"Google is your friend." That is what I tell our kids all the time. Great video thanks for all you do for our family. Love you Honey

[@DaleLClay]

Your welcome, if you become a truck driver use my name as a referral;-)

[@time4acodeb]

I have the same radio and love it. One thing I like about the onyx plus is the 2.0 xtra channels ch 300-455 that most radios dont get (siriusxm(.)com/xtrachannels) Fox News talk ch450 is great except they play the same 5 commercials over and over. That is where the pause button comes in, I pause for 5 minutes then I can skip through them all. It is very nice to be able to hit a preset and not hear the end of a song you love. When you hit the preset it starts right at the beginning of the song. On any of the presets in the same bank (a or b) you can rewind up to 30 minutes, if your radio has been on at least 30 min, to see what songs you missed

[@DaleLClay]

Yep, best investment so far.

[@DaleLClay]

I only do that for specific shows i may have missed while loading or away from the truck. Skipping commercials is a great feature. Reminds me of watching DirecTV. I skip every commercial on it.

[@mxpx148]

Thank you Dale!

[@billness2712]

that was fast man,,,you must be parked,,,what's on the deck now my dude? lol. I love the hell out of these vids.

[@DaleLClay]

+Bill Ness plastic pipe wright now.

[@mariemcclish2077]

hi that radio is so cool wish they had that for the house, take care have a nice week end,

[@DaleLClay]

It does play in the house. Just need the docking station for it. It's very versatile. Be safe.

[@madtitan9153]

I could be wrong, but my older SP5 model the song/band play notification feature and you could save it from the head unit itself. The band and or song had to be playing for you to store it, which may be what makes yours different. I had the SP5 for about 5 years before it started crapping out on me. I bought another one on eBay as they're discontinued, and after a little over a year it's acting up the way my last one did. I think I like this one as a newer replacement. Thanks for the video sir.

[@DaleLClay]

Unfortunately this one losses everything once its turned off, or is over an hour old.

[@madtitan9153]

I could pause/replay for over two hours if I'm not mistaken. I love it but it's time to upgrade. I like the color screen that yours has, looks pretty nice.

[@darrenspencer3592]

ok thanks dale i got it.

[@darrenspencer3592]

i bought one last week and it is great i love it!!!

[@DaleLClay]

+darren spencer I have replaced this with the same o e again.

[@darrenspencer3592]

+Dale Clay why

[@darrenspencer3592]

Why did you have to replace it dale?

[@DaleLClay]

+darren spencer It was having a connection issue. I replaced it with the exact same radio.

[@darrenspencer3592]

i was having the same problem with the sirius starmate 8 i replaced it with this radio so far i have not had any problems yet

[@AbcXyz-rn2lz]

Been tempted... Ditched it when talk radio went dead. I use to have the flagship models

[@anamariewinger7736]

Thanks Dale. Jay.

[@DaleLClay]

Saw two female flatbed drivers today. So they do exsist.

[@Scary-Gary]

I was looking at that particular setup you have there online. Does it happen to pick up a station that plays Coast to Coast AM? Not sure if you've heard of it, but it's a late night paranormal discussion show.

[@DaleLClay]

Archangel Oger It does not pick up FM or AM, it picks up Satellite, which is coast to coast. Of which some stations may play on AM as well as FM. I stay away from the paranormal. I like the normal.

[@matthewirle83]

Coast to coast comes on the road dog trucking channel 146 1am -5am EST.

[@DaleLClay]

Matthew Irle Thats way past my bed time :P

[@bjennings19]

I am a driver too. I was wondering does it stay in the dock well going down the road? Does it ever hop out of the dock after a big bump?

[@DaleLClay]

I am on my second radio now, it appears to be doing better. I am beginning to feel the only good Sat Radios are the ones that are integrated into the vehicles radio.

[@StevenLNew]

I usually use my cell phone and blue tooth now a days

[@billness2712]

I have a sat.radio that runs off a station they made it work on,,its not plugged in that port in radio and it works fine but once in a while the music on that station overpowers the sat radio,,,,if I plug it in that port on radio in dash will it be stronger?I'm Howard Stern 24/7 at work,,,,and sounds like I have same entana as you.just wondering, no big deal,,,,stay safe.

[@DaleLClay]

+Bill Ness I am not sure

[@jgladieux1964]

+Bill Ness you will like it a lot more if it's plugged in, if you don't want to use the AUX jack then get this shop.siriusxm.com/xm/ctl10600/cp49750/si4263737/cl1/fm_direct_adapter_for_powerconnect_radios_and_vehicle_kits

[@mxpx148]

Hey Dale, what kind of dash cam are you using?

[@DaleLClay]

mxpx148 MiVue 388, Uncle Sergie used it and that's why i got it. Sergie is a trucker i watch on KZbin

[@jenniferpetruzzi3275]

TireSlinger81 Please tell me my bf is a trucker Can ppl he chats with hear us in the truck?

[@acewings221]

I was going to hook mine up with vent mount. Is it legal though in a semi? I thought the vents have to be unobstructed

[@DaleLClay]

Not that I am aware.

