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.

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!
Thanks Best Buy for your advice purchasing this item.
What's great about it: We never suffer any loss of signal "ever"!

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: Easy Installation
What's not so great: Requires separate antenna cable adapter(s) specific to your car (if needed)

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.

I got this because I live in a big city (Atlanta) where there's a radio station on pretty much every frequency. I couldn't stand being able to use one for a couple of miles and then losing it and trying to find another. Plus the quality of the sound was kind of lacking. This little device solved both problems.
A little tricky to install, but if you know how to get to the back of your radio it's not really that difficult. Once you've got it in just set one of your defaults and you're good to go!

Install was pretty straight forward. Works better then the cassette adapter that I was using before. Better sound. Also allows music and Pandora on Iphone to be played through the radio.
