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 included XM Sure-
Connect or the optional FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) to transmit the XM audio signal to your
vehicle’s FM radio.
First, 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.
Next, power on your Xpress
R
. Be sure all of your cables are properly connected. Go to channel 1, this
is the preview channel. You will not hear any sound through your car stereo until you have chosen
an FM Frequency.
Press
Menu
FM Modulator
FM Frequency
.
Match the frequency to the frequency you see on
your car’s FM radio

Now you should be able to hear your Xpress

please check all of your connections and be sure your XM antenna is not obstructed
