It's not wireless so there's no interference. Not to be confused with an FM transmitter. Basically it adds an AUX input to ANY radio. No searching for a clean channel.



It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch.





This is the answer. Totally versatile.

This is assuming you don't already have an FM soultion built-in to the unit. Some do.How do I install FM direct into my Honda Accord?You need to remove the factory radio and install the FM-direct adapter to the antenna plug at the rear of the radio.



To do this, you need to remove the large panel surrounding the radio. Start by removing the two screws at the bottom of the panel. Another screw secures the top of the panel, but it's hidden. To remove it, you first have to pry out the small assembly that holds the clock and hazard switch.



After all three screws are removed, you can pull the dash panel off and get to the screws that hold the radio in place.



When you get to the back of the radio, you'll see a blue wire plug with lots of wires. You shouldn't have to unplug this. If you do unplug it, you'll need to enter an anti-theft code to make your radio work again once you plug it back in. If you have the code, you can unplug the radio and remove it so you have more room. If you don't have the code, you definitely need to avoid unplugging the radio.



The antenna will look like a single, thick black wire, separate from the blue wiring plug. You can pull it right out of the back of the radio. The end that plugged into the radio will plug into the socket on your FM-direct relay. The shorter cable coming from the relay will plug back into the factory radio antenna socket. The longer wire from the relay will be routed to your Sirius tuner and plug into the "FM" jack. The relay box itself can stay behind the factory radio; you might want to mount it with adhesive tape, or use a cable tie to secure it so it won't rattle.



Sparky, the FM-direct relay mentioned in the question works the same way as the adapter you're linking, but it's better because you can select the FM frequency in the Sirius radio controls. Sirius and XM radios have FM-modulators built in; the FM-direct adapters just allow them to connect directly to the antenna plug. The FM adapters made specifically for Sirius and XM are definitely a better option than the generic FM-adapters like the one you linked.
