Background

When released on October 2nd, 2001, the Sirius S50-EX1 executive system was an add-on to the popular S50-EX1 portable satellite radio that allowed it to be docked for use of the built in 2-way speakers and an attached exterior antenna. Additionally, the attached remote gave the user increased range of manipulation, and the ability to change channels and volume. It came only in black, weighing a little over 6 pounds, and is sizeable at 20 x 9 x 5 inches. The Executive system has no known recalls or manufacturing defects. However, given the product is over 22 years old, it is likely that some issue will have arisen in a unit that has been used since it was released.
