I bought a fmdirect adapter to use in my 2007 Ford f150 for my Sirius XM radio only to discover the newer trucks don't use the normal fittings for the radio antenna so now I need to know how to fix this.

I bought the Direct Relay because I regularly travel to both Indianapolis and Chicago for work, and in both cities even the "clear" channels have a lot of static when using the built in FM transmitter on the Sportster 5. I tried to make an appointment for professional installation at Best Buy, but after finding out it would be several days before my local store could get me an appointment, I decided to try it myself. At first I was a bit intimidated because I know nothing about car stereos, but installation turned out to be very simple and only took a few minutes. Simply remove your car's stereo from the dash (you can find instructions by doing a Google search) and attach the adapter into the antenna jack. Then plug the wire into your Sirius radio and put your car stereo back into place. Never have static again. On Friday I took my first trip to Chicago since installing it and was 100% static free. And I'd never realized how much static I was picking up even around home that I hadn't heard before.
The one negative, even though it isn't a huge deal is the tenancy for channels to sound "quiet" which isn't a big problem to me, but might be a problem if you like listening to your music loud.
What's great about it: Easy set up, great sound quality

It set up quickly in my truck but i had to buy another 30 bucks in adapters to make the antennae work for my 99 s10. It works perfectly and never skips a beat but wouldn't recommend using in an older model gm unless you upgrade radios.

This little adapter helped a lot, I do not longer have the big cable running in my car to enjoy my Sirius XM, when i had the cables it bothered me, now it looks good and we have room to use the adapter for other stuff, like a cell charger...

The installation was quick and it looks great in my car, but it was an annoyance to have to pay extra for this piece. Also my AM radio will not work if the satellite is turned on. I am not sure if this is due to the adapter or an error in installation.
Don't get it unless you absolutely need it.

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.
