NOTE: In order to comply with a FCC ruling, Sirius has weakened the FM transmission strength in any radio manufactured after 2006. This decrease in strength may hinder your listening experience, especially if you plan on using the FM transmitter to broadcast Sirius to your radio in an area with many competing FM stations.
Please listen to the following for an example of common sound issues related to the weaker FM transmitters.
Common sound issues related to the weaker FM transmitter.
If you believe this may be an issue for you, or if you are experiencing sound quality issues with your current setup, we'd strongly recommend exploring the following options to directly connect your Sirius receiver to your car radio.
Options for improving audio quality
Good: The FM Direct Adapter

So embarrassing that the pitch will never be forgotten amongst Howard Stern fans and even amongst many mainstream sports fans whom have seen footage of the pitch. The term "Baba Booey" from that point on will now be synonmous with a horrible first pitch.Read More...

"TSS-Radio is the Alpha and Omega of all things satellite radio. The brainchild of "Tom" Taylor Mitchell, he followed a dream and within 5 years he was the proud owner of the Baba Booey ball(s) and getting hit by paintballs while strapped to a torture rack wearing nothing but a protective cup. Nowhere will you find another person/company as dedicated to all things satellite and their loyal customers."
