Now that your Xpress
R
is all set up, it is time to power it up. If you are using the XM
SureConnect you will need to read Step 4. If you are using the cassette adapter you are
all finished and ready to move on to activation on page 24.
Step 4: Making Your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM Radio
Your Xpress
R
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.
The factory default setting for your Xpress
R
is FM Modulator (Off) . Follow the menu
instructions to change the menu setting to FM Modulator (On) .
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 47.
5. If the audio quality is not satisfactory, you can repeat these steps by choosing an-
other frequency.
