Your INNO-Any complaints/criticism at all?

[Shane1V]

I've heard all good things, and thats great cuz i'm getting one asap

Anything you don't like about it, or feel it lacks?

[FCCSucks]

I don't like the way it scrolls through the channels. My roady showed the Artist and song title at the same time. The inno makes you press the disp button to cycle through the channel name, artist, and song title. It will only show one at a time. Other than that it's great.

[fetusFARMER]

im lacking one...

[delt75]

The only complaint I have is when I go through deleting the commercials. I wish I could select a group of segments to delete all at once. Rather than going through and deleting each break one by one. Other than that it's great! Best XM unit yet.

How does that work, deleting the ads? How are they differentiated from the show segments on the screen?

Can you upload stuff you put on the unit to your PC?(The show, XM songs, or MP3's)

the myfi/tao/airware are the same way.

[doomwarfare]

It has been great for the most part, though at times it will stop recording for no reason. Not for scheduled recordings, but when I am recording on the fly [by holding down the XM button during live XM or using the remote and selecting record channel]

Delt75: If you are looking at the segments after selecting ORGANIZE where it lists them all [1/75 etc.], you can select as many as you like by using the RIGHT ARROW. The highlighted segments will turn blue and then when you hit XM --> DELETE, they will all be removed after you confirm. Hope that was clear enough. It is not in front of me at the moment.

If you installed the Napster software, you can also perform mass deletions thru your pc.

Hook it up to your pc and install napster... you can highlight everything you want to delete

[mascan42]

The only real problem that has been reported is that whenever you use the XM + Napster feature it tries to upgrade the firmware, even if there isn't a newer version available. But that's an easily fixable bug. Ironically, it'll probably be fixed in the next firmware upgrade.

[Kurto2021]

I saw the nexxus at Best Buy and it is tiny. I think they gutted the sales of the Nexxus by not having a color screen. I would like the Inno but living in Wichita, KS I worry about getting good signal from the sats. That being said....the Nexxus is very small and perfect for taking to the gym.

[chadds]

I've had mine for going on 2 weeks now, and have no complaints at all. I haven't hooked it up to the PC yet, but for reception, and recording it works great!

[Bill]

I don't have one, but I do have a complaint. Given XM's relationship with Audible Audio (specifically copies of O&A shows), I think that it's really stupid that they didn't make the second generation of XM2go receivers compatible with Audible Audio.

[Chlorofirm]

That is pretty stupid. I bought a Zen, downloaded a show I missed off audible and found out it wasn't compatible. So I then I found a way to get around it. It ultimately lead to me finding a free alternative thats works great. Way to go, Audible.

[Starman]

So Far so Good

I keep a signal better (even on the train) then I did with My MyFI.

I had a problem with connecting to my PC at first but I figgured out it was a hardware issue with my PC not the Inno.

[jeffelms]

You can select multiple tracks. Go to Organize>All Songs. Move over a track you want to delete. Press the right arrow. Move over the the next track you want to delete, press the right arrow again. Keep doing this for all tracks you want to delete. When you are done selecting, press the ((XM)) button then select Delete. Select Yes. Then you are done.

[fear]

How long does the battery last before needing to be recharged when being used on its own?

[Chlorofirm]

Two questions:

1 - Someone said the way they're doing the pad data results in 40minute blocks. Is this true? So when they from back from commercial to when they break again, thats just a big single chunk?

2 - Is the FF/REW slow? I remember someone saying it took 5-6 minutes to FF through a 50 minute chunk of show. That blows. My creative ZEN goes faster the longer you hold the button down. I can skip through about 3 hours of show in 15-20 seconds.

If neither of those were true I'd buy one once the price comes down. The myfi is doing a fine job for me until I can get an inno/car kit for under $300.

[Amazingkaddycap]

The Inno is awesome. Great reception Outdoors. Indoor can be spotty depending on where your at. But The Antenna headphones will take care of that problem. My only real complaint is, When scheduling a recording , you must cycle your inno on and off in the Home dock or else it will not record. Not a big deal but I should just be able to set it and leave it.

[hillarythegreat]

How easy is it to tune to differant channels? I know there are no presets on the Inno and you have to set them up as favorites. How easy are these to get to? I'm gonna go down to CC later today and buy one, that is if I don't need to rent a boat to get down there.

[Spookymonster]

To get to a channel:
- left button to bring up keypad; enter channel # to go to channel (or scroll thru genres - see below)

To add the channel as a favorite:
- XM->Favorites->Add Channel

To view and select a favorite:
- right button to bring up favorites; left and right buttons to change genre; up and down to scroll thru channels; XM button to select

[Spookymonster]

How long does the battery last before needing to be recharged when being used on its own?

About 5+ hours on live, supposedly 10+ on mp3 playback only. Personally, I was down to 1/4 left after 2 hours using headphones (passenger going to the shore) and another 2 hours using the FM modulator to broadcast (driver coming back home).

To stretch the battery life out, I'd recommend the following when operating without a docking station:
- backlight set all the way to the left
- backlight timer to 15 seconds
- FM modulator OFF (instead of AUTO)

The battery bar updates in 1/4 increments, so don't be surprised if it drops to 3/4 full after only a few minutes use walking around.

[hillarythegreat]

Alright, I'm off to get a Inno! By the way, I'm gonna keep my two MyFis activated and still use them too!

[nemohgod]

I have mine setup as 50 % XM and 50 % MP3. The problem I have is that the gauge at the top of the screen telling me how much space I used. I recorded about 500 tracks and it still says 35 percent. it was 35% when I had 220 songs. Other than that it really kicks ass, so many songs so little time.

Thanks Spookymonster. Very Helpfull!!!!!!!!

[jodea23]

about how many mp3's can it hold when you're splitting the content 50/50?

[JSHAW]

Once you split content to 50/50, and then later on down the road you
decide you want to change it to 100% XM do you just dump/erase all stored content, and repartition the drive?

[Death Metal Moe]

I'll never even think of buying one for more than $200, period.

Get your prices down or don't expect to sell a boat load of these things.

That meter only measures how much space is being used by LOCKED songs. Not total space used.

[hillarythegreat]

I hate CC. They have XM radios in differant places, some radios are in one display and the Innos are in another display. The car kits are in another place.

Anyways, just waiting for it to activate. So far this looks cool! I can use the same antenna and power cord as the MyFi and so far it looks great!

I paid $420 for the Inno and the car kits using my CC Rewards. I wouldn't have paid the full price for this if I didn't have the rewards. As for using it for MP3s, well I doubt if I will use it for that, I have an Ipod sitting here that I have probably used 30 times in the year that I have had it.

