Tune your favorite station anywhere!

If you’ve been having issues just like I have when trying to get a radio station in my area without clutter up your car’s dashboard, then you will love the XM SkyDock. It does not only charge iPod as any other car charger but it also has satellite tuner built in, which will make your radio experience much easier anywhere you go.
The XM SkyDock is suitable for both iPhone and iPod Touch and it also brings a pretty good free application that will allow you to transform the Apple handheld into a touch-screen control for satellite radio service when running. The application automatically adjusts to either landscape or portrait mode. You will also be able to transmit the audio to most of the standard car radios through the car electrical system, sent via line-out. And since the SkyDock works connected into the car’s 12-volt power adapter it will charge the iPod Touch/iPhone while in use.
You might also want to have in consideration that even tho
ugh the application is available on its own, it’s well known that it leaves much of best of it out. Due to right issues many of the service’s channels, such as MLB Play-by-Play, NFL Play-by-Play, Nascar Radio and Howard Stern. On the other hand since the SkyDock provides over-the-air satellite radio, it offers all of the Sirius XM catalog, including the previous mentioned stations.
Another very useful feature of the SkyDock application is the iTunes tagging, which allows the user to tag the desired song that has been played on any radio station to later be download on iTunes by only a touch of the screen. And of course you will as well be able to playback the music stored on you iPhone/iPod Touch.
