More details on SiriusXM’s next generation radio have leaked online this time you can thank*Zak Billmeier from Crutchfield.com
Included are numerous images and a nice writeup of features, most we already learned about thanks to an early leak by Best Buy.
According to Zak:
The Lynx may be the most exciting satellite radio ever. It’s a cool little touchscreen marvel that at times seems part-smartphone, part-DVR, part music player…but it’s really something totally new. I got a chance to see it in action at a training session recently, and came away thinking, “Wow, the Lynx takes it upon itself to make sure you’ll never, ever get bored.”
Most importantly, the Lynx lets you take your satellite radio with you. No matter where you go, it’ll keep your favorite shows right at hand — it automatically records the last five hours of your five favorite channels. When you grab it and head out the door, you’ve got enough content loaded to keep you entertained for quite a while.
You can even store MP3s on a microSDâ„¢ memory card so you’ll have your existing library on hand. You can listen to satellite radio over a Wi-Fi network, and with the help of optional accessory kits, you can listen in your car and over your home stereo system. And since you can get a satellite radio signal from coast to coast, you won’t lose your music when you’re on the road.

The Lynx gives you access to all the channels you already love — plus, with either a SiriusXM Select, Premier or All Access package, you’ll get more than 20 new XTRA CHANNELS, including:
- more commercial-free music
- more sports
- more entertainment
- SiriusXM Latino, which gives you 12+ Spanish-language channels
With a SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription, you can listen over the Internet when the Lynx is connected to a Wi-Fi network. While connected, you can view album art and even artist bios (when available) on the big color screen.
Record shows, listen later
Once the Lynx is docked or connected to the Internet, it’ll record your favorite channels using its Radio Replays feature. It can capture up to 200 hours of programming, including up to five shows at once. That way, you’ll have plenty of content to check out when you grab the Lynx and go.
Stream satellite radio with built-in Bluetooth®
Built-in Bluetooth lets you stream programming from the Lynx to a compatible device, like a car stereo, headphones, or the home dock (not included).
Gorgeous touchscreen, cool features
You can tap your way through your favorite channels on the Lynx’ large touchscreen. You can also pause, rewind, and replay live programming, plus find out what’s playing on another channel while you’re listening. ShowFinderâ„¢ lets you know when your favorite shows are scheduled — tap the screen, and you’ll get an alert when one comes on. And if you switch to one of your five favorite channels in the middle of a song, no problem — Tune Start will bring you back to the beginning so you don’t miss a thing.
