Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Audiovox XMFM1 XM SATELITTE RADIO FM Direct Adapter
Customer Review: FM Direct adapter a must.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great addition to the system. I hard-wired it in, and concealed the wiring in the center console. I also sealed the antenna to the hood with clear silicone (edges only, not the bottom) to keep it from moving and to avoid trapping water under it. The included wiring is long enough for any installation.
Because of the direct-connection to the stereo system, signal quality and sound are definitely CD-quality - and gone are the fades and radio interference that prompted the purchase. Installed for nearly a year - no complaints, no regrets.
Customer Review: exceptional reception
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the fm direct adapter after hearing/reading about the low signal from the xm fm modulators and this product did exactly what it is advertised to do. Installation was simple (my radio has the din pins to remove it) and it only took about 15 minutes start to finish. I have not wired in the included cigarette lighter plug yet, but that will make the installation all under the dash for the xm radio. The sound quality is good with no interference. Customer Review: Performs as advertised - excellent

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!Customer Review: XM Installation Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
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. With the professional installation, the sound quality for music is very good, almost CD quality. 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. All in all, I'd highly recommend making the investment in having your XM installed.Customer Review: Works great once installed

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.
