  This home kit is simple and easy to install and use! I have the antenna sitting near a window and the reception is great even though there is a patio outside the window blocking open access to the sky.
  Am very happy with it!
  
  

• Great buy for the Stiletto

  I was very pleased with this product. I just set the small antenna on my window sill and got a great satellite signal. I can listen through any speakers with a radio using the FM transmitter and connect directly to my stereo system. This product is pretty inexpensive, and is really worth it for having the convenience of listening to a great signal throughout the house. This product is a must have if you own a Stiletto.

  The home kit give you a number of different cables needed to connect to all you input and output devices. You really need this if you purchased the Stiletto. It's well worth the cost.

  awesome little dock. too bad the FCC cut the transmit distance.
  does a good job at charging the unit for home use.

• Using the Stiletto home kit
  By A1LCUICLN3EJ9H on 2007-12-30
  I thought the capability of the earphone antenna that comes with the Stiletto was really poor, so decided to try the home kit.
  
  Plugged it into the docking port and put the antenna in the window facing west. Went over to the intercom/radio some 15 feet away and turned it to the displayed frequency. My favorite Channel 128 (Nascar) came through loud and clear. That means I can pipe the audio through the whole house.
  
  During the next few days I noted the radio getting static or occasional dropouts on the signal. The static was from moving the home kit around, but rotating it or moving it a few inches worked fine to clear up the static. The dropouts seemed to be from not getting a good terrestrial or satellite signal, but the signal strength meter in the display helped reposition that for a better operation.
  
  Just using the FM transmitter part of the kit worked fine. But not all radio receivers worked as well. The radio built into the intercom (digital display) is excellent. One cassette player/radio picked up the FM signal all around the kitchen while another would pick up only when next to the Stiletto. A Walkman never picked up anything even when next to the Stiletto.
  
  If one receiver doesn't work for you try another receiver or hardwire it using a phono jack. I was using a Stiletto 10 and have a Stiletto 100 on order as a gift, so we'll see if it works as well with the home kit.
  
  
• Stiletto Home Kit works for me.
  By ABRNS9Q2LUMB4 on 2008-01-02
  The Home Kit helps me get more use out of the Stiletto and came in handy when a couple of games were not televised. I love the versatility of the Stiletto and the home kit doesn't disappoint. Well, there is one thing....it comes with a handy-dandy remote control but, unless you have eagle eyes, it won't serve you well unless you're pretty close to the unit (if you've memorized your presets and don't need to see the screen, you should be fine, but if you want to see any score highlights, etc, you'll need to scoot closer to the unit).
  
  To be honest, we're still in the honeymoon phase with the whole setup so if there are other issues, we have yet to experience them.
  
  
• Sirius deserves the "Worst Customer Service" Ever Award
  By A29KMTM59RSPDC on 2008-01-02
  I bought my husband, who is an electronics engineer, a Sirius Stiletto and home kit for Christmas. After 2.5 hours on his own and 2.5 hour on the phone with support, the items were returned. This was after paying a $15 non-refundable activiation fee to Sirius as well as $457 for a lifetime subscription which we did get refunded promptly.

• Siris is THE best sat radio and the home dock is awesome!
  By A169VE36WN4CVK on 2008-02-08
  The SLHI for the Stiletto is a great accessory. It takes the i-Pod CRUSHING Stiletto and turns it into a great, full-featured, home unit. You can't beat the convenience and the sound quality is excellent. I give my highest recommendation to Sirius. It's absolutely the best sat radio on the market. XM will be dead in less than a year, I predict.
  
  Enjoy and happy listening!
