delphi sky fi
I recently had the delphi sky fi xm module installed in my car. Now, every time I crank my car I have to listen to static because it does not power on when my car does.
My previous xm controller (the original pioneer) would power up when i cranked my car. Any body familiar with this?

Yea, one of the major drawbacks of the Skyfi unit is it does not power on when you turn on the car. But don't worry, there is a solution! There are two options. Your tear open you skyfi and ghetto rig it so it's power is always on when there is a 12v power source. I personally wouldn't recommend this. If you plan on taking it into the house, the only way you could power down the unit is to unplug it. The second option is to buy this accessory.

I don't have one, but as i understand when you turn on your car, the unit sends a IR signal to your skyfi and powers it up for you. For me, i'd rather just hit power and save $32+ s/h. One of the best things about the skyfi is it's portability. That's pretty much the only reason why i did not get the terk unit. Hope i helped!

no prob man that's what this forum is all about. I think SnyperP's solution is better with the IR if you really want the unit to turn on with Ign and still have the option of portability.
