Step 4: Making Your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM Radio
Your Xpress EZ contains a built-in FM modulator that requires the use of either the XM
SureConnect (sold separately) or the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) to transmit the
XM audio signal to your vehicle’s FM radio.
First, turn on your car stereo. You will need to find a suitable FM frequency in order to
get the best sound. A suitable FM frequency is an unused frequency or weak station
that is not located near a strong FM station in your area. Follow the steps below for
more help:
1. Go to www.xmradio.com/fmlocator for recommended FM frequencies in your area.
2. Enter your local USPS Zip Code.
3. You will see the recommended FM frequencies in your area. Try the “vacant” chan-
nels first.
4. Set your vehicle’s FM radio to one of the recommended frequencies. Now set your
XM receiver to the same frequency using the menu settings. For more information,
see FM Frequency on page 24.
5. If the audio quality is not satisfactory, you can repeat these steps by choosing an-
other frequency.
You will see a chart that looks like this:
