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.

Don't Even Think About Using FM Transmitter April 19, 2009
Anthony E. Whitaker (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

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.

A Must have for XM Receivers February 2, 2007

This is a simple install. I bought two, one for my company vehicle and one for my personal car. With all of the travelling I do, I have not had any interference or loss of reception since installing this. It's hardwired directly to your existing radio antenna, so there's no more static either. I definitely recommend this item if you are currently using an FM transmitter for your XM receiver.

exceptional reception January 11, 2009

I purchased the fm direct adapter after hearing/reading about the low signal from the xm fm modulators and this product did exactly what it is advertised to do. Installation was simple (my radio has the din pins to remove it) and it only took about 15 minutes start to finish. I have not wired in the included cigarette lighter plug yet, but that will make the installation all under the dash for the xm radio. The sound quality is good with no interference.

XM Radio FM Direct Adapter March 25, 2009

The XMFM1 adapter works as advertised.

Unless you are adept at removing your radio and possibly some of the associated instrument panels and some of the center console (if applicable), it IS a "professional" installation job. For example, in my car I had to remove my console mounted cup holder, gear shift trim panel, console trim, and finally the radio.

Works Great November 24, 2007

If you live in an area where there are a lot of radio stations then this product is a must. When you turn on your XM receiver it will automatically turn off your outside antenna. Your FM modulator will not have to fight with the other radio stations in your area and it will give you good clean sound though your FM radio.
