If I connect the XM radio antenna directly into the radio, it does recognize the antenna, but it will not recognize the antenna when connected thru the Sureconnect. XMserius did not mention that the XpressR radio needs additional hardware to get the Car Kit to work, if you don't have a cassette player. I ordered the sure connect, connected it per the instructions and now my radio tells me that no antenna is connected.
After installing, which was a breeze, we no longer have any problem listening to the XM stations in the car. This product is wonderful. We were having a terrible problem listening to XM radio in the car because of station interference. I bought this product after consulting with customer service at XM.
Either hard wire or use a cassette adapter While this product does somewhat do what it is designed for it is in no way even close to the same quality signal the older radios put out with their built in FM transmitters.
If it was for my personal vehicle. antenna And it fits around it. I would buy the one with the box that hooks into your antenna cable behind your radio Works good. I use it in a big truck and my radio antenna in a 08 Volvo is a C.B.
Well worth the small investment if you do not have this for your car. This worked fantastic when I moved my Express EZ from my main vehicle with auxillary input to a vehicle where I had to use the FM transmitter. connecting this up and sliding it over the antenna provided great, crackle free reception on an open FM channel.
