Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 Works great once installed August 18, 2008
If you're comfortable pulling the dash out of your car to attach this, then it's a great purchase. For the rest of us, make sure there's a place that will install this for you if you purchase it.. I found many places wouldn't install it unless I bought it there. I finally found a local audio store in my area that installed this and a car kit for my Inno-2 for $60. I've been really pleased with the performance since I got it, however, I've noticed I have to turn up the volume a bit more than if I was listening to the regular radio.
 Easy installation July 21, 2008
The Audiovox Car XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter was a cinch to install and preforms in a class by itself. We just took our first trip to a large city with plenty of FM Radio Stations, which usually interferred with XM, and because of the Audiovox Car XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter I was ablel to enjoy XM without all the hassel of looking for an open channel. I give the unit a two thumbs up!
 Defective merchandise July 1, 2008

Unfortunately the item was defective as received and the XM radio would not work. Luckily the folks at Best Buy (who were installing the XM radio) were nice enough to swap out the FM Direct Adapter without charging me.
An absolute MUST have!! May 17, 2008
This product was very easy to install (about 30 minutes in my Honda). I can't believe how clear the sound is compared to using the FM modulator alone. I would always get interference from other FM stations and was getting very irritated. I bought the Fm Direct today and am very very pleased. I would never consider buying an XM satellite radio unless you buy this product. All XM radios should come with this product because the XM radio is otherwise useless without it. The FM Direct does everything it says it does and you will not be let down. Truly a must have. And don't be suckered into a "Professional" install. Once you get your stereo out of the dash it is just a matter of plugging some things in and your done. Save yourself the money and DIY.
It works great! April 1, 2008
This product works great and is certainly better than using the FM transmitter mode. the sound is very clear there is never any interruption. the instructions are also very clear.
