The good: XM tuner on a cartridge; allows one XM subscription to be used on multiple compatible devices; small adapter provides plug-and-play backward compatibility with older XM-ready products.
The bad: Need to purchase adapter for use with older XM-ready products; despite small size, may still be too large for compatibility with truly portable products.
The bottom line: The XM Mini-Tuner is a convenient way to carry your satellite radio subscription with you--and it will become even more useful as more compatible XM-ready devices are released.

Summary: The much vaunted XM Minituner garners its best usability in connection with a compatible radio. One simply plugs the chip into the radio, and the radio then contains the XM subscription and is ready to receive the satellite signal. The problem is that as far as I can determine, THERE ARE NO SUCH RADIOS!!. The closest thing is the Samsung Nexus which requires a home or car docking station to work with the Minituner. Audiovox's response to the question "is there a list of radios that take the chip" is "NO". Then I replied, "Will there be a list?" ...."NO". So, you get lots of portability, but not much choice in the way of actual compatable radios.
