nuff said. I purchased the Delphi SA 10042 XM Radio Roady Remote Control, You sent it to me, I have been using it. I am happy, You are happy.
If I bring it in the house with my receiver to listen to XM inside - after a while, IT WILL NOT WORK. Both my wife and I have this remote for our Delphi Roady 2 & Delphi Roady XT respectfully. Please don't waste your money on this remote. USELESS. We have the exact same problem with them. If it sits in the car on a hot summer day, it works fine.
It isn't a battery issue since I already bought new batteries to make sure it isn't the problem. Since it is even colder out now it takes almost my entire ride to work for the thing to warm up enough to work. I have had my roady for a couple of years and have noticed that when the weather is cold it does not work. I have to place it on my heat vent or sit on it to warm it up before it will work.
It does use a nice 3V coin battery that comes with it, but for channel surfing, not a good design. But it seems very slow in responding to power/on power off, and really isn't all that good from about 10 feet away, where I control my Roady from while at my desk. The remote is well designed, and small. fits in the plam of your hand.
Overall I think its a wonderful item and makes having XM radio safer because you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use it. This remote works nicely, user friendly. The buttons DO NOT light up or glow in the dark, but not a big issue.
