Option 4: FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) Installation

The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer . Professional
installation can help improve your Radio’s reception and significantly reduce the
visibility of wires . To learn more, check with the retailer where you bought your

Your installer will help you get set up, but if you travel away from your local
area, you will want to familiarize yourself with the section called “How To Find
