Editorial Reviews:

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.

User Comments about the Audiovox XMFM1 XM SATELITTE RADIO FM Direct Adapter

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.

The sound quality for sports and news is also much better with the professional installation, though it's still not as good as the regular FM. With the professional installation, the sound quality for music is very good, almost CD quality. What a huge difference going from using the cassette adapter for my XM radio to the professional installation with the Audiovox XMFM1 Xpress XM Satellite Radio FM Switch Box. With the adapter the sound was very thin and tinny, and there was no bass to speak of whatsoever. All in all, I'd highly recommend making the investment in having your XM installed.

I finally found a local audio store in my area that installed this and a car kit for my Inno-2 for $60. I found many places wouldn't install it unless I bought it there. 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'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.

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. The Audiovox Car XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter was a cinch to install and preforms in a class by itself. I give the unit a two thumbs up.

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.
