Crystal clear FM! satellite radio compatible

I didn't realize FM could be crystal clear but it gave my Sirius/XM the best sound I've ever heard. I'm used to some noise even with AUX connected, but this thing has no noise. This will make the channel completely silent when no sound is playing. Very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Available in black only

Definitely a must if you are a traveller.

As a truck driver, I travel all over the country. Using an extra wire in a semi-automatic really sucks because of the constant howling of the alternator. It makes perfect. Now I don't have to change channels every 75 miles because some radio station cuts out. Just set and forget. Even if this station has a broadcast, it is now disabled and only my GPS/siriusxm can broadcast. I love it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some problems

Better sound than other manufacturers

I bought another FM adapter before which required power and caused motor noise in the sound. I wasn't impressed. Then I found this device and it worked much better than my previous attempt. There is no need to connect a power adapter and the sound quality is excellent. No more engine noise and connecting the SiriusXM receiver directly to the radio offers the best sound quality I have ever heard from my satellite radio. I would recommend this adapter to anyone who wants to do the same or aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Works perfectly. If it works.

I bought the first one and it was a bit tricky to install as I had to remove the console and half of the dash to get to the antenna connector on my stereo. After the installation it worked great. The sound was significantly better than using the cassette adapter or the crappy FM transmitter on the Onyx SiriusXM receiver. However, after a little over 6 months, I started losing the AM radio signal. (YES, the Sirius radio was OFF!). After about 5-10 minutes the AM signal will return. This happened

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Some flaws

If only I had known that sooner!

So many changes to my 06 Suby. I've had a lot of static issues with the FM station and honestly the radio has never worked so well. I think the problem lies in the standard antenna. This is a must-do project and on my car I had to buy an adapter for each end, which is probably only a problem with some car brands that use weird non-universal cables. It took about 2 hours when all was said and done to rip out and reassemble my entire console. But it's worth it, the sound is just as good as if you

Pros
  • While I'm satisfied
Cons
  • There are cons

Great little receiver for your car.

I wanted to upgrade the radio in my car as it doesn't have an auxiliary input, a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, but decided against it mainly because of the problems other people have with non-real stereos . So I wanted everything to be available and not cluttered. That's why I chose the Sirius XM Onyx Plus because it has a color screen and is easy to use. I also bought an FM modulator that plugs into the built in car antenna wiring for listening to satellite radio and it works and sounds amazingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Difference in Sound Between Day and Night

If you're using the XM tuner's standard FM radio modulation capability, this direct-wired adapter will dramatically improve your sound. It's like going from flat, static radio quality to CD quality with much better separation of bass and treble. FM frequencies in your area." This reduces potential interference when you select a channel that doesn't compete with a strong signal. The old version of this adapter (Audiovox silver metal box) had a side connector for the XM antenna. The new versionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Repair

I wish I had known that a long time ago.

I have had an XM FM module in my car for a number of years. My original unit put out an FM signal sufficient to play the car stereo; I found a station that usually worked and just got used to it, the sound wasn't very good and a bit static and I had to look for other stations when I went to different places (even different areas). cities). My old block died and the new one barely caught on the radio so I searched and found this adapter. I'm amazed at how clean the signal is - I forgot XM wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Expensive

Works with a limitation

Bought a Sirius radio as a Christmas present and bought it to turn on for a slightly more professional install. While it serves its primary purpose, it's not as good as the old version Sirius had (and they've retired that model, so I don't know what they're offering now). An old model I have in one of my cars that connects to such an antenna but does not cut out normal FM signals when the Sirius radio is on. This enabled me to switch to normal radio stations on the car radio without having toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Weight
