What's great about it: Easy Install

This makes the FM modulator work much better. I am in a fringe area and was getting fuzzy signals on the FM modulator. Installing this adapter was easy and definitely improved the reception!!

Review 2 for SiriusXM FM Direct Adapter for Sirius and XM Radios
XM Direct Radio Automobile Adapter
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: We never suffer any loss of signal "ever"!
This product works beautifully! I am so very pleased with the efficiency and lack of loosing any radio signal no matter where or change in range.
Best Buy Servicemen "Jessie & Andrew" installed this device with ease without causing any damage to car or dash in just a few minutes. We were so thankful the windshied did not have to be removed for installation. We wouldn't be without this device. Our neighbor purchased only the radio (to cut corners and save on expense) but looses signal when range changes during travel. We never loose our signal!
Very pleased with the excellent service received at the Palmdale, CA location. We enjoy our XM Radio! 5 Stars and 2 Thumbs!

What's great about it: Good sound, no exposed wiring, leaves AUX input open, no interference
What's not so great: Cost of installation
Best option available to connect your Sirius radio to your stereo if A. you don't want any wires showing; B. you don't have an AUX input or don't want to occupy your AUX input, and C. you don't want interference from other radio stations when using the FM transmitter.
I wouldn't hook up a sirius any other way as my vehicle has no visible wires, sounds as good as an auxiliary hook-up, and never has interference from any other radio stations.
The installation cost was more than was quoted, which is ALWAYS the case with best buy. There's always 2 connectors they "forget" about, but well worth the price.

What's great about it: Better performance with the Sirius radio
This is a must for anyone who owns a sirius radio for the car. I installed my Sirus radio in my car and I got so much interference from other local stations trying to overpower the signal. I bought this direct adapter to hook it up directly to the car radio. so now it by passes the regular car radio antenna when the Sirius radio is on results are a much stronger signal, clearer sound with out any outside interference

What's great about it: Eliminates constant searching for empty air space
What's not so great: Should be standard with Onyx purchase, not an accessory
Purchased an XM Onyx for my father for a Christmas present. Due to area radio saturation, he could not keep listening to anything he chose. Adding this into his radio system has allowed him to use the XM as it was intended. Highly recommended for anyone using an XM Onyx, no constant need to search of open air.

What's great about it: Sound and size
My old XMFM1 died. So I upgraded to the XM Onyx. If your radio does not have an "AUX" input, you must have this adapter for your system to get the best sound. Installing the adapter was very simple. If your are not sure about taking your radio or dash area apart, Google it or check out You-Tube. I found step by step instructions and is was not too much of a hassle. Had my system all removed and installed in a hour or so. This adapter has a far better sound than the old one. No static problems at all. Make sure you locate a clear FM signal for your XM. It's the best 20 bucks you will spend for your system. Do not forget to tie up all the loose cables.

What's great about it: Simple to install, Clear sound, excellent price, long cords for large cars
This is a perfect product with an excellent price. I bought one at first and went back and got three more. It is alot better than having cords all ove the front of the car and it is very simple to install. I highly recommend this product to all SiriusXm users and I promise you wont regret the purchase!

What's great about it: It functions
What's not so great: the installation
whatever it took to install this item, the BB service department did not have 'it'. We took in a car with a functioning GPS system but no satellite radio and left with a functioning satellite radio but no working GPS system. To make a long story short, BB's insurance company is going to cover the cost for repair/replacement of our GPS system since the car dealer found that the factory installed GPS had wires attached in the wrong places and things taped together after we had the radio installed. Fortunately the insurance company that BB uses is a heck of a lot better then their service department seems to be. Buyer beware.

What's great about it: Provides clear audio for your Sirius radio, simple installation, cheap solution to radio static
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet!
I live in the Phoenix Metro area and around here you can't find an FM channel that's not receiving some sort of signal. If your car stereo doesn't have an AUX jack (like mine) then you only have three option. Rely on the built-in FM transmitter on your Sirius radio, install a whole new deck with an AUX jack or install this relay.
I chose to install the relay because there's nothing wrong with my deck and the relay only costs $30 bucks.
It made a world of difference. Now when I'm driving around town, I don't have to switch FM stations every few miles. The sound is perfect and clear in any area at any time of day.
Installation was incredibly simple. Once I got my console taken apart and removed the deck, it only took me about 5 minutes to install the unit and replace my deck. If you've ever removed a car radio before, you should be able to install this yourself. It was truly a piece of cake.
This is a great product which does exactly what is advertised. Thanks for the easy and cheap solution Sirius!

What's great about it: Easy Installation
What's not so great: Requires separate antenna cable adapter(s) specific to your car (if needed)
Other than trying to find the car radio removal procedures for my car (2005 Dodge Durango), the FM Adapter install was quite easy. I was able to find the separate cable adapters specific for my car at Fry's Electronics.
Sound quality was OK before the install. After the install, the quality is superb.
I agree with others that this FM Adapter SHOULD be included with a Sirius radio.

What's great about it: make satellite radio reception nearly perfect
What's not so great: some radios need adapters
The FM connector eliminates all outside interference and static the wireless FM system has. With the direct connect, I can set the satellite radio on one FM frequency and keep it there. I want to thank those who wrote great reviews on this product. They are all totally accurate. Some car radios will need an adapter in order to use this connector.

What's great about it: Performed better than expected, Easy to install.
What's not so great: Having to buy additional equipment after buying the high priced satelite radio setup, Should come free with the radio.
I do not know what other reviewers are talking about when they said this unit made their sound come through quieter. The volume of my satelite radio is much louder after connecting this. The sound quality is finally the way it should be. This unit should come free with the satelite radio. The amount of static and interference I dealt with prior to installing this was horrible. I almost returned my Sirius radio until I found the FM Direct unit. Now the sound comes through perfectly. I could not be happier and it took about 10 minutes to install. This is a must have even if you have a slight amount of static.
I would recommend this to a friend!
