   Great product, did what it suppose to do. I have the old xm antenna (dual input) I bought in 2002 and wanted to replace the large shark like xm antenna with the micro xm antenna (single input). no problem so far.

   This product does work to split an XM signal to two receivers. In my case I have a receiver, and a Delphi wireless repeater to allow XM in a bad reception area of my house. I can listen to both at the same time no problem.

   This item worked just as advertised. If you need one, buy this.

   The primary benifit to me is the ability to easily connect to a speaker system or stereo. As others have mentioned, you can connect to your home stereo with the included RCA/phono cable but there is also another audio cable with small 1/8"(?) stereo phono plugs which allows connection to PC type speaker systems. You can connect your computer audio output to the line input on the dock and use the line out from the dock to plug into your powered computer speakers and use your computer speakers to listen to the Stiletto2 in addition to your computer audio. The 21 foot antenna wire is great to mount the antenna outside or near a widow so you can improve indoor reception. Before this we could only receive indoors using the Wi-Fi, but that only provides limited functionality. Now we can get full use of Sirius listening indoors with the Stiletto2 and not have to use headphones. Some have complained that there is no FM transnitter but that is not a big deal for me. On the negative side...it seems curious that the volume control on the remote only adjust levels on the headphones plugged into the dock. When using headphones (unless they are wireless), you would be near a volume control either on your radio, the amp or the headphones themselves. But if you are using speakers you are more likely to be farther away and have more need of a remote when wanting to adjust the volume. The mute on the remote does work so at least you can totally kill the sound if needed though it is nessesary to make all other level adjustments at the amp...even the volume control on the radio itself is disabled when plugged into the dock. I intend to see if there is a way which would let me connect some powered speakers into the dock's (standard phono) headphone jack and let me control the volume through that. Dispite those annoyances, all in all this makes the radio much more useful and I would not want to be without it.

   Need a home dock for your Siruis Stiletto 2? Then look no further because this is the only choice you have.

   Not sure what the other reviewer was attempting to connect to. The docking kit is made to connect to the RCA inputs on your home stereo system. If you intend to connect it to a radio that does not have RCA inputs, then I agree it would just be a fancy charger at this point. Easy to set up, however you might need an antenna extension if you do not have a window near by.

   This worked fantastic when I moved my Express EZ from my main vehicle with auxillary input to a vehicle where I had to use the FM transmitter. connecting this up and sliding it over the antenna provided great, crackle free reception on an open FM channel. Well worth the small investment if you do not have this for your car.

   From previous reviews, glad I got this for the XM. Easy to install and the reception is clear. I didn't use the adhesive they provided but used some sticky electrical tape. That way I can remove it when I want.

   I have 2 after market XM radios, 1 in my car and 1 in my wife's car. The radio transmits on an FM frequency and the quality received by the car stereo is poor at best. After troubleshooting with XM, they claimed I was supposed to receive this SureConnect free when I purchased the radio. I did not and they were not about to replace the one I did not receive. Since my Delphi Roady XT was completely worthless without, I decided to buy the SureConnect. It is very easy to install and really improves the quality. I cannot believe how good the XM sounds over an FM frequency now that I have SureConnect. XM customer service is impossible to work with. They charge $10 for the same product, but $13 for the cheapest shipping option. I reccommend buying from Amazon.

   I have used this unit for over a year with outstanding results. The transmitter is located in a pool cabana and the receivers are in the home some 50-80' away. I get perfect reception on all channels. No fading or loss of signal. This unit works as it is advertised.

   I received this as a Christmas gift. I intended to put the antenna in one room and the radio in another. When I first connected everything, all of the components were in the same room. The signal faded in and out. I tried moving the antenna but nothing changed. I tried all of the positions on the switch on the back of the transmitter unit. Still didn't help. I called Delphi support who told me to send the unit back. I did. I received it back and it still has the same problem. The transmitter and receiver are in teh same room no more than 12 feet apart in direct line of sight with each other and the signal still fades. If I hook the antenna directly to the radio it works great. I highly recommend that you don't throw away your receipt if you but one of these units!

   Works perfect. What else do you need to know. I live in a forest and this allowed me to place the antenna in any window in the house to find reception and as a bonus, there are no wires (except to an outlet). Clean and functional.

   I got a Sirius radio for Christmas last year and originally installed it with the FM antenna. I really like the radio and the service, but since I drive around a lot for my job I was constantly messing around with my tuner trying to find the best reception. I bought the direct FM relay package in hopes of solving that problem, and it works wonders. Set the Sirius receiver to any station you want and it will override the FM signal from the strongest station with great sound quality. If for some crazy reason you tire of listening to Sirius, just turn the receiver off and your FM service resumes without missing a beat. All in all a great buy that I wish I had thought of when I first got the radio.

   this is the best thing sirus came up with no stactic what so ever, clear all the time, no need to hunt for radio stations! great product

   This item does what it says. I installed it between my Sirius Stiletto and my car stero. By having the "direct wired" connection (this item) it reduces virtually 99.99% of any FM static used when broadcasting via the FM remote to your car stero. I installed it myself - no problems. HIghly recommend to anyone using an "unwired" sirius product using the FM transmit mode.

   The Audiovox Car XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter was a cinch to install and preforms in a class by itself. We just took our first trip to a large city with plenty of FM Radio Stations, which usually interferred with XM, and because of the Audiovox Car XMFM1 FM Direct Adapter I was ablel to enjoy XM without all the hassel of looking for an open channel. I give the unit a two thumbs up!

   Unfortunately the item was defective as received and the XM radio would not work. Luckily the folks at Best Buy (who were installing the XM radio) were nice enough to swap out the FM Direct Adapter without charging me.

   This product was very easy to install (about 30 minutes in my Honda). I can't believe how clear the sound is compared to using the FM modulator alone. I would always get interference from other FM stations and was getting very irritated. I bought the Fm Direct today and am very very pleased. I would never consider buying an XM satellite radio unless you buy this product. All XM radios should come with this product because the XM radio is otherwise useless without it. The FM Direct does everything it says it does and you will not be let down. Truly a must have. And don't be suckered into a "Professional" install. Once you get your stereo out of the dash it is just a matter of plugging some things in and your done. Save yourself the money and DIY.

   The combiner worked OK. Be sure to follow hookup instructions carefully. The only complaint is in the DC power connector from the transformer that connects to the receiver unit. The connector does not snap in and falls out easily. I had to secure it by other methods. If not for the connector problem I would have given it 4 stars. The system is a great, reasonably priced solution for shorted sighted prewires.

   I was leaving DISH TV but wanted to keep Sirius radio so I invested in a receiver and wanted to get good reception so since I already had a pole from where I took down my DISH and coax running to my receiver in my living room I purchased this combiner /splitter and I must tell you it works like a CHARM! (however the first time we tried it nothing worked then I realized that I had to plug in the inside the house splitter and WOW) I have full power constantly and great sounding stereo through my surrond receiver. All this though my existing coax that I had used for my DISH TV receiver.

   Worked without any major problems. One small issue is that the small cable came out it the connecter and neeeded to be crimped. Most importantly, it also works with the new HD 5 LNB Directv dish.
