The Delphi XM®SKYFi2™Satellite

interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Important: The FCC and FAA
have not certified the Delphi XM
SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver
for use in any aircraft (neither
portable nor permanent installation). Therefore, Delphi cannot
support this type of application
or installation.
*XM subscription required for reception of XM service.
Not available in Alaska or Hawaii.
SKYFi2 improves upon the awardwinning SKYFi Satellite Radio Receiver
by offering these new features:
• Built-in FM wireless modulator.
Listen to XM through any nearby
FM radio without using any wires.
• 30-Minute Replay. Pause and
replay up to 30 minutes of live
XM broadcast.
• TuneSelect™. Find your favorite
songs by song title or artist name
if they’re currently playing on any
XM channel.
• Personalized stock and sports
tickers. Track your favorite stocks
and sports scores on your SKYFi2’s
display while listening to your
favorite music.
• A brighter, white LED backlit display
for even better visibility.
• More versatile vehicle mounting
options than previous model.
To use the SKYFi2 Satellite Radio
Receiver, you must have a Vehicle
Adaptor Kit (SA10102), Home Adaptor
Kit (SA10103), or Marine Adaptor Kit
(SA10046), or Delphi portable audio
system (each sold separately). We do
not recommend using the old SKYFi
Vehicle Adaptor Kit (SA10002) with
the SKYFi2 Receiver since the SA10102
has been designed to maximize the
performance of SKYFi2.
Caution: Your SKYFi2 must be used with the enclosed connecting devices or other approved accessories
to ensure maximum performance. Do not modify or alter wires or connections in any way. Shortening
wires or connections may prevent proper functioning of the electrical circuit, which may damage your
receiver and will void your warranty.
