Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Audiovox XM XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter (Black)Customer Review: Don't Even Think About Using FM Transmitter Summary: 5 Stars
If you are installing an XM radio in your car and thinking about utilizing the XM radio's ability to broadcast music to a specific channel on your car stereo - FORGET ABOUT IT!!! Just assume you will NOT be doing it that way, and buy one of these instead. This unit doesn't require any external power hookup, won't require you to string thin fragile wires from the front of your car to the back, is fairly small and easy to install, and sends wonderful, static-free sound to your car stereo. On your XM radio, you will still have to select a specific FM channel for reception of XM music, but you won't get any static even if you select a strong local FM channel. And, if you turn your XM radio off, you will be able listen to the FM channel normally. The FM channel is only blocked out when the XM radio is turned on. Check to see if your car stereo has a non-standard antenna input that will require inexpensive adapters. My car, which has a Blaupunkt radio, required "Volkswagen style" adapters. All these do is change the shape of the plugs that connect to the car radio and antenna. Note that I say "adapters" (plural) because, if you DO have a non-standard antenna input, you will need 2 adapters: 1 to mate the Audivox plug to your non-standard car stereo antenna input, and another to mate the antenna wire that used to plug into your car stereo but now needs to plug into the Audiovox adapter. The Audiovox unit goes between your car stereo and the end of your existing antenna wire. So, you will need a standard-to-nonstandard adapter + a nonstandard-to-standard adapter.
Description of Audiovox XM XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter (Black)Lose the static and crackle by hardwiring your satellite radio directly to your vehicle?s FM radio. Features: -Connect directly to your vehicle's radio antenna: Play your satellite radio over your FM radio. -Static-free sound: Static-free audio connection for your satellite radio, hardwired directly into your vehicle's FM radio behind the dash*. -Single button switching between Satellite and FM radio: Easily switch between Satellite Radio and regular FM radio with the touch of a button. -Free up your vehicle power adapter: Hardwire your Satellite Radio's power behind the dash to free up your vehicle's power adapter for a cell phone, PDA or other device. -Compatible with almost any vehicle: Includes everything for most installations (antenna adapters may be required and are sold separately by professional installers). The Audiovox XMFM-1 FM Direct Adapter for Xpress XM7 Satellite Radio Receiver is designed expressly to turn the internal FM transmitter in Audiovox's XM7 receiver into a wired FM modulator. This unit plugs directly into the vehicle radio antenna jack in your car stereo, and connects to the XMC-10 cradle via the docking station's audio line-out jack. This is especially useful for when you are taking advantage of your XM7 XM satellite radio receiver's FM transmitter because your vehicle's car stereo does not have an audio line-in jack accessible, and you are driving through areas with strong FM radio signals that are interfering with your car's reception of the XM7's FM transmission. In order for this unit to operate, your XM7 receiver must be set to FM On in the Xpress XM user's menu.
