go back to replay you start back at the beginning. The more content you have it still starts at the beginning. The old xm3pi works much much better for recorded content. I am returning this unit and buying another xm3pi. Crutchfield support was outstanding like always and highly recommend them for their service alone. I really like the radio but they need to fix the way it records and the play back feature. If they fix this I would buy it immediately.
Pros:
Great radio if you are only listening live via antenna or if you listen through wifi there is a little delay. Much like if you are using the I phone app
Cons:
Huge dissapointment for recorded content. I contacted support and it is just the way it works. I returned mine. The main reason is I record content, such as the Ron and Fez show, during work and listen to it later on my hour long commute.
