Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Great Item - Great Price ...
I installed this in my BMW and it works great! I had a Best Buy install it for me for $50 and I love it! The only thing that I do not like about this is it does not display the song name and title like the window mount receivers do. Other than that, buy this item with confidence!



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Works Great
Unfortunately I had to buy a new one of these since I had the old-school one with dual inputs rather than the single. My antenna broke and so the new antennas only have the singe input and the splitter adaptor never would work. Anyway, we installed it in seconds and it works perfectly. Best price I found on the web other than [...] which was reasonable.


Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - * Satellite works with major flaw ...
Revised...

Not sure what happened, but for the last two weeks the screen seems to work as advertised. Nothing changed on my end, so it must have been something that Sirsus did with the repeaters. I'm changing my rating from 3 to 4.

Old review...
I bought the SIR-KEN1 6 months ago to compliment my new stereo. The most important part of the tuner is the music and it works as advertised. There is an annoying glitch with the text display. The display will flash a bunch of station names other than the one that you are on. Also artist and song texts do not show. All three text lines generally flash "WAITING..." The issue has something to do with terrestrial repeaters in metro areas used to combat obstacles like tall buildings. When you leave the metro areas, the text works properly.

Apparently this is a common issue with the SIR-KEN1. The SIR-KEN1 is not manufactured by Sirius or Kenwood. Directed Electronics makes them. Directed Electronics points the finger at Sirius. Sirius points the finger at Kenwood. Kenwood points the finger at Directed Electronics. I think Directed Electronics owns this flaw, since the stereo and the sound part of satellite radio work flawlessly. A simple software update should fix this issue. Do a search for SIR-KEN1 + waiting to find out more.

Again, the unit works for music. If you want to know what you are listening to then you will be disappointed.


Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Couldn't be easier to get Satellite Radio!
I bought my wife a Kenwood car stereo last fall, one that is Sirius ready. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but recently the radio stations in our area have become so overloaded with commercials and less-than-stellar programming content, so we looked into getting satellite radio. We had some gift cards lying around, went to BestBuy (same price as here) and bought one.

The hardest part was routing the antenna cable--I wanted to mount it on the roof but the cable would not fit inside the rear window molding easily (per the instructions) so I put it on the trunk and ran the cable to the glovebox via the interior molding (very easy to do on a Hyundai Elantra). I took out the head unit, plugged in the control cable, plugged the other end into the satellite reciever, plugged in the antenna, signed up for the service online, and less than a minute later we had satellite radio! I was impressed because I didn't have to splice in a wiring harness, and everything is hidden from view. If she parks in an unsafe area, all she has to do is put the little antenna (which sticks via strong magnets and adhesive strips) in the trunk and unplug the unit and take it with her. Simple!

I'm going out to buy one for my car tomorrow.

Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
$22.99



Stephen Sondheim's Victorian horror thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is generally considered his greatest work, macabre but darkly humorous with a viscerally powerful score that has found a home both on Broadway and in opera houses. George Hearn (who replaced Len Cariou of the original Broadway cast) plays the title character, a wronged man whose lust for revenge drives him to murder (an 18th-century legend who has been traced to a real-life barber), and Angela Lansbury plays his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett, who finds a practical business use for Todd's victims. This combination of horror and humor is echoed in Sondheim's score: brooding menace ("The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," "My Friend"), achingly beautiful ballads ("Johanna," "Not While I'm Around"), clever puns ("A Little Priest"), coloratura arias ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"), and intricate choral and ensemble numbers.

Continuing a fortuitous tradition of capturing the Sondheim legacy on video recordings, this performance was filmed before a live audience in Los Angeles during the 1982 national tour. Almost 20 years later, Hearn returned to the role opposite Patti LuPone in an acclaimed concert production. But Sweeney Todd is an especially compelling experience in this 1982 version, complete with the clever staging tricks (e.g., the barber's chair) and as close to the original cast as we're likely to see. --David Horiuchi

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella
$9.99



A guilty, guilty pleasure, perhaps not one a left-wing feminist should be admitting to in public. Female boomers should recall yearly TV reruns of this Rodgers and Hammerstein production, featuring such delights as "Impossible" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" It may appear a bit stark to younger viewers, but part of the charm of this 1964 network TV special, a remake of the live 1957 telecast originally built around Julie Andrews, is its utter simplicity. An extremely young Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon (of General Hospital fame) are joined by Ginger Rogers, Walter Pidgeon, and Celeste Holm. Warren is all sweetness and innocence without a hint of saccharine artificiality, while Damon is a clear-eyed romantic. This very handsome love story is a bit of an oddity, but worth owning just for the memorable score. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Hairspray
$9.49



John Waters made his bid for PG respectability with this enjoyably trashy comedy about the racial integration of a teen dance show on Baltimore television in the early '60s. Waters, as always, makes a virtue of junk culture and the powerful emotional forces it can represent as kids vie to get on the show. Meanwhile, a parade of former stars (Pia Zadora, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono) and pseudostars (Divine, Ricki Lake) cross the screen, playing freakish characters absorbed by thoughts of fame. (Waters himself turns up as a weirdo psychiatrist.) This transitional film for Waters is rough going at times and not as interesting or funny as his later features Cry-Baby and Serial Mom, but it's worth a look. --Tom Keogh

Waking Up Laughing
$14.99



Martina McBride has long been a champion of music as social consciousness, particularly for abused women ("Independence Day") and children. On Waking Up Laughing, her ninth album and the follow-up to Timeless, her platinum-selling album of country classics, she advances the theme while expanding it. While two songs explore the issue of unwed mothers (particularly the exquisite "Love Land," which closes the album), and another, "Beautiful Again," touches on child sexual abuse, her overall repertoire embraces the wholeness of family, and of standing strong together in the face of adversity and defeat. Musically, McBride has always proved to be an elegant thorn--her song selection is often inspired (and here, she co-wrote three tunes, including the skyscraping single "Anyway"), but she has tended to use her huge, ride-the-wave soprano full-tilt, without employing the subtle shadings that would make her even more emotionally resonant. On Waking Up Laughing she seems to have worked on the problem, yet in her second foray as solo producer, she still tends to gild the lily instrumentally--inflating string bridges between choruses, for example, or loading the opening country-pop track, "If I Had Your Name," with a Southern-rock guitar break, a listen-to-me fiddle showcase, a Celtic guitar intro, and a close that brings to mind George Harrison's sitar in play-it-backward mode. That said, she makes fine use of what sounds like a black female choir on the uplifting "For These Times," and wisely keeps the haunting break-up ballad "Tryin' to Find a Reason" (with Keith Urban's harmony vocals and guitar solo) lean and affecting. As McBride works to refine her pastiche of creativity, commerciality, and social awareness, she slyly takes more chances than one might think, all the while rallying old fans and making new ones. --Alanna Nash
The Muppet Christmas Carol
$10.99



For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. If you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ("Good King Wenceslas"), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ("Marley & Marley"), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ("Bless Us All"), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. If, on the other hand, your interest in this disc has more to do with its inclusion in the way-narrow Christmas-record-for-kids category--if the spirit of the season doesn't extend, for you, to the magic of the Muppets--you may want to keep browsing, as it's a soundtrack first (overture, instrumentals, and all) and a Christmas CD second. That's not to suggest you're stuck with an un-fun disc should it land on your holiday stack without a prior screening, though. Miles Goodman's score sweeps and inspires, and certain tracks--"One More Sleep 'til Christmas" and "Fozziwig's Party"--are future classics. (Note to the right-minded: After a misstep on the original release, Martina McBride's version of "When Love is Gone" is back.) -Tammy La Gorce
