Digital camera reviews of Audiovox XM XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter (Black)
Digital camera Review: Piss Poor
Summary: 2 Stars
Installed in my 1996 Civic to an XpressRC. Sound quality was poor. When you would switch from FM to XM the sound levels where vastly different. FM sounded normal but XM had minimal bass and treble and the overall sound volume level was lower. Every time I would switch between the two I would have to readjust or change the volume level. Very annoying. I couldnt live with it. Thankfully my Honda had a cassette unit and I was able to use the cassette that came with the XpressRC to use. The sound quality is incredible, even better then FM and there is no need to change the volume levels when switching between the two.Digital camera Review: Wish I'd know about this 3 years ago

Two problems solved in one afternoon !
No more searching for clean FM channels as I approach a big city, stations can no longer override the XM reception.
Better reception, I can put the XM antenna on top of roof instead of on hood near the truck's FM antenna.
Installation is easy IF you can get to your FM radio's wiring. Otherwise yes, you may need to pay a pro to do it. For under $5 you can get incredibly detailed model-specific instructions on getting at the radio ... [...].
Toyota pickups use standard antenna jacks so didn't require any extra adapters.
Digital camera Review: Worked fine with my car
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 2005 Volvo and I have fiber optic wires or some sort and I couldn't hook the XM portable radio (XMP3i) up with the car kit. I needed this extra boost, so to speak. And it works so well. I was told that I wouldn't get AM stations. After the installation, they were right, I didn't get my AM stations, but that was with the XMP3i hooked into the craddle. When the XMP3i is not in the craddle, you WILL get the AM stations. I'm very happy with the product. It saved me from having to return my XMP3i.Digital camera Review: Works Great

If you live in an area where there are a lot of radio stations then this product is a must. When you turn on your XM receiver it will automatically turn off your outside antenna. Your FM modulator will not have to fight with the other radio stations in your area and it will give you good clean sound though your FM radio.Digital camera 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.