[@misterbulger]

What does that have to do with safety? Lol

[@TheMILVET]

Dale, check out Channel 82, Radio Classics. One of my favs. PS; 33 years A.F myself, 2A6X2. Started with F-4 Phantoms. Then F-16 Fighting Falcons, moved to heavy's with the C-141 Starlifter, C5 Galaxy then C-17 Globe master. Great Vid's btw.

[@DaleLClay]

Holy Crap F4's. Those are historical artifacts now. ;) I started out as a 901 then too a 4F0X1 (flight medicine) which was merged into 4N0X1 (Medic). My last 10 years was working in Aeromedical Evacuation. Flew in C-130's, C-17's, C-21's, and KC-135's.

[@darrenspencer3592]

one more thing dale my radio turns off then turns back on by itself i want to know do you have the same problem

[@DaleLClay]

Yes, I don't think these cheap things were meant to survive the road vibrations we have to endure. I got a replacement, same radio, it is better now, but on occasion it completely disconnects and turns back on again, not as frequently as before.

[@warren7127]

Hello Dale o/ Quick question, at approximately the 2:00 mark you mention going online & saving favorite songs & the radio will let you know when they are playing. I have found where I can save favorite channels, but haven't figured out how to save songs/artists. Would you mind helping an internet idiot out & elaborate on how to do this? Thanks, Warren

[@DaleLClay]

warren7127 Well, as one idiot to another, i have yet to save my favorite stuff. Its supposedly done online. I may have to get a new receiver I think I am having issues with the antenna connection at the radio. Sorry i was not able to assist.

[@warren7127]

Dale Clay No problem mate, I figured it out. You can save your favorite channels to a list online & print it out for carry along. But to do what you have described, has to be done on the radio/receiver itself. I found it somewhere in the manual. Of all places, who would have thought, it was in the manual :) LOL

[@warren7127]

Dale Clay BTW! your antenna connection problem... is it cutting out as if you are in a tunnel or building? I had this issue, & it is at the connection point. I took a rubber band, wrapped it around the backside of the base & antenna plug, drawing the plug in towards the base, tightening the connection. Haven't had a signal drop since.

[@DaleLClay]

warren7127 Unfortunately it seems my problem may be worse. It goes in and out even if I squeeze and hold the antenna plug in. It also seems to move at the point of attachment to the radio, so I think the receiver plug is the actual loose part and disconnecting on the interior some where.

[@DaleLClay]

warren7127 Always lol

[@johnd1616]

Did this radio come out before or after the EZR radio??

[@DaleLClay]

They all seem to be cheap and need regular replacment. I had the company pay for it and lower my bill to like 5 bucks.

[@arcticdan]

Can anyone confirm that its not just my radio that's screwed. When I put tune mix on, even tho there's an hour worth of stuff recorded it still doesn't cycle through the songs. It makes me wait. Then when I can move ahead a couple songs it eventually just stops again. If return a few of the "onyx plus" and the first one was slightly different in the way that when i had tune mix on the screen would show that i can move forward by pressing >> . This one on the other hand has nothing but a tune mix logo at the bottom right of the screen. Can anyone shine some light on this. Very frustrating radio.

[@DaleLClay]

I have never used that function or even heard of it. Sounds like I may be missing out on something.

[@arcticdan]

Its the only reason I bought this radio. I need people to check it out and see what there radio's do. Cause I'm confused with its function. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. Try her out and let me know. Would be a great help. Ive asked sirius and they don't have an answer for me. Gotta love the customer service..

[@wsmtrucker7187]

I don't know if I ask u this but your truck is automatic?

[@DaleLClay]

All of Mavericks trucks have been auto-shift for several years from what I have been told.

[@bluehappyscrap]

AWESOME !!!😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈

[@darrenspencer3592]

Dale on the song alerts i want to delete one artist but i only see delete all artist in the menu??

[@DaleLClay]

+darren spencer That's one function I have never utilized, so my advice would be without merit. Sorry.

[@darrenspencer3592]

Ok thanks dale

[@ktant75]

How hard was this to install? Do I need a company to install it?

[@DaleLClay]

Its rather easy, it's more just running wires to the correct plugs. I believe it's pretty much a plug and play device. Also, I eventually I got them down to 5 dollars a month..... something like that. As they don't want anyone to leave their established service.

[@darrenspencer3592]

yea it get irritating sometime but i still love this radio i just wish it didnt do that because i lose all the replay songs and that makes me mad😠

[@DaleLClay]

I hear ya there

[@jacobstevens9661]

i have this one radio i use the remote and it never lets me down.

[@DaleLClay]

+Jacob Stevens good news

[@misterbulger]

A magnetic antennae!? Damn my Ford roof is Aluminim I'm pretty sure :-/

[@DaleLClay]

That's the cheap one it comes with. I bought a more robust one I mounted to the outside of the truck

[@ericcurlett811]

How did you hide the antenna wire on the side of your truck?

[@DaleLClay]

Goes over the roof and into the top of the passenger door.

[@Calx91]

Lies u love Nick Jonas lol 😂

[@DaleLClay]

+CaLxRoyalty lol

[@michaelhelton2394]

I like Fox News

[@dcsmooth]

That lip smacking though.....just take a drink of water.
