Delphi XM FM Direct Accessory Set-up
Your FM Direct Accessory contains the following components:
Turning on the
XM FM Direct Accessory
With ignition in the accessory
position, the Delphi XM FM Direct
Accessory is always on in a
standby condition. When you
turn on your Roady2 or SKYFi2,
the accessory will automatically
switch the vehicle stereo input
from your FM antenna to an
XM signal.

1. Connect the antenna cable leading
from the accessory into the
antenna-in jack.
2. Connect the vehicle antenna
cable lead from the accessory
with vehicle antenna cable
(adaptor may be required).
3. Connect the vehicle radio cable
lead with the vehicle radio cable
(adaptor may be required).
4. Connect the XM Antenna into
the jack located on the side of
the accessory.
5. Your XM FM Direct Accessory can
be powered by connecting the
6V power adaptor with either an
existing cigarette lighter, or for a
more attractive installation the
power socket (included) may be
wired directly to the vehicle’s power
system. In that case, professional
installation is recommended.
Note: The FM antenna connector used to connect
the FM modulator to the audio/stereo system may
require an additional adaptor. Some audio/stereo
systems have AM antennas that require an active
bias from your vehicle’s audio/stereo system. If AM
reception is not restored, try a different adaptor
that will allow the active bias to reach the AM
antenna. Professional installation is recommended.
The Delphi XM FM Direct Accessory
may be tie wrapped to existing wire
harnesses or other under-dash
structures, or placed under a seat.
The accessory should be constrained
in some way to help prevent it from
causing annoying rattles or other
noise and/or chafing.
Changing the Transmitting
Frequency
The Delphi XM FM Direct
Accessory allows you to change
the XM Satellite Radio broadcast
signal to an FM frequency and
input the broadcast directly into
your vehicle’s radio antenna cable.
You can select the frequency on
which the broadcast is sent from
your Roady2 or SKYFi2 controls
in the same manner as you would
for the wireless modulation
mode. (See your Roady2 or
SKYFi2 user manual for more
information.) Set your vehicle
radio to the same FM frequency
as the one selected for the
Delphi XM FM Direct Accessory.