I think I'll try it out by recording Phil Hendrie later. I like new toys!! :)

[Minister Moron]

I just got mine Saturday and read the whole book and tried all of the features. The only problem I found was that the book says you can be up to 10 minutes into a song and hit record and it will record it from the beginning... BULLSHIT! I tried it with like 10 different songs and it only recorded from the spot where I actually hit record. I called XM and after going through 3 or 4 tech support people they actually put me on the phone with some guy who "works behing the scenes" with all of the serious technical stuff at XM and he couldnt even help me. He said they don't have training on these units until this week sometime and that I should contact Pioneer. You would think these douches at XM would have been trained for the new products BEFORE they hit the market. Anyway, besides that its un-fucking-real how amazing it is. Anyone else have this problem? Also for how much they cost they dont even have the decency to sell the car kit with it?!?! Money hungry cocks.

P.S. Anyone intersted in buying one should really look at EBAY. I got mine for $350 and free shipping. I've seen some listed even cheaper than that now but check the sellers feedback score and buyer/seller history to make sure its legit. If they're posted for a $1 starting bid on a 24 hour auction dont even bother looking at it, but Id say well over 95% of them are legit.

[da_red1]

Works fine for me. I can hit record near the end of a song and I get the whole thing as long as I was listening to the song when it started. It won't get the whole song if you just tuned to a channel and start recording from there. That's how the buffer works. Same as for Tivo's and DVR's.

[Shane1V]

about how many mp3's can it hold when you're splitting the content 50/50?

i was gonna ask this as well, and add that you'll get more if you use WMA files instaead of MP3.
So, how many? :icon_mrgr

[jeffelms]

i was gonna ask this as well, and add that you'll get more if you use WMA files instaead of MP3.
So, how many? :icon_mrgr
With content set 50/50 you get 512MB for MP3's
So how many MP3's you get depends on the size of your MP3's

[GuyD770]

I have had mine for 2 weeks and I officially have no life. All I do is F--- with my Inno. No Paltalk, Wackbag, FBA, Nuthin...

I paid full damn price and it is worth every damn penny!! I have it set to record every (live) O&A and R&F show, then I delete the commercials with my PC in about 2 minutes. I let it play all afternoon/night long for AFRO 24/7 (how gay).

[Minister Moron]

Jeffelms,

Yea I spoke to some tech guys at pioneer earlier and they explained to me that you have to be on the channel for at least one full song to record whatever it is you wanna hear. So if it beeps to let you know that an artist or song is on that you have programmed in your inno you cant switch to that channel and try recording the song because it will only record from the time you hit record. Apparently thats the biggest complaint/confusion theyre having with customers right now.

[valley_stream]

the pad data on my Inno during o and a and ron and fez does not always update when they return from spots-I understand this is a problem coming from D.C. and I hope it can be fixed soon.

[lawdawg0417]

[nemohgod]

That's not correct, I don't have any locked songs. But I do have only a few on several playlists.
[EDIT] I stand corrected, when you make a play list they automatically get locked.

So you were listening to the song from the begining and decided to hit the record button? It works for me all the time as long as I am on that channel for awhile.

[nemohgod]

That's always a problem, this is not a Inno problem. I have this issue with my myfi (recorded and live) and my roady when I am listening to it live.

[Minister Moron]

Nemohgod,

Read my post I made after the one you referred/responded to. I was confused because I was under the impression that if you were scrolling through the channels and you came upon a song you liked, you cant just stop on that channel in the middle or end of the song and hit record and have it actually record the song from the beginning. Like you said you have to be on that station BEFORE the song starts, then you can record it, which is retarded because who sits there and scratches their head for up to 10 minutes THEN decides hey I wanna record this. If your inno beeps to let you know that one of your programmed songs or artists is on another channel you cant turn to that channel and hit record and have it record from the beginning. You have to be on that channel for at least one full song in order for the 10 minute buffer to work.

Also, anyone know of any good car mounting kits for the inno. I cant seem to find any and I looked at all of the major XM supplier sites.

[Shane1V]

Queery:

Can you Tune Select the show so it alerts you when it comes out of commercials??
I dont think any units do, but that would be a GREAT feature to add. XM... are ya listening??

[Beeman99]

let me get this right, you have to turn the inno off and then back on again for the scheduled recording to start? Or is it just like the myfi where you set it and shut it off(which I hate)???

[Shaggz]

I wish I had at least a Myfi...:icon_cry:
Anyone willing to donate their old one to a broke pest who is still in the stone age with a Roady?

[jeffelms]

Like you said you have to be on that station BEFORE the song starts, then you can record it, which is retarded because who sits there and scratches their head for up to 10 minutes THEN decides hey I wanna record this. If your inno beeps to let you know that one of your programmed songs or artists is on another channel you cant turn to that channel and hit record and have it record from the beginning. You have to be on that channel for at least one full song in order for the 10 minute buffer to work.Why is that retarded? This is the same way TIVO and DVR's work on TV. If you are watching something and decide to record it, it will only start recording where you started watching. Not from the begining of the show. How do you expect it to be able to record something you haven't even heard? Could you record a whole song back in the days of cassette tape, when you changed to a station in the middle of a song? Same concept here. Except you get that 10 minute buffer if you decide later to start recording.
You could turn to the channel and start recording before the song started with tune select if it worked as good as Sirius did. I had a Sportster for a year and it would ALWAYS beep 5 seconds BEFORE the song even started. I've never understood why XM can't do the same. When I first switched to XM, I thought it was my radio. Then I got a second XM and it did the same thing.

[hillarythegreat]

I love the way that I can delete all the commercials in Napster! I tested recording R&F and all had to do was click on all the commercials and then click delete! I could care less if the pad data doesn't change every 5 minutes as long as I can get rid of the commercials! Everyone needs to get one of these!

[travler1]

Like you said you have to be on that station BEFORE the song starts, then you can record it, which is retarded because who sits there and scratches their head for up to 10 minutes THEN decides hey I wanna record this.


uhhh, I do. Because you know, you hear a song and you don't know if you like it until you've heard a few minutes of it. The record button and buffer works perfectly for me. Inno rocks...

[JPetrucci23]

my inno was finally shipped, i should be getting it on wednesday!

[krunk]

I don't like the way it scrolls through the channels. My roady showed the Artist and song title at the same time. The inno makes you press the disp button to cycle through the channel name, artist, and song title. It will only show one at a time. Other than that it's great.

you can set it so it shows artist and title at the same time on the display

[Shane1V]

Can you just leave the Inno sitting in the car using the FM modulator and get good reception? or does it have an extra antennae you have to leave out a window or on the dash?

