Step 4: Making your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM radio. (Options 1 and 2)
Your Xpress
EZ
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
EZ
. Be sure all of your cables are properly connected. Turn the knob to 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, look for this screen:
Press the XM button, then turn the knob to scroll
through the frequencies. Match the frequency to
the frequency you see on your car’s FM radio.
Now you should be able to hear your Xpress
EZ
through your FM stereo. If you can’t hear any
sound please check all of your connections and be sure your XM antenna is not obstructed.

EZ
