Our take on the SiriusXM Lynx™

by Zak Billmeier
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."

All Access package - $199 per year - Get 2 months free compared with purchasing monthly

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.

Check out the awesome channel selection from SIRIUS/XM

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.

    Thank you CRUTCHFIELD

    Written By JA, Minneapolis on Saturday, May 11, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The receiver is a good product, as expected. I did have problems setting it up, however. Three separate calls to Sirius customer service, totaling over an hour in length, were an entire waste of time. It turned out that I knew more about the product that the people I talked to. After over an hour of frustration, I called Crutchfield.The service advisor there had the right answer that entirely fixed my problem in three minutes. Thank you, Lloyd!
    Pros:
    A basically decent product. And Crutchfield customer service advisors rock!
    Cons:
    Sirius customer service is worse than a waste of time.

    Lynx Radio

    Written By Anonymous, Hiram, ME on Friday, May 03, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I received the first Lynx radio over a month ago.the next day I installed the car docking system and put the radio in the car and within a few minutes the radio "locked" up.no sound. Reset the radio by powering down and power up and worked for about ten minutes and "locked" up but this time sounding like a CD skipping.this happened about ten or so time in an hour period, I tried every option from resetting the radio to factory defaults (the reset does not role back the updates to the firm ware and OS versions).to no avail the radio would fail through out the day with no rime to reason. I contacted Crutchfield support and the gentlemen walked me though some trouble shooting items with the radio.then agreed that the radio has a major issue. With no hesitation he sent me a new radio and a RMA UPS return label.no cost to the customer! I have nothing but praise to Crutchfield's support and customer retention to their customers, their customer satisfaction for me (had another return a few months ago on another product) is one hundred percent at this point. There are many other companies that should follow Crutchfield's example of customer satisfaction.great job to all at the company! The new radio arrived and I have not accepted the updates yet and the radio has been working great in either modes (SAT/Wi-Fi).I have had the radio for a couple of weeks now, I just don't dare to except the updates for the fact it may cause the radio to fail.
    Pros:
    The Lynx is a great unit to use from the vehicle to Wi-Fi, recorded modes or use the micro card with MP3 tunes.love the clear screen and the touch screen menus, the radio reception seems better than the old Sportster model that I had for years hope its lasts as long. Great support and customer satisfaction from Crutchfield!!!!!
    Cons:
    Are the updates from Sirius for the Lynx causing issues with the radio? No one can tell me either way from Sirius support...they need to find out if they want to sell more of the units. Other than that its a great radio...even with the first issue it has nothing to do with the quality of the radio directly...it may be a software issue. Thats why I give it 4 stars.

    Great Radio

    Written By GeorgeE, California on Friday, May 03, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I love my new radio. I have had sirius for the last five years and was excited to get it for the office. I do not use it at home and have set it to record a couple of shows so will probably start bringing it to the gym for working out. The screen is great, I like that it gives me all the info on the songs and artists. I have a friend in the office who has an Onyx, the Lynx is much better.
    Pros:
    The amount of storage space is phenomenal and the interface is pretty intuitive. The ability to record and playback is nice, I especially like being able to rewind when I miss something or want to hear a song again.
    Cons:
    It is a little slow at startup but that does not really bother me. I read some complaints about lag time between changing channels. I have had that a couple of times but when listening to music it doesn't matter because it will start at the beginning of the songs. I wish you did not need to have it connected to a base unit for it to get satellite. I did not mark it down for that because I knew that when I bought it, but it would be nice if it were truly portable.

    Best Satellite Radio!!!

    Written By KingFisch, NewKazoo, PA on Wednesday, May 01, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is the most advanced Satellite radio with touch screen features and also doubles as an internet browser when you are on WiFi, either at home or on the road, like motel or McDonalds! But, I particularly like the "DVR-like" feature of being able to record programs for later playback! Love this radio!
    Pros:
    Save 200 hours of programs for later playback.. like a DVR! Great touch screen features. Also is an internet browser when it connects to WiFi
    Cons:
    None yet!

    My Favorite Sirius Radio Yet

    Written By ag, Orlando, FL on Monday, April 29, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Previously there was nothing like a Starmate 2. I had a horrible experience with the Starmate 5 - waste of money. The Lynx is by far a better system. I am very happy with it to date.
    Pros:
    Can take it with you and works as both satellite and internet radio.
    Cons:
    Having a hard time selecting songs I want to be notified of when they play on other stations.

    SiriusXM Lynx™

    Written By chad, kannapolis, nc on Friday, April 26, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Works great as advertised. Can't beat the price.
    Pros:
    Portable device which is awesome. I can listen in the car or at home. Also you can listen to recorded radio with headphones.
    Cons:
    FM transmitter is weak. Works great if you have an auxiliary port on your radio otherwise you will get a lot of interference from radio stations. Also this is classified as an XM radio stop of you have a Sirius subscription you will lose those channels such as NFL and Howard Stern.