I have a Skyfi2 set up in my car and house. Does the car cradle antennae fit the Inno?? Can that be used?? That would be killer(yuck)

or can the power from the skifi cradle be used in the Inno? I'm dreaming, aren't I...

[usadingo]

I saw the nexxus at Best Buy and it is tiny. I think they gutted the sales of the Nexxus by not having a color screen. I would like the Inno but living in Wichita, KS I worry about getting good signal from the sats. That being said....the Nexxus is very small and perfect for taking to the gym.
I used to live down in Winfield, and I'll be back there in a few weeks for a wedding. If I remember, I'll write and let you know how my Inno works down there. I'm in rural Minnesota now, and it works just fine, so I'm expecting it will do fine down there also.

And for those who are wanting an Inno and don't trust Ebay, I'll be ordering some in where I work if enough interest is expressed, and I'll sell them for $350 with free shipping. Also, I can order in car chargers for $24.99 for those who don't need the whole car kit. And the antenna headphones can be purchased for $59.99.

[robinquivers]

Great to hear the positive reviews, mine shipped today.

[hillarythegreat]

The display is practically impossible to read without the backlight on.

Also, the Inno comes with a remote.....and so does the carkit. I think it's just so they can charge more money for the carkit. I don't like the headphones either. I'm just using the ones that came with my Ipod.

that was the same as the headphones that came with the MyFi, they hurt my ears after a little bit. I do the same and use my Ipod ones.

Got mine today. Got it all activated and stuff fine. Still trying to figure out the put your own music thing in. Pretty cool so far though!

[hillarythegreat]

It's pretty easy to add your own songs to it. Just use the Napster lite version of the software and you can add whatever you want. You can even use the software to delete commercials from the O&A show. That's one of the best things!

[jeffelms]

Got mine today. Got it all activated and stuff fine. Still trying to figure out the put your own music thing in. Pretty cool so far though!
It shows up on your computer as a removable drive. You can just drag and drop songs to it. You don't have to use the Napster software.

[Shane1V]

I ordered mine last night... I'm all excited! Like a pedo at the preschool play! :action-sm


I WANTED to order from MyRadioStore!! But I hadda go with Ebay(100% positive response Power Seller) and saved $46.(no tax, and got insurance) I may get the Inno car power adapter from Ziggy, as he has it for $10, best around

Can't wait to get my INNO!!

I saw those on ebay, but the ones listed don't come with a car or home kit do they? I would really love to pick one up, but my main usage is car and it would be a pain in the ass to buy it seperately

[Jerry1]

Thanks for the advice guys. Figured it out pretty quickly. Found out I can use my MusicMatch program to put the songs on it. MusicMatch actually recognized the Inno right away too. Amazing!!
So luvin this little thing!!

[2ptconversion]

Does the Inno home kit have the same antenna jack that the MyFi home kit has? I have a signal repeater that allows me to put the home antenna in a window and listen to my MyFi in an interior room. The only problem is that you have to be able to plug the receiving antenna into the MyFi. If the jack is different, I won't be able to use it with the Inno.

[likwidkool]

Man I really want one of these. Just to rich for my blood. Plus I just spent too much on upgrades to my computer. 2x7800gt's, a 4200+ X2, new motherboard, and a new Dell 1907fp LCD costs's a pretty penny. Maybe I'll get a bonus later this year, and will afford one.

[Chester'sLiver]

The only complaint I have is when I go through deleting the commercials. I wish I could select a group of segments to delete all at once. Rather than going through and deleting each break one by one. Other than that it's great! Best XM unit yet.
you can select more then one thing at a time to delete. Go to organize all songs then you can select each one by one and then delete selected.

You can plug an antenna right into the INNO. You have to have the car cradle, but you can use the same antenna. It will work in the car with out but it will go out if you pass under a bridge or something and slide all over the place. The car power can not be used either ( this is how they get you to buy a new car kit. I know the mount for the Roady 2 fit the cradle for the INNO, that was cool so I didn't have to rip it off and replace it. I really have no problems with the INNO, it is fantastic.

****oh what I did for awhile until I got my car kit was take the cradle for the home kit that came with it and used that in my car without a power jack. It stayed in place and was fine for the week I didn't have a car kit. I hope this helps.

[schoolcraft13]

my power button sticks VERY badly.
you have to push in rather hard and then down to make the unit poweron and power off
any suggestions?

[Jerry1]

Last night I scheduled my Inno to record the O&A show so I'll have for the ride into work(I work nights and sleep late!). But I seem to can't find the session. Dammit!!!!:cussing :arrrh: :hamm:

I cant get mine to link up with my comp. Every time i do the firmware update, it tells me to put it in the cradle and then try it. I take it out, put it back in and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Oh and I dont like how you need the cradle to charge it. You cant just bring the cig ligher along and plug it into it. Pain in the ass.

[Chester'sLiver]

Oh and I dont like how you need the cradle to charge it. You cant just bring the cig ligher along and plug it into it. Pain in the ass.
you should be able to actually. You use that little attachment they give to charge it at home and put the cig lighter.

This might be a stupid question but did you have it on and somehwere it could get reception. It won't record if its off or if it can't get a signal.

I am not totally understanding the problem since its a switch and not a button that could sitck down. You have to put the switch down to turn it on, turning it up puts it in "HOLD" mode. If the switch is stuck down and you are having trouble turning it off and on then I would try to return it and get a new one. The posts sounds as if you are turning it on the wrong way.

Wait a second....The stupid guide said that the Inno can be powered on or off to have it record a schedule(Page 36 on the bottom). I keep the Inno by the window in my bedroom so its a good signal, which it does.
So I gotta have this thing on all night ????

oh, I didn't read the book I just know I have a session set up to, but it doesn't record. I will try having it off and next to my window and see if it records. :action-sm

I never said I was an expert. :icon_bigg

[Napoleon12]

the napster lite software is ok. i just use it to delete the commercials inbetween o and a. u can't export any xm programming that is recorded.

i have my session set up for o and a to record from 6am to 12pm. u can leave the unit on or off. if u are listening to another channel and the session starts the inno will switch to that channel. u can manage the sessions thru napster or in the inno. the recording go to my music. so just go to that menu and u can pull up what u have recorded.

You are probably right. They may have screwed up in the guide. Which is so stupid cause I can record a session with the MyFi off, no problem.

I think tomorrow I'll record the show on my Myfi then if I can't figure it out.....

THis stinks!

the napster lite software is ok. i just use it to delete the commercials inbetween o and a. u can't export any xm programming that is recorded.

i have my session set up for o and a to record from 6am to 12pm. u can leave the unit on or off. if u are listening to another channel and the session starts the inno will switch to that channel. u can manage the sessions thru napster or in the inno. the recording go to my music. so just go to that menu and u can pull up what u have recorded.

