I'm not totally familiar with the roady, but it is designed to be installed at home, depending on your installation preferences.The simplest install would be a wireless FM modulator and a cigarette lighter adapter.The next step up would be an inline FM modulator, which would require removing the radio to remove the antenna wire, which is really quite simple.If you wanna get fancy, you can install an auxilary power adapter within the dashboard to hide the adapter for the cig lighter. That's getting a tad technical, but really, it's not difficult at all with just a bit of knowledge.Let us know specifically what you're looking to do, we can help ya out.

Yeah, the roady is meant to be do-it-yourself, so it really depends on how you want it installed. IE, if you want most of the wires hidden or not.

Roady is super simple if you don't mind looking at the wires. If you decide to hide the wires it's still pretty easy, you just need to be creative. Total installation takes about 15-20 minutes if you're going the easy way, a bit longer if you're hiding the wires.If I can do it, ANYONE can do it.Hardest part of the whole thing is trying to figure out where to put the mounting bracket.And it is adaptable to work with your home system, at least it says it is. I don't know much about it, because I don't have any home system to try and hook it up to...

Yeah, XM offers a "home kit" for the roady, which basically consists of a small stand, AC adapter, modified home antenna, and a pair of RCA cables. It's not really reccomended, because taking it in and out puts a lot of stress on the connectors. If you want a unit to move back and forth, go with the SkiFi. Or, if you're looking for a unit just in the home, consider the PCR, which is a computer controlled unit.
