Audiovox XMFM1 XM SATELITTE RADIO FM Direct AdapterxToo low to display
  (16 reviews)
Best Price: Too low to display
Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.
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.

A Must have for XM Receivers
By A1HS6MYQOCEQIC on 2007-02-02
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.
Good

Increased quality of my XM Radio a lot, but still not the same as a CD.
PROFESSIONAL NEEDED!!!
By A2BUF0025FUEZS on 2007-12-28
The product works great in my car, but I didn't realize it wasn't a self install product. I did have to pay a professional to install this part. I think that there is a self install product available for the XpressRC but I bought this one by mistake. I do wish there was a FM signal sender which didn't require installation.
Performs as advertised - excellent
By A2LWWMX8JOO5XS on 2008-11-12
This item does require professional or very knowledgeable amateur mechanic to install, but does a superb job of bringing in clean, static free, no interference XM radio reception. Highly recommended!
Great product
By A32UVORM7873FP on 2007-10-10
This product works exceptionally well.
My dad travels all over the country and when he had the XM received with no adapter, he wasn't able to hold an FM station consistently without constantly changing channels. Needless to say it was very frustrating.
We purchased this FM adapter and installed it in his 2005 Dodge Ram 3500. It works great. He chose a radio station at random and has never changed it in the weeks he's been traveling. Sound is crystal clear, no more interference.
Highly recommended if you don't have a casette player or line-in/aux with your stereo system.
- Works Great
By A16UB9XJPRXNVD on 2007-11-24
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.
- Great Product
By A25E1AD8DXHKLM on 2007-12-12
This product is so good it over powers radio stations that would come in the best in my area! It is easy to self install for someone that has alittle common since. Again this product is great! No more static!!
- Works great, easy install
By A3GWX8RWSS0S0L on 2008-01-18
Minus the cigarette hardwired setup, this was fast and easy. It works great... I no longer loose the signal or have to change it. I highly recommend this. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were no instructions on how to hard wire the cigarette lighter.
- Great sound, with a small inconvenience
By A2MBGEHGUW5VIB on 2008-02-09
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.
- Did the trick!
By A7VRKGPOBKT0A on 2008-02-27
I couldn't get my radio to work and this was just what I needed. Now it works great!
- It works great!
By A18FRXN0N7CXA8 on 2008-04-01
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.
- An absolute MUST have!!
By A2I41UY3FZVX4M on 2008-05-17
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.
- Defective merchandise
By A1RWYTVTK4F2BY on 2008-07-01
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.
- Easy installation
By A1E3CZPOUU8UQQ on 2008-07-21
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!
- Works great once installed
By A1IINNL16Z6I0T on 2008-08-18
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.