That is exactly what I did. I set the session at that last night and shut it off and put it in the dock. The schedule is still in it but I can't find the session if it even recorded it!

So sucks!!

[dodisman]

I posted some stuff on the INNO a few weeks ago on how i was disappointed with the reception...I thought the reception was going to be much better...and for mine even when i am getting solid reception, when the INNO is in the home cradle it always says "CHECK ANTENNA"...but if i press the DISPLAY button then it will correctly show the display of the channel i'm on for a few seconds only to return to "CHECK ANTENNA"...fucking annoying that is...all in all i am mediocre on the thing...i expected more

[watsonnostaw]

this is why I always wait til the bugs get worked out, never buy a brand new concept item with no track record

[dodisman]

I think the reviews are more favorable then not but the thing is not a killer i don't think...Napster stinks...Even though my firmware if fully up to date everytime i connect the inno to Napster it tells me i need a firmware upgrade but when i click to upgrade the app does nothing...shit like that pisses me off...It's probably come bug in the app

[jeffelms]

The way I fixed that was to download the stand alone firmware update client from XM. It may be on the CD that came with it too. But you can get it here.
http://www.xmradio.com/dmp/index.jsp
Run that with your Inno pluged in, then after it is done start Napster. It should not tell you about an update after that.

[Shane1V]

I saw those on ebay, but the ones listed don't come with a car or home kit do they? I would really love to pick one up, but my main usage is car and it would be a pain in the ass to buy it seperately

I paid $350 for the full Inno package, factory sealed,etc. Same as if you bought it at Best Buy.
There are plenty of INNO's on Ebay that are the FULL package you will get anywhere they are available-Earbuds, Home kits, everything. Just read the ads carefully

Jerry1,
A glitch many have with thier inno's. When you put the inno in the home dock, power it on for a minute or two, then power it off. It seems the inno needs to recognize it's in the dock and powered to do scheduled recording. My first try at recording also failed so I checked XM411.com and found this solution. Hope this helps.

[Tony_Bagel]

I will get one when the price comes down,but for now my Tao is doing fine.

[BeezerBlanks]

UGH, RIAA suing XM over the Inno's ability to record songs blah blah blah... stupid music industry trying to get more cash from everyone....

Stupid RIAA (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060517-6851.html)

thank you sir. this answers the question i was about to post. :clap:

[PhilGoodbody]

I saw the nexxus at Best Buy and it is tiny. I think they gutted the sales of the Nexxus by not having a color screen. I would like the Inno but living in Wichita, KS I worry about getting good signal from the sats. That being said....the Nexxus is very small and perfect for taking to the gym.

I'm not a genius by any means, but KS is very flat, and the signal is coming from space, not a radio tower with a limited range.You should get great signal.I live in eastern KY and my XM works great except when i drive through a cut through in the mountains it will cut out a little, but just for a few seconds.

Many thanks sir! That seems to have done the trick. I just did a test run of a scheduled recording to see if that did the trick. And Boom! It's recording!

Thanks so much! Here's to you!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[delt75]

How does that work, deleting the ads? How are they differentiated from the show segments on the screen?

Can you upload stuff you put on the unit to your PC?(The show, XM songs, or MP3's)



Sorry if someone already answered this.
It reads the pad data and you can see the length of each spot. So any spot that is long in length is the show. The nice thing is it knows somehow when it's in the show so when they change the pad data the recording doesn't get chopped up. Only the commericals get chopped up. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this clearly, but it's a great feature!

[Fit_Finlay]

I have it set to record the show every morning. But sometimes I wake up before the show is over, and I want to turn it on and listen. but on the Inno it says that if I power it on that it will cancel the recording. Now does it cancel everything that it already has recorded, or just from that point on?

Just from the point when you turned it on.

[diamonddave]

With the antenna headphones, can you actually get reception indoors? I bought one for work and can't get reception once i get inside, or at home for that matter. I'll probably end up returning it.

[Shane1V]

You could use the home kit @ work and position the antennae, no?

[diamonddave]

I could, but I move around at work, different rooms, up/down stairs.

[usadingo]

I've started to get commands from the remote stuck. For example, if I use the remote and press the button to the right, my Inno thinks I'm constantly pressing the right button. Not sure what's going on there. But, I just use it without the remote all the time anyway, so no big deal.
I've also had a few scheduled recordings that cut off after about an hour. Like today. I woke up, and only the first hour and a half or so was recorded. It just stopped after that.

Did you run out of space?
have you checked XM411.com about this?

[usadingo]

I have plenty of space. That's why it's odd. I had to walk over and start recording the channel today.

[robinquivers]

I got mine today, activated it and am going to try it out tonite at work.

[JPetrucci23]

got my inno today. already set up a few tuneselects and popped a couple of MP3s to test it out on my commute tomorrow.

[krux]

My two complaints:

It doesn't have the ability to pause live XM. Hit the pause button and it just mutes it. Since I use the crap out of this feature on the SkyFi2, I end up using both radios to do what I want. Like to listen live and then be able to pause, go get a drink, and then come back and continue to listen where I left off. Sure if you record it before hand you're fine.. but I listen at work, when the shows are live.

Doesn't record the PAD data correctly. Pretty much end up with it displaying the commercial name of whatever was at the end of the last break for the O&A segments.

[hillarythegreat]

The pad data isn't a Inno problem or bug, it's the way the data is being sent. They need to figure out how to send it properly just like they had to do with the MyFi.

[krux]

It's pretty easy to add your own songs to it. Just use the Napster lite version of the software and you can add whatever you want. You can even use the software to delete commercials from the O&A show. That's one of the best things!

Or just plug it in and drag the files into the MyMusic folder. you don't HAVE to use the napster software if you're just dealing with mp3s.

[diamonddave]

Didn't do my research. I find out now the Inno is not compatible with Napster to Go, which I was hoping, so along with not getting great reception, it's useless to me basically. Oh well, returning it tonight, more money for hookers and blow.

I've heard that a future firmware update will allow it to work with Napster to Go. Don't know if that is true or not though. Just something to keep in mind.

Can't wait to shove it in my ass!!!

[HUMMERJON]

I dont know if i posetd this before but too bad if i did

My mifi always gave a strong FM mod signal to any radio docked or not docked..

When my Inno is out of the home dock and right up against any radio it has a very very weak wireless FM mod signal, aka barley works.

Weird thing is when i have my INNO in the home dock the FM mod signal is super strong and works thruout my home.

only way i fiqured this out was i turned on the radio while recoding the show with my INNO in its home dock and the signal was super strong .

