It seems that Crutchfield has added the XACT Xtr5 ReGo to their product listing with a release date expected on June 3rd, 2005. This is a little sooner than the Father’s Day release date I was told - but close enough for me.

All the previous specs I released are also pretty much on the money. Here’s the highlights for you lazy people out there:

1. ReGo Base Unit Cost: $279.99
2. The ReGo radio itself comes with accessories for the car. You want it to be wearable, or use it at home, you need to buy separate kits.
3. Xact ReGo (XS043) Wearable Kit Cost: $99.99
4. Wearable Kit includes a clip-on lithium polymer battery rechargeable battery, headphones with an integrated antenna, AC power adapter, and belt clip.
5. Wearable Kit has a built-in antenna on the headphones, so you’re sure to pick up all the ladies.
6. Home Kit Cost: $79.99
7. Home Kit includes desktop cradle, indoor/outdoor antenna, amplified speaker, audio cable, and power adapter.

All prices are based on what Crutchfield is charging, so I’m sure there will be places where you can get the Xact ReGo cheaper.

The only slightly confusing thing I’m seeing is the line item listing:

“MP3 accessories included: lithium-polymer rechargeable battery, 32MB Trans Flash card, earphones”

I’m not really sure what the difference between the Base Unit’s rechargeable battery, and the wearable kit’s rechargeable battery is. Is it the “clip-on” part?

I’ll be bugging the folks over at Xact for some more details. For now, enjoy this latest hi-res picture of the ReGo on the carkit suction-cup mount. You can put your name on a list to preorder it for $275 - cheapest price so far.
