Fixing SIRIUS XM Static Problems
Strong FM Transmitter |
|
|
Strong FM Transmission gave you the ability to send and FM signal to any FM radio within a radius of no less than yards. All that's needed is an antenna and power cord and then matching the FM frequency on your satellite radio to your FM Radio. No audio cables; No FM Direct Adapters. It's a really easy solution and we wish it were still an option radios still shipped with but, sadly, it isn't. We do have a few SIRIUS One radios with strong FM transmission. |

The added benefit of the Whole House FM Transmitter is that you can connect it to any audio source and send that audio to any FM Radio.

FM Direct Adapter |
FM Direct Adapter |

The FM Direct Adapter is an option for connecting your satellite radio directly to your vehicles FM Antenna. By hardwiring your satellite radio to your vehicles FM antenna input, you are overriding any competing FM signals from radio stations in your area. This was a solution for many satellite radios after the discontinuation of strong FM radios and before PowerConnect, though it is still an option with PowerConnect radios. While this solution is compatible with 95% of the cars out there, you might need an additional set of adapter cables for your car. Click here for the FM Direct Adapter.

PowerConnect Power Adapter/Cradle |
|
PowerConnect is the name of a technology that sends an FM Signal through the Cigarette Lighter Power adapter. You can imagine this as turning your entire vehicle into the FM antenna for your satellite radio which in turn makes it easy for your vehicle's FM radio to pick up the signal. There are two important considerations when using PowerConnect:
The easiest way to see if your radio supports PowerConnect is to check its dock and Power Adapter. If there is a red ring around the 'PWR' port and a red ring on the tip of the power adapter that plugs into the dock then it is capable of PowerConnect. Below is an example.
As always, it's VERY IMPORTANT to check compatibility between your radio and a PowerConnect dock.

The FM Wire works on any dock with an FM out. The other options on this page will usually offer much better sound quality, though it has been reported to work well in some situations. |