Wonder if it needs a stronger power sourse ; home dock vs battary power to work.

My Inno is currently being installed in my Infiniti M 35x, even though i have pre wired XM- i want to be able to listen to recorded shows and also mp3s- woohoo this rocks

[girthymac]

So far I have had my Inno for 5 days and the only beef I have with it is the fact it has to be Docked for the FM Mod. to work......so I just take my home dock with me, and use my old myfi antennae in my car. But so far that's my only bitch. It's a wonderful product, Sirrius can't touch it!

[Hudaphuc Arya]

I don't get it. I've had one (actually two, since I did an exchange after a week) since the 9th of May and my reception is horrible. Inside, I get nothing. Outside I literally have to face SW and have the damn thing in my shirt pocket. Forget the belt clip. I live in the NW Detroit suburbs and have tried it in a couple of different areas, same result.

Tried it in the MI thumb area in the dock w/ ext. antenna and could barely get a signal. XM tech support blows. Never returns calls and when they finally answered an email told me to retrun it to the dealer I bought it from.

Plan on doing that today.

[richedward]

I have a 2 part question that I would appreciate any feedback on.

A) I can afford to get an INNO. I DON’T have an IPOD and I need a portable XM, as I run/ bike etc. I do a part-time show on XM 80 on Sundays (the launch pad 5-7) and @ XM the whole building is buzzing about the INNO. However, I have YET to see one in action. I went to BestBuy today and I was told that each BB in the area only has 2-4 units and since there are so few released in the country, Pioneer has not yet produced units for display ie – I cant fucking try out the reception. I live in DC, hence a lot of buildings, possibility of static, so I want to make sure this unit is the worth the bucks. But until I hear it outright, I just cant make that decision. What do you guys think? I mean, truly, how is the reception, and do I have to hear one up close to be convinced either way of whether or not to buy.
B) Is it smarter to buy a less expensive unit using the http://xmradio.partners.com and take the risk of having it break? Are there any warranties? @ BB and CC, I can get a service plan for $49.95 for 4 yrs at bestbuy. Do I have any protection when I use the Promo codes, or is it just a crap shoot.


Please any feedback you guys have would help. I just got a huge raise and want to treat myself to the most thriving radio ever. Thanks and good day sir.

[Hudaphuc Arya]

That's kinda what I was thinking, too. Bring back my Inno and get a MyFi and decent MP3 player and save money to boot.

...you don't need the dock fo the fm mod to work...you can use the extra plug in wire without having to change anything in the inno...

[prozac]

I got this from a mod at XM411-
"You can use the FM Modulator on ANY FM radio. With the Inno, you have to have the earphones plugged in or the "Dongle" cable (comes with the Inno)plugged in the side. These act as the antenna for the FM modulator."

What the hell is a Dongle cable?

I will be trying it my car today!

[girthymac]

ScottyG and Shane, Thanks.....the dongle ok....I know what that is......that makes sense.......

[Shane1V]

ScottyG and Shane, Thanks.....the dongle ok....I know what that is......that makes sense.......

ok...Whats the Dongle? Help me out!

[ROONT]

...the dongle is the extra cable you have to recharge the battery without the dock...it connects to a car adapter or the plug adapter...i had no idea it was called the dongle...sounds kinda sexy, in a jimmy sorta way...

[Shane1V]

You can select multiple tracks. Go to Organize>All Songs. Move over a track you want to delete. Press the right arrow. Move over the the next track you want to delete, press the right arrow again. Keep doing this for all tracks you want to delete. When you are done selecting, press the ((XM)) button then select Delete. Select Yes. Then you are done.

This is helpful!
But, it would be nice if you could see how long each segment is while in that Organize menu. Some actual show segments have a commercial heading, and you can accidentally delete the show.
Looking at it now, when you're in "All Songs", it should have the length of the segment/song, so we can delete from there with confidence.

Any way around this, short of going back and forth in the menu to see how long each one is? thats a pain.

[ROONT]

...shane, just listen to the whole show skipping over the commercials and then erase the whole thing at the end...

[Shane1V]

Thank u sir

[hillarythegreat]

I connect mine to Napster every day and just delete the commercials first. Only takes about 2 minutes and then I can just listen to the show when I go to work tonight. It beats having to skip past commercials. It's really easy if you just try it.

They should allow you to highlight numerous segments at once to delete instead of 1 at a time. Maybe a lil modification they can add next firmware update.

Wierd, seems my recording session did not record for the time I had entered...hmmm

Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard as you click on each commercial. Then right click and hit delete. Mass delete works.

You can also lock and unlock any of the songs or anything that you have recorded using Napster. It's alot qucker than finding them on the Inno.

[hillarythegreat]

Something weird happened on the Inno today. I am missing todays O&A, BUT I have two copies of yesterdays R&F on my Inno. I only have todays R&F, no O&A.

I'll be damned if I can explain this one.

[Shane1V]

no, you can do it from the unit, just a little easier thru the PC.

[Jerry1]

I just delete the commercails as they come as I listen. If i see a Bodog or XM commercial that's 25 to 30 minutes long, I know that it contains the show. Then I just fast forward through the commercial part.
Luvin the Inno!!!!

[Shane1V]

The power/hold switch on my Inno seems a little unstable, loose, whatever... It doesn't work reliably to turn the unit on and off. It sometimes takes a few tries to work. The "Hold" function seems fine...
Anyone else notice the same, or is the switch just like this?(Crap)




WOOOOOO!!!! METS just won in 16th inning!!

[Badgun]

no, you can do it from the unit, just a little easier thru the PC.

ok, thanks I have another question. If you don't buy the $39 Antenna/Headphones, do you get any kind of antenna with it? Will a regular XM antenna hook up to it? Will the clip on antennas for the MyFi work with it?

As someone who rarely listens to live radio on my MyFi, I'm wondering if the $39 Antenna/Headphones is even necessary.

[usadingo]

First, I solved one of my problems. I was having recording problems where it wouldn't always record times I scheduled. The problem was that the Inno doesn't always recognize when it's docked. You have to turn it off, dock it, and turn it on again for it to properly recognize. No problems since then.

With that said, to those thinking of buying- do it. This thing is awesome. But consider the following first. This isn't a miracle unit. Don't buy it if you're lacking common sense. This won't work well indoors without some form of indoor antenna. Even outside, the antenna needs to have a clear shot of the south. Basically, just think first before buying.

It has a built in antenna. But if you want to use it as a portable unit I would highly recomend the Antenna Headphones. The one that is built in is OK but not great unless you live in an area with ground repeaters.
No no other XM antenna will work. It doesn't have an antenna port like the MyFi does.

