Move your music effortlessly between car, home, or office.
An easy-to-read, six-line, 2.7-inch multi-color display helps keep tabs on the channel name and number, category, artist name, song title, and time simultaneously. The receiver also lets you program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. And with a quick press of the one-touch jump button, you can instantly switch between traffic and weather reports for your city and any of your preset music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include an S-Seek function that stores your favorite artists and songs and alerts you when one is playing on any of the music channels, direct station tuning via the numeric buttons, and a channel lock option. Time functions include an onscreen clock, alarm, and sleep timer, as well as a program alert that allows the unit to switch to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time.

The Sportster 5 really earns its stripes, however, with its variety of enhanced features designed specifically for sports lovers. The Game Alert feature prompts you when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on Sirius. The Game Zone lists all of your favorite teams in one virtual category and lets you select a different team from each of the various sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and college sports. And what sports fan could do without the Sportster's instant replay function, which lets you pause, rewind, and replay 60 minutes of live radio? As soon as you tune to a channel, the receiver automatically begins storing the audio for later playback.

The Sportster 5 also includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Sportster 5 to the same frequency. This function also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the bundled vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Parents also have control over channels and channel lockout. Measuring just 9.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches, the Sportster 5 weighs a mere 3.7 ounces.

Exactly what I wanted2009-01-095 / 5
I did a lot of research before asking for this particular radio as a gift. I am glad I did, because this is perfect for me! I love that you can pick between 15 different display screens. The unit plugs snugly into the mount so there is no worry about it falling out. It is also easy to remove for those times you don't want to leave it in the car. I had mine installed, and they mounted it to the windshield. It stays firmly in place. The display is large, and very easy to read. It holds 30 presets which I think is just awesome! Navigating between channels is easy as you can find each category and look at all the channels available. Once you set your presets, you can then go through them and see what is playing before you change the channel.
When I had mine installed, the guy sold me an extra part that eliminated feedback from radio stations that might have the same preset that the Sportster is set to. I don't know if this made a difference, but every song comes in clear, like CD quality. I haven't had any static or interference at all. The station it is set to is close to a station here in town, and no outside noise bleeds through.
Because of a suggestion from another reviewer, I called Sirius to activate it, instead of using the website. My call was answered within 2 minutes. The sales person was very helpful and my radio was working within 5 minutes. The service was faster than I expected. Later that evening, I wasn't able to get my password to work online (turns out I was given the incorrect one). I called again, and got a live person within 2 minutes. She had me up and going pretty much instantly (within a minute). She was friendly and very informative.
This is my first satellite radio, so I did actually have to read a little of the manual. I don't normally read them because I can usually figure things out on my own. The manual was easy to read, and very "step by step". It has a table of contents so if you aren't sure of how to work a specific feature, you can find that particular page directly.
Again, I am very happy with this radio and (as you can see) I would recommend it to anyone.
Radio review2009-01-095 / 5
I bought the Sirius radio for my husband as a Christmas present. He has been so excited about the radio that he acts like a kid who got just the gift he requested. The funny thing is, he didn't have the Sirius radio on his list! He has been enjoying his radio to the fullest since the day he installed it and hasn't made one complaint.
Purchaser2009-01-075 / 5
I bought this radio for my son. He is pleased with his gift and I was pleased with the ease of ordering and the prompt delivery of the merchandise. This was the first time that I ordered from . I also ordered 2 GPS's and it turned out that they were duplicates. The returning of these was extremely easy. Thank you!
Great little unit2009-01-074 / 5
A nice unit with a decent display and solid little remote. Make sure you have a good place to setup the antenna. The stations available in the various packages are great with an excellent variety and no ads.
For car installation you'll need a professional to do it right.
Using this with the home dock kit.
Sirius Sportster 5 review2009-01-075 / 5
Great item and company was easy to deal with. My husband had to exchange sirius for XM since Sirius does not offer a MLB network. The company could not have been easier and more helpful to deal with. Thanks.