    NO Working with Sat. Radio & Headphones

    Written By Anonymous, Sun Valley, CA on Friday, March 29, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I had to return it. It has a MAJOR programming flaw. You cannot use the unit with HEADPHONES when its connected to Sirius radio via SATELLITE Radio??? Internet radio - you can use headphones, Satellite radio no headphones. When the unit is in a car attached to car docking station the headphone jack stops working. I wanted to use this radio as a SECOND radio for my son on long road trips. But I can only hear the Sat. radio through the AUX connector or Bluetooth on the cars main speakers. I'm sure Sirius did this to prevent people from listening to head phones and driving, but to COMPLETELY disable the headphone jack is way too restrictive. Just a warning should be enough. Fix this issue, and I'll buy the system again!
    Pros:
    Easy to use
    Cons:
    NO HEAD PHONE USE POSSIBLE WHEN USING WITH SATELLITE RADIO??? I had to return the system. What a hassle and a disappointment!!

    So far...so good

    I purchased this for use in my car. The optional radio that I have will not allow an AUX connection except for an iPhone. I bought this unit because it can connect through blue tooth. In this respect, it works as advertised, the set-up and connection went without a hitch. I have to manually select it as the audio player because my car radio always defaults to the cell phone. This is a radio and not a Lynx glitch. Sound quality is surprisingly good. My only reticence for not giving five stars is that I had to send back the first unit which stopped working after five days. Crutchfield immediately replaced it at no cost and the new unit has been fine. BTW, both Sirius XM and Crutchfield tech support were very knowledgeable.
    Pros:
    Good sound, blue tooth interface, easy set-up.
    Cons:
    Bad experience with the first unit which was replaced.

    Money Well Spent

    Written By Robert, Cleveland, OH on Wednesday, March 13, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I have been wanting a satellite radio for a long time. I decided on the LYNX because of the features it offers. I placed my order with Crutchfield because of the right price plus the offer of a free home or vehicle kit. Setting it up to connect to the bluetooth signal from the home dock and WiFi Internet was easy. As soon as it made it's WiFI connection it obtained all the necessary updates. The sound quality produced through headphones or the car and home system is great! Everything (and that is a lot) works. Reading the set-up instructions for the home dock it said to place the antenna where it faces the southern sky or at a south facing window. This caused me some anxiety as my stereo equipment is on a north wall. Plugging in the antenna and setting it on top of my stereo cabinet in the livingroom near the north wall I received an excellent signal - full signal bars. Whew! Check out the user guide for the LYNX from the SiriusXM websie to see what all this baby can do!
    Pros:
    Bluetooth, WiFI, ease of set-up, numerous features, remote included with the home and car kits. If you like SeriusXM, you will LOVE this radio!!!
    Cons:
    Touch screen can be a little too sensitive when scrolling. I'll have to lighten-up on my touch.

    I love it. I have used it exclusively attached to the portable speaker dock, BB2, and stream via my home wi-fi. It also has the ability to connect via Bluetooth as wellas satellite antenna. Fantastic, flexible electronic gizmo.
    Pros:
    Multiple methods of connection to stream content. Looks great. Colorful touch screen. Fits in shirt pocket for convenient portability.
    Cons:
    None thus far.

    Flexible and Easy to Use

    Written By mdan, Chicago on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I've had this device for about three weeks and like it a lot. Its great to be able to use it both at home and in the car. Setup was smooth, but I was surprised that I had to activate the phone once for internet use and again for satellite use. Installing it in the car was easy. I found that I could put the satellite antenna anywhere on my dashboard and it worked - even inside my highrise parking garage where GPS never works! Good product.
    Pros:
    compact, easy to set up, powerful satellite antenna
    Cons:
    Have to do separate product activations for internet and satellite use.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    So far I have been very happy with the radio itself being able to use it at home with wi-fi. In the vehicle is a whole other story but has nothing to do with the radio. The vehicle kit remote quit working after two days use. I bought this directly from SiriusXM because Crutchfield was out at the time so this does not reflect negatively on Crutctfield. The upsetting part is, you can't just return the remote to get it replaced. You have to send everything in the kit back. This was a pain since the dock was already mounted to the dash and the antenna installed and run through windshield and door molding and through the dash, all had to be removed and sent back as it came in the kit. SiriusXM needs to come up with a different process such as making remotes available separately. As I said earlier though, the Lynx has been awesome!!!!!!!

    SiriusXM Lynx

    Written By RC, Richmond, VA on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Easy to use and simple to set up favorites, which is a nice feature because it records several hours of each of the favorites; I installed a car dock and home dock; both work with no issues. Remote is poor, sometimes won't turn unit on, very hard to change channels with remote. Also unit sometimes will not power on after taking out of dock - but when I put it back in dock, then take it out, it will turn on/off just fine - a little quirky.
    Pros:
    size, ease of use, recording of favorite channels
    Cons:
    remote is inferior, sometimes won't turn on after taking out of dock

    neat idea but disappointed.. Turning on/off, learning how to charge, play time, etc. and was told by Sirius person it would work anyplace including outside USA that had Wi Fi. The speaker system iK100 kicker works very well but likely will send the entire purchase back because of the radio
    Pros:
    size and wi fi enabled. Crutchfield service
    Cons:
    on/off, charging, play time, needs remote since all functions are manual