[WOWmagnet]

I use the 15 second-backlight-off feature while on battery. Probably get me a few extra minutes.

[WOWmagnet]

I must say this is simply one of the best pieces of technology I've seen. I LOVE this thing.
Now when will they make one with a phone? It really all comes down to battery capacity, I guess.

I noticed this too. I found if I pull slightly foreward instead of just down, it works better.
I was ready to return it at first.

[Nawlinzboy]

Ordered mine on Monday. Should have it by tomorrow. Waiting is a bitch.

[RaullyRal]

I got mine yesterday at J&R. They actually did a price match to a legit internet store and I picked it up at the store. Unfortunately too risky to get packages sent to me...who knows where they go which is why I bought it in a store. Anyways I like the unit so far, looks great and I can use the charger and antennae from my myfi. Remote has good response better then my myfi, except my fat fingers are a bit big for the remote buttons...but I manage.

My only peeve right now is I wish if you scroll over recorded content you see the timestamp of the recording somehow. Is this possible, I may have missed something. On the myfi you can see the timestamp of the recorded chunk when you scroll over the myxm recorded content. I guess right now I'm docking to my laptop and arranging and deleting commercials through the napster+xm software which is okay just it would be nice if you can see a timestamp on a recording if you have lots of O&A shows built up/recorded.

The timestamp is there, it's just you can't see it because it lists the channel name which takes up the screen.

[Fruit Monkey]

ok i tried to read the reviews .

I have one question

like the myfi u need the car kit to keep a signal.

DO YOU NEED THE CAR KIT WITH THE INNO ALSO ? ANY ONE HAVE IT AND TRY THIS YET? DRIVE WITH OUT THE ANTENNA HOOKED UP AND SEE IF IT WORKS BY JUST LAYING IT ON YOUR DASH?

MY MYFI WORKS LIKE THIS SOME DAYS NOT ALL!

i have to carry it from my car to my work truck etc and on some of the trucks i use they are not made of steel. so no place for the ole mag to stick too.

reason i ask is i have gone thru about 7 antennas and it sucks to keep buying them.

[iNFaMousToM]

Works.

[patbattlefield]

i saw my wife buying me one for father's day...she's such a good egg, but now i have to pretend i didn't see her buy it.

[martianvirus]

I got one now and I'm loving it.

I like being able to delete all the comercials before I listen to the show.

[Tell 'em Fred]

deleting the commercials is great, but you still get a few 30 some minute segments with a commercial stuck on the front which fucks up the segment name. What the fuck? a 74:47 segment called Keg' Mo' Series? oh, wait, that's a commercial that i have to FF thru. Would be nice if the Inno could recognize pad data change and segment breaks, i didn't see the EROCK misspellings.

[generoso]

Had mine for a few days now..Loving it...I do miss the Alarm portion the myfi though....have not updated the firmware yet...

I've had my Inno for a few weeks now and it's ... just OK. I'm disappointed that you can't just rewind when listening to live XM. Maybe that's something that has never been, but it sucks.

If you're recording O&A for the full show or whatever.. the track listings are bogus. It'd be nice if each O&A section were labeled as such, but it (inno) takes the first data it sees for a track label.. so a whole break may be labeled "What's on XM" instead of Opie&Anthony or something. Fucking sucks.

Battery life? Pioneer C.S. told me 3 hours of batt. life. (using Live XM I assume.. cause that's what I'm getting.)

The Inno is like a square hula hoop.. you know it's supposed to rotate around you but damn if you can't make that happen.

I like my Inno but it's 50% from where it needs to be.

[krux]

one thing I noticed is that if you let the battery go dead, it resets the time zone.. of course if you are an east coast faggot, this is a non-issue, since it defaults to eastern. But I was wondering why it started recording the previous days O&A and figured out it was the time zone was back to eastern

[jeffelms]

I was under the impression you could not use your MyFi antenna. Read the quote below.You can use the home or car antenna from the MyFi while it's in the home or car dock. You just can't use any of the other antenna's while it is not in any dock. The only one right now for the Inno is the Belkin antenna headphones.

[jeffelms]

like the myfi u need the car kit to keep a signal.

DO YOU NEED THE CAR KIT WITH THE INNO ALSO ? ANY ONE HAVE IT AND TRY THIS YET? DRIVE WITH OUT THE ANTENNA HOOKED UP AND SEE IF IT WORKS BY JUST LAYING IT ON YOUR DASH?

MY MYFI WORKS LIKE THIS SOME DAYS NOT ALL!

You'll probably get the same results as the myfi. The reception is a little better in my experience. But not that much better.
If you plan on doing that, you had better hope the one you get has version 1.05 of the firmware and never update it. The next firmware update disables the FM Mod when it is not in the car dock. Something a lot of people are going to be very upset about. Myself incuded.

[RaullyRal]

I was under the impression you could not use your MyFi antenna. Read the quote below.

I'm using the home antennae that came with the myfi which then connects to the home dock of the inno. That probably makes things more clear...

[RaullyRal]

deleting the commercials is great, but you still get a few 30 some minute segments with a commercial stuck on the front which fucks up the segment name. What the fuck? a 74:47 segment called Keg' Mo' Series? oh, wait, that's a commercial that i have to FF thru. Would be nice if the Inno could recognize pad data change and segment breaks, i didn't see the EROCK misspellings.

Yeah I noticed this too. On yesterday's show. Where's the fast forward? I wish these came with fast forward...

[jeffelms]

Press and hold the right arrow.

[nemohgod]

I hate the fact that the pad data does not stick. I was recording O&A while driving to work and I saw the pad data saying Vos is a Dope. The when I replayed the track it said only 1866wow1wow number, that is too weird. I am taking it back cause I can't stand that, yeah right, I love this little peice of shit. I have like 800 songs recorded and still I have plenty of room.

[WOWmagnet]

When using the case with the belt-clip; if the front snap comes undone (which it will), your $400 INNO will hit the sidwalk. A POORLY THOUGHT OUT CASE!
There is no reason for that front(while using clip) snap to even exist. I'm going to permanently secure that snap closed so this can never happen again.

Again, a really bad design on the case while using the belt clip!

[O&AbetterOn202]

I just got the new Inno and I am trying to figure out how to get the FM modulator to work. It says that it has one built in on the XM product description website. However in the directions it says that you need to buy a car kit for it. I have also seen posts that say they have used the docking station that it comes with to get fm modulator also??? Can someone please clarify for me? Thanks!

[d0uche_n0zzle]

From what I've read the FM mod on the Inno only works in a dock.

