Turning on the Audiovox
XM FM Direct Accessory
With ignition in the Accessory po-
sition, the XM FM Direct Adapter
is always on in a standby condi-
tion. When you turn on your XM
radio, the adapter will automati-
cally switch the vehicle stereo
input from your FM antenna to an
XM signal Changing the Transmitting Fre-
quency
The XM FM Direct allows you to
input the signal from your XM
radio directly into your vehicle’s
radio.
You can select the frequency on
which the broadcast is sent from
your XM radio controls in the
same manner as you would for
the wireless modulation mode.
(See your XM radio user manual
for more information.) Set your
vehicle’s radio to the same FM
frequency as the one selected for
your XM radio.
1. Connect the cable marked “TO
XM RADIO ”on the adapter into
the antenna in jack on the XM
radio.
2. Connect the cable marked “TO
FM ANT” on the adapter to the
vehicle antenna cable (optional
antenna adapter may be re-
quired).

used to connect the FM Direct to the
audio/stereo system may require an
additional antenna adapter. Some
audio/stereo systems have AM an-
tennas that require an active bias

tem. If AM reception is not restored,
try a different antenna adapter that
will allow the active bias to reach the
AM antenna. Professional installa-
tion is recommended

Adapter may be tie-wrapped to
existing wire harnesses or other
under-dash structures, or
