I just received my Merge Radio today 5/19/09 I have tried contacting Xm regarding the boombox that was pictured with the unit 1 week ago, to my dismay I have been told that there is NO BOOMBOX for this radio despite what was pictured with the unit, I know am faced with the dilema of returning this unit, can anyone shed any light on this?
The boombox will come at some point, so just enjoy the radio with the home and/or car kits in the mean time.Originally Posted by Surging High
Upon further review... I can see the dock under accessories for that unit. See attached.
Clicking that link takes me no where... like the product does not exist. Maybe they are out of stock? Did they drop the product totally? I am guessing that it has not been released yet since it has been mentioned in their press releases.

We get calls for the Mirge which is weird because it's an exclusive to Sirius.com and XMRadio.com and we can't carry it
But that sound system pictured is the XM Compact Sound System. It comes with a set of plastic guides or connectors with it, and I doubt the Mirge piece is included, but if you don't mind the look of it without the black plastic guide I'm sure it will work fine on the connector without one. But usually how this stuff works it they start to include the guide pieces for the new radio in the more recent shipments of it. That or they will sell the guide pieces separate.
The XM Boomboxes have always been a bit more flexible in terms of designing their Boomboxes to work with multiple lines of radios, unlike the SIRIUS ones where they pigeon hole them into only working with one of a few radios. IE the SUBX2 won't fit a Sportster 3 or Sportster 4 on it.
Taylor....
Thank You so much for stopping by.
Readers, this is Taylor from TSS Radio. They are a site sponsor, and have the best customer service out there. The fact that he stops in here from time to time shows his dedication. He is even answering questions about a radio he does not carry!
Thank you TSS

Agree 100%. TSS outstanding customer service. come to think of it...Taylor...are you available to train the CSR of SiriusXM...they need some help.
taylor...thanks for the quick turnaround on my XMP3 purchase. Received it in 4 days!!!!
Thanks. And speaking of needing help, we are getting some XMp3 cases made since Pioneer hasn't and this product has been out since Nov.
BTW, I might have to just buy a Mirge just to answer questions about it that lead nowhere in sales cuz we can't sell it
Tom
What kind of case are you talking about for the XMP3?
A case similar to the armband cases for the Stilettos.
I ordered a Mirge Radio to play around with. I think the sound system is supposed to be specific to the Mirge which isn't what I thought, but I will know soon.
Tom
How long before you have the cases available?