If your Inno has version 1.05 of the firmware then it will work out of the dock. But you have to manually turn it on every time you turn the Inno on when not in the car dock.
The new firmware when it comes out will disable that though and it will only work in the car dock.

[JPetrucci23]

If you have the old firmware- press the XM button, go to settings-FM Modulator-FM mode- ON. Just be sure to turn it to OFF after, or your battery will completely drain out rather quickly. I also recommend going to settings- preferences-change display-backlight timer to put it to 15 or 30 seconds. leaving that on can also drain the battery. i hope that helps.

[Minister Moron]

You dont need to have it docked in the home or car dock for the FM modulator to work in your car. All you have to do is plug in that little foot long cable that came with it in the side and that serves as the modulator.

[DidYa?]

If you ever update the firmware you will loose the FM Mod outside of the car dock.

[Minister Moron]

didya?

What the hell is this firmware version 1.05 everyones mentioning? Arent all of these innos the same? They were all released at the same time so why would some have this firmware 1.05 and some dont? Im confused... Please explain.

[1fumbduck]

Minister Moron,

I was just on XM411, some folks who ordered the inno from CompUSA recieved their inno's with the new firmware version 1.10. The FM mod on this version only works in the car cradle. So far it seems it's only on the preorders from CompUSA. If you have an inno running v.1.05 and the FM mod in the home cradle and portable mode is important to your use, DO NOT UPGRADE the firmware. An inno with no FM mod is totally useless to me.

[Minister Moron]

1fumbduck,

Thats the dumbest thing ive heard. Why the hell would comp usa be selling inno's that are different from every other inno on the market? And what is the benefit of firmware v 1.10 compared to v 1.05? If you ask me it sounds shittier than v 1.05 so why would they "upgrade"? I dont even know what the fuck firmware is... Im confused.

FM mod works anywhere right now, just have to have either the headpgobnes or that extra "dongle" cable plugged in.Hhit the center button, go to settings, FM Modulator, FM Mode, turn it to "on". Seems you have to do this every time you undock the unit, or even turn the pwoer off. Just check this if it doesnt work.

There is a new firmware update tyat will be released soon that will disable the FM mod except when it is in the Car dock. fukin BS

Soon everyone will be selling Inno's with 1.10. It seems that CompUSA got the first shipment of 1.10's

[Shane1V]

Yes, as long as you have firmware version 1.05. If you ever update the firmware you will loose the FM Mod outside of the car dock.

Any idea if the new firmware does anything ELSE besides this bullshit FM mod change?

[Shane1V]

The firmware that came with mine that I got at best buy is 1.10. I guess I need to spend more f'in money on something to allow the FM modulator, but I don't even need it in the car since I have the factory install on my honda. Do you all know if there is anything else that I can do to get the older version of the firmware or if you can buy an fm modulator that is compatable with Inno as an attachment? This is so stupid, what money hungry asses. This thing is 400 as it is! Why would they dissable a feature! UGH other than that I love it, much better reception and much nicer graphics with color screan.

[Minister Moron]

Yea the one I bought is the version 1.05 and all you need to do is plug in that dongle cable that came with it. This is like reverse technology because on my myfi you could just hit mode and it would automatically play any material stored on it without having to put it in a cradle or plug in some exterior device. What the fuck is the purpose of having to put it in a cradle or plugging in some stupid thing called a dongle? Why didnt they just use the technology that the myfi had with a built in automatic fm modulator? Stupid gooks... I thought they were smarter than that. E Lo look out im sending you some hate mail sir.

You can kind of rewind. It has a 10 minute buffer. You can hit record song even in the last second, if it's not over 10 minutes long, and it will save the whole song for replay later.

And the firmware version 1.10 doesn't exist. I checked yesterday for the newest version and it's 1.05. You can't download 1.10 if you wanted to.

I mostly record and listen to the show later and I'm getting great battery life. I can listen to about two and a half O&A shows on one charge.

[Slow Bollards]

Overall I guess I like my Inno. I'm sort of kicking myselff for buying it right away and not waiting for more reports to come in. Mine seems kind of glitchy and I don't get good reception where i need it to. Its a cool toy, but I'm not sure if I got my $400+ worth out of it, when you ocnsider that first I need to buy antenna headphones, then it seems as though I can't upgrade my firmware without losing my modulator, which really annoys me.

[martianvirus]

Modulator LIES.

OK, if the firmware is being changed because of the FCC, then why not take it out all together?

This makes no since.

The FM Modulator that is built in is weak. So they are now going to force people to use the car kit which has a stronger FM signal?

Either you can have an FM modulator in your car or you can't at all. Why does it matter that it's in a cradle or on your seat? IT DOESN"T!!!!!

[Slow Bollards]

Please bear with me, but I'm really confused. My main use for my Inno was to be my main house radio so I wouldn't have to disconnect/reconnect my other unit so much. And obviously to use on the go, walking the dog etc. At home and in the cradle I use the modulator to listen on multiple radios throughout my house.

So by upgrading the firmware, will I lose my ability to do so?

BUT...and easy fix is a seperate FM mod you can buy. I hear they work well and are not expensive.

I bought one at best buy to use with my mp3 player while in the car. It was about $30 but it is not that powerful. The signal was fairly weak and I stopped using it. The FM transmitter built into my roady 2 is alot stronger.

[Minister Moron]

What the fuck?! Does anyone elses Inno freeze up on them when they turn it off? Almost every time I turn it off the screen freezes on the very last display screen (the one that says Pioneer) then I have to take the battery out for like 10 seconds put it back in, and wait like a minute til I hear a really faint beep than I can turn it back on. Im afraid to return it because I dont want that version 1.10 firmware or whatever the hell it is you guys keep mentioning.

Another question for anyone that knows... Roughly how much space does an O&A show take up on the drive in the inno? I have almost the entire thing filled, but I want to leave enough room for a 5-6 hour (however long it is) show.

[usadingo]

I have my Inno set to 50/50, and O&A plus about an hour of Ron and Fez only took up 3% according to my little display.

[O&AbetterOn202]

Anyone hear anything about the Helix? Is it supposed to be better/worse than inno? When is it coming out? I bought an inno and I like it but just curious to know if I should return it to wait for the Helix?

[DidYa?]

You don't even have to do this. I just hit the modulator ON, and I get great reception/broadcast to my FM radio in the car.:clap:

[jc_from_li]

Does anyone know how to get the inno to record the whole song? Does it have to be on for a certain period of time before it will do this? Mine will only record from when you hit the button?

Jc

[hillarythegreat]

Just another weird problem:

I saved part of yesterdays show on the Inno to listen to today and I deleted everything except that part which was the last 30 minutes of yesterdays show. I deleted this using the Napster software. Today I listen to that part and after it is over I delete that last section on the Inno.

