SiriusXM RoadyBT (Bluetooth) Vehicle Satellite Radio - Enjoy SiriusXM Through Your Existing Car Stereo via Bluetooth (RoadyBT SXVRBT1)

El equipo es bueno para usar en autos que no tengan servicio de radio satelital. Requiere menos cableado que los anteriores receptores lo que lo hace menos invasivo.

I should have checked closer. This one didn't match my other installations and had to change it.

I recently purchased a 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman that didn't come equipped with SiriusXM from the factory, and adding satellite radio was one of the first upgrades on my list. After researching my options, I decided on the SiriusXM Roady BT, and I'm extremely happy with the results. One of my biggest concerns was avoiding an installation that looked cheap or cluttered. I didn't want wires draped across the dashboard or plugged into a visible cigarette lighter socket screaming "aftermarket." I wanted something that looked as close to a factory installation as possible. Instead of using the included 12V Smart Power Adapter in a visible power outlet, I used an add-a-circuit fuse tap and a 12V cigarette lighter socket pigtail to create a hidden power source behind the dashboard. The installation was surprisingly straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic wiring or willing to spend a few minutes watching a YouTube tutorial. I tapped into the existing 12V outlet fuse, connected the pigtail, grounded it to a factory body ground behind the kick panel, and hid all of the wiring behind the interior trim panels. One thing worth mentioning is that the included Smart Power Adapter is much more than just a cigarette lighter plug. It actually contains the electronics that communicate with the Roady BT and stores important information used by the radio, including activation and identification functions. Because of this, you can't simply cut the plug off and hardwire the radio directly. The way the system is designed is actually pretty clever. The only cable that runs directly to the Roady BT head unit is the USB-C power/data cable. The satellite antenna cable, optional AUX cable, and the other end of the USB-C cable all connect to the Smart Power Adapter, which serves as the central hub for the system. By hiding the Smart Power Adapter behind the dashboard and powering it through a hidden socket connected to a fuse tap, I was able to keep the installation looking clean and factory-like while retaining all of the radio's functionality. For the antenna, I mounted it on the roof as recommended and routed the cable into the cab through the third brake light. On a truck, this is incredibly easy since the brake light is only held in place by two screws. From there, I tucked the antenna wire behind the headliner and continued routing it behind interior panels all the way down to the dash. After securing everything with zip ties, the installation looked incredibly clean with virtually no visible wiring anywhere. The end result is exactly what I was hoping for. I now have SiriusXM in my truck without sacrificing valuable dash or console space, and the setup looks about as factory as an aftermarket installation can. As for the Roady BT itself, it works flawlessly. I connected it through Bluetooth, and the audio quality is excellent—crystal clear with no noticeable loss in sound quality. It also offers AUX and FM transmitter options for vehicles without Bluetooth, making it very versatile. The display is bright, easy to read, and packed with useful features. Channel browsing is simple, and the overall user experience feels polished and well thought out. If you're considering adding SiriusXM to a vehicle that didn't come with it from the factory, don't let the included power adapter fool you into thinking you'll have wires everywhere. With a little planning and ingenuity, this unit can be installed very cleanly and discreetly while delivering outstanding performance. I'm attaching photos of my installation so others can see how clean and factory-like it can look. Overall, I'm extremely impressed and would absolutely recommend the Roady BT to anyone looking to add SiriusXM to their vehicle. Pros: – Excellent sound quality via Bluetooth – Multiple connection options (Bluetooth, AUX, FM) – Bright, easy-to-read display –Tons of SiriusXM features and channels – Can be installed very cleanly with hidden wiring with a little ingenuity – Great option for vehicles without factory SiriusXM Highly recommended! It gave my work truck the SiriusXM capability I wanted while maintaining a clean, factory-style appearance. If you're willing to spend a little extra time on the installation, you can achieve results that look surprisingly close to a factory-installed system.

This SiriusXM Roady BT is an awesome addition to my vehicle! The sound quality is great, the setup was straightforward, and it gives access to so many channels for music, talk shows, sports, and more. One of my favorite features is the Bluetooth capability because it means one less cord to hide if needed, which makes the setup look much cleaner and less cluttered. The display is easy to read, the controls are simple to use, and it works reliably while driving. Definitely a great choice for anyone wanting satellite radio without a complicated installation!

Easy to set up, already had an antenna routed through, I was using the SiriusXM Tour but the rough-riding vehicle it was in was causing frequent antenna connection issues with the dock, so decided to get the Roady instead and transfer the subscription. I've been using the Roady now for over a week and it's been solid. Using bluetooth connection between it and the factory radio (2023 Ram Promaster). Didn't try FM modulation as its typically not as good quality and the vehicle audio system doesn't have an AUX jack, so bluetooth was the only option. I read another review that it has connection issues with using bluetooth on a radio equipped with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto which could be a licensing issue, which the Promaster has both, and I use CarPlay wirelessly while also listening to the bluetooth stream from the Roady with no issues. Sometimes I get no audio but it's a bug in the vehicle audio system and not the roady. I also use it on a seperate battery (its a battery designed for dashcams to keep them powered up when the car is parked), that way it reconnects to bluetooth again with no issues and I can go back to previous songs on the preset channels I have. I make multiple stops along my work route and that power source allows uninterrupted recordings I can go back or skip forward on.
