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…. More >>

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.

I think this is the best item for XM radio in-car accesory because when you just installed you will forget all about local radio stations.

Installed in my 1996 Civic to an XpressRC. Sound quality was poor. When you would switch from FM to XM the sound levels where vastly different. FM sounded normal but XM had minimal bass and treble and the overall sound volume level was lower. Every time I would switch between the two I would have to readjust or change the volume level. Very annoying. I couldnt live with it. Thankfully my Honda had a cassette unit and I was able to use the cassette that came with the XpressRC to use. The sound quality is incredible, even better then FM and there is no need to change the volume levels when switching between the two.

I couldn’t get my radio to work and this was just what I needed. Now it works great!

The direct connection provides crystal clear sound from my XM tuner and couldn’t be better.
One thing I didn’t realize until after I got it installed was that when the XM radio is on, the direct connection switches off my car radio antenna. So if I want to switch from listening to XM to my regular radio, I can’t hear some of my favorite over-the-air radio stations unless I turn my XM tuner off (which takes a few seconds).
If you switch between XM and the regular radio very often, you may want to think about it before going with this option.