Now I go to start todays show which did record because I deleted all the commercials from it earlier. What starts to play? Yesterdays show.All of it. I go back into Napster to see the date on this show and it shows todays date, june 1. Yet it is yesterdays show.

Last time I had something weird, I went to delete a R&F show, it said it deleted it, then I went to listen to the next show, it was deleted and I only had one more show to listen to when there should have been 4 more.

[DidYa?]

You have to be on the channel when the song starts to record the whole song. You can press record up to 10 minutes later and get the whole song. It cant record what you didn't hear.

You're thinking of the Nexus, which doesn't have live capabilities. The Helix isn't out yet.

I have to say I am VERY disapointed with the reception of this thing. I took it out last night while walking the dog, and barely got any reception. Not cool in my book.

I have heard good things about them, but $50 bucks for a pair of cheap ass headphones JUST so I can have reception when portable is not reasonable to me. The part that gets me is that the unit SHOULD get decent reception without needing "antenna headphones".

i had that prob and another today. the second prob was the satellite feed got interupted for a split second and apparently caused some glitch that made the last portion of the show that recorded before the interuption repeat in a loop that created a 100 min segment of that same repeat till 12:00pm. oh, and the pad data is always fucked up on the inno when you record the show live.

i picked up an inno on friday and so far was very pleased with it; until i got on the train to go to work monday. this thing can't hold a fucking 5 second block of reception and keeps cutting out; and i even have that goofy looking antenna/headset. anyone have any ideas?

[Spookymonster]

anyone have any ideas?

Keep a line of site with the antenna(s) thru the window (that is, don't keep it in your pants pocket).

Try to sit on the side of the train that gets the most southern exposure. This might help with receiving a direct satellite feed.

It sounds like you don't have any terrestrial repeaters along your route, or you may live in a rural area. The only other suggestion I could make is to move and/or find a new way to work (repeaters are typically placed with good LOS to highways).

[TheJew]

It sounds like you don't have any terrestrial repeaters along your route, or you may live in a rural area.
i live in union county and take the raritan valley line to newark penn and then to ny penn. when the inno is docked in my car i have NEVER heard a drop; but when i had my old one it would drop out under trees and in random spots.

[The Lurker]

Finally got my Helix (yeah, I know this is an Inno thread), and so far... no major complaints. The size is perfect, the ability to put my own MP3's on it is fucking awesome, the color screen rocks, and the interface is easy to use. I do have a gripe with 2 things. 1) The volume should go higher. Not because I want to blow my ears out, but because I use the headphone jack to plug the thing into my car stereo. It's not loud enough for that purpose. 2) The bass level needs to be able to go higher. My MyFi could crank out a ton of bass, and this one is pretty weak, even on the highest level.

Still, overall, this thing is absolutely everything that it should be. It is definitely going to give the Ipod some serious competition. Hell, right now I'm listening to R&F on it inside a building, with no fadeouts at all.
Good job XM for the Helix and Inno!!

[Ovaherenow]

got the inno Monday and it does certainly rock...feels more like 2 generations past the MyFi.

Only thing is for some reason when I set playlists it seems to make copies of the song...and use up memory..is that possible?

[Absolutely]

I think I fucked something up.
I just got my Inno this morning, and it was supposed to have come pre-activated, I used the OnA Spring promotion code.
Anyway, I turned it on and was able to scroll through channels and then it said "Loading" for awhile and now it says " To Activate Call"

Do I just need them to send me another activation shot?

Thanks, I probably should have read some instructions before i excitedly powered it on.

Does anyone use it in their car for live xm, not using the cardock just the Inno itself.
I had all kinds of dropouts naturally around roads w/ trees. it worked well on the highway.
Anyone have some car tips. The earphone cord isnt long enough to like lay it on the dash or anything.

The weird thing is it works in my basement well, by no window or home dock antenae


Edit... I just popped in the antenae earphones, wow they really do make a difference.
I get the full three bars now anywhere inside. Too bad they don't make anteanea headphones like the earbuds they come with. I like that fit alot better

Ok for the third time in the month that I have had my Inno, it decided not to record Opie and Anthony. Instead, at exactly the time it would normally start recording O&A, it instead recorded exactly one minute of Fred on channel 44. Because it decided to record this channel on it's own for one minute, it didn't record any of the O&A show on Friday. This thing is possessed.

And again today, no show on the Inno. I have no idea what is up with this thing. It's set to record. Maybe it's time to buy a new one and then return this one for a refund.

I solved my problem by doing a reset. I chose the reset that doesn't erase songs. So far everything has started to record on time including the O&A replay today. So if anyone is having problems with sessions not recording, reset and you will have to re-enter the sessions and all should work ok again.

Do you also have a car kit? If I take mine from my car kit and put it on the home kit it will not record. If I turn it on for at least a few seconds when putting it in the home kit, it works everytime. Also, don't put it on the home kit while already on.

Yes I have a car kit and I know about what you have written above. That still didn't fix the problem. I always powered it on and off anyways. Resetting was the only thing that worked.

Is it available in Canada? If I buy one from a US retailer, can I move my current sub over to it?

Thanks.

Has anyone else with the car charging cradle had trouble getting the Inno battery to charge?

I can only get my Inno's battery to charge in the home dock kit.

Why would you return the Inno that you can record the entire show on and cut out the commercials for an MP3 player? I guess I don't understand! I have a Ipod that has been sitting here collecting dust ever since I got XM and even more now since I have my Inno. Why you would want to listen to FM I have no clue, XM rules!!!!

I'm going to beat the dead horse here, but the new firmware update disables the FM Modulator when it's in the home cradle right?? The Modulator only works in the car cradle now with the new update?

I believe this is true.

I got my new INNO Wed & it's working great.
My original one had a power switch that stuck and did not work well.
AND...I got another of the "old" firmware so the FM mod works! :icon_mrgr

Anyone else have a problem with it not wanting to record some channels. For example if I try to record 44, 47, 52, or 54 it'll only record for about a minute then stop with a message that says "signal faded recording stopped" Now I get a full satellite signal, don't see the little power meter change at all on the screen, or hear any sign that the signal faded, since the music is still playing. But this makes it so I can't record the music channels I listen to mainly. Now here is the odd part. If I record channel 202 it records fine (minus the screwed up pad data that everyone gets of course. Channel 84 is also fine. I sent a message to pioneer (since XM doesn't support you on the radios you buy from then for some dumb reason) so we'll see if that does any good. I was just wondering if it was just me who was having this problem or if it was everyone.
