Rocking the stileto back in 2010

It was five+ hours. Then we had wrap up show. A fully staffed H100 news team. We had it so good.

[u/gringoentj → u/TomPrince]

The Stiletto was a bit of a stumble. You should have spent your money on a Zune instead.

[u/Comicus70 → u/CowTipper383]

Stillesto was built on a Radio Shack chassis du

[u/Blackoutreddit2023 → u/CowTipper383]

Zune was one of the best tech products ever. Used to dlo he show every day, tag it as a podcast and listen on my zune. Even when I had Sirius.

[u/Dom2133344 → u/Blackoutreddit2023]

It was cool, but had a clunky interface. That along with it was going up against the biggest music product ever made led to it's downfall. But I cannot deny it wasn't a beautiful looking device.

Same experience here. Those were the days.

[u/SouthWilshire]

I bet seeing that text on the stiletto brings back memories for a lot of the guys here.

[u/RavenReel → u/SouthWilshire]

My truck is still almost the same as that

[u/mmps901]

Mine used to overheat all the time

[u/WyattPrevlij]

"THE STILETTO SUCKS! THE WHOLE THING WAS BUILT ON A ZUNE CHASSIS!"

[u/KchKchKchKch]

Shame Imus ii decided he wanted to pocket her salary and the entire news team from the overall Sirius budget

[u/gringoentj → u/KchKchKchKch]

and that’s just some of the news we are working on.

[u/2stinkynugget → u/gringoentj]

Steve Langford has a huge penis.

[u/TotallyFarcicalCall]

Fuckin thing SUCKS!

[u/YodaFan465]

What’m I s’posed t’ dooooooooooo?

[u/cornholio427]

Bought it for the 100 hours of data only to find out that 50% couldn’t be used because you could rewind live. The whole I punched through my closet door still exists

[u/preemptive_strike87 → u/cornholio427]

Do you fight suits as well?

[u/BigCopperPipe]

I had one of the basic radios. After my purchase I brought it to shop a Sirius recommended shop to have it installed free of charge to me. I actually thought about buying the stiletto also. A couple of guys on the jobsite had Sirius radios too. After a year or two after he made the move I never heard Howard on a construction site again. I held on till Covid.

[u/jboogie81]

Had the Stiletto, then the stiletto 2. Those were the days.

[u/smeepydreams]

I had, and still have somewhere, the old plug-n-play Starmate ST2. I would set it on a Velcro stand in my car on the way to work, have it on all day at work with another antenna, and bring it back home in the car. For years. When it would die I’d buy another ST2 off eBay because newer ones had shittier reception. The golden years.

[u/Americasycho]

Sirius Sportster FTW

[u/stlthy1]

I still have mine.

[u/RavenReel]

I always wanted one and then 200GB phone packages were the same price as 500MB.

Do they still work?

[u/reo_reborn]

I always wanted one for these. Sadly I live in the UK and they don't work over here.

[u/gummoplayer]

I spend 1000 of dollars on all these.

[u/Ash-Throwaway-816]

I have one but the battery on it is pretty much dead (only holds a charge for like 10 minutes). Does anyone know where I could potentially get a replacement battery.

[u/mizary1 → u/Ash-Throwaway-816]

You would have to get someone to crack open the battery and replace the cells. If you paid for someone to do this it would be expensive. If you are handy with a soldering iron and a Dremel you could probably do it yourself. You could also crudely solder a connector to the terminals and use a battery just velcroed to the back. None of these options sound worthwhile. I think I tossed mine a few years ago. Kinda wish I'd kept it.

Looks like there are 3rd party replacements out there. But I bet they are all 20yrs old and won't be much better.

[u/Ash-Throwaway-816 → u/mizary1]

Yeah that's what has discouraged me from getting one on ebay or something. I may also try the battery velcro method you mentioned.

[u/Vic_Vega_MrB]

I had one of those back in the day.. damn. Did they hate the Vegas heat.

[u/jeffyboy526]

POS. Did you get it for Christmas from Howard.
