XM Satellite Radio FM Direct Adapter For All XM Receivers Review

I bought this after frustrating attempts to get my XM receiver to work with my car. Right out of the box, the FM modulator was next to useless as I could not get a reliable dead channel for interruption free operation of my reciever. I didn't have a cassette player, so I couldn't use that method and the auxillary ports in my cars entertainment center, just had a high pitched squeal with only occured with the XM device hooked up into it.
I tried this device upon recommendation of a friend. After removing my stereo and attempting to install it, I found that the plugs do not fit a standard GM stereo (I have a 2005 Aztek). This prompted me to run to the local Best Buy and purchase some adapter plugs (they knew exactly what I was asking for) and that set me back another $25. Upon returning home and using the plugs, everything works fine. I've got my XM finally hooked up in the car and love it. Too bad they didn't include the adapters with the kit, otherwise I'd have given it a higher rating.

Sirius XM Wireless FM Transmitter Modulator and Power Supply Review

This FM transmitter worked exactly as described in the ADs. I've seen other FM transmitters that said they worked great, but, the reviews told a different story. I hooked this up to my XM Express in my 2000 Accord, which has no cassette player. I didn't want to get inside the dash to hook up a cable. I turned everything on, found an open FM channel and heard crystal clear music. No noise, no dropping out, no hassle.
I do suggest setting up all three channels in case you drive into an area where a station overrides your transmitter. I drive 35 miles each way to work and have not had to change the channel yet. Of course, I don't live in a metropolitan area either.
It will also connect to your iPod or other MP music player. Although the sound isn't quite as clear because it's using the headphone jack for a signal. There is a model designed specifically for MP3 players.
I bought this on Amazon for $39 and is well worth the money.

Finally, a ?hardwired? modulator that anyone can install! The i2i FM Transmitter, coupled with the new USB power adapter, is an easy alternative to hardwired FM modulators like the FMDA25 Hard Wired Modulator. Unlike the hardwired modulators, which required you to remove your entire radio from the dashboard, the i2i simply plugs into your cigarette lighter adapter. It not only overrides your FM modulator but also powers your receiver. This device is the first of its kind and unlike other wireless FM modulators that sound fuzzy and have a very weak transmitter; the i2i comes with a strong transmitter that gives your Sirius Satellite Radio and strong and clean signal. If you are currently thinking of using a tape adapter or FMDA25 Hard Wired Modulator then think again! There are no wires to run with this wireless transmitter. Simply plug in and enjoy your Sirius Satellite Radio through your car stereo system! The i2i features 3 preset buttons so you can easily switch between preset frequencies should you need more than one. This device is very versatile, and is compatible with a variety of electronics including iPods, PDAs, cell phones, portable DVD players, and PSPs. It can charge cell phones and iPods as well as play sound from your DVD player through any FM radio station. This includes your portably boombox or walkman(tm)! Note: This will not play or power USB memory sticks. This unit is compatible with the following receivers: Compatible Sirius Receivers: Stiletto 10 Stiletto 100 Stiletto 2 Sportster 3 Sportster 4 Sportster 5 Starmate 3 Starmate 4 Stratus SV3 Stratus 4 Stratus 5 S50 InV InV2 Stratus 4 Stratus 5 S50 InV InV2 Conductor Sirius Connect Home Tuner Compatible XM Receivers: Roady XT SKYFi 3 Delphi MyFi Tao XM2Go AGT Sportscaster Xpress Xpress EZ Xpress R Xpress RC Pioneer Inno Pioneer XMP3 Pioneer Airware Samsung Helix Samsung Nexus

Audiovox XM XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter (Black) Review

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.

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.
