The Dock & Play satellite radio signal is seen by your car radio as just another “radio station”. The wired FM transmitter module is hidden behind your dash so you don’t see it. The optional “wired” FM transmitter module sometimes requires special antenna adapters, which we carry. It just depends on how well the wireless works in your vehicle. There is no way of knowing in advance if this wired FM transmitter module is necessary. However, now and then an auxiliary “wired” FM Transmitter module may need to be purchased and installed along with your Dock & Play satellite radio to increase its signal strength by connecting directly to your car antenna system, so your existing car radio will pick the satellite radio signal up more clearly. WIRELESS & Wired: If you are purchasing the universal dock & play SiriusXM satellite radio to add to an existing stereo system in your vehicle, it will come with a wireless FM transmitter built inside.

See the many satellite ready car video systems we sell. When adding the satellite radio SXV300vi tuner to a compatible aftermarket in-dash video deck, the satellite radio information will display on the radio’s touch screen video display – the satellite radio station, artist, album, & selection will appear together plus you can control your satellite radio through the car radio’s touch screen functions. And we can often install a satellite radio solution for you while you wait, no appointment necessary. Come in, we’ll look your vehicle over and if this is the best option for you, we’ll give you an exact quote. The price may surprise you and be much less than you’re thinking. We have many models of satellite ready car stereos on display in our showroom. If your current car radio isn’t SiriusXm ready or it doesn’t have an auxiliary audio input (see below “Auxiliary signal input”) and you want the best satellite radio reception possible, you should consider replacing your existing car radio with a new one that is SiriusXm ready. It will be controlled by your car stereo and the satellite radio information will appear automatically on your car radio display. If you already have a car stereo from Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC, Alpine, Clarion, Sony, Jensen or Dual that has the newer SiriusXm ready logo, the direct connect satellite radio tuner will work. We can add this tuner to your existing aftermarket radio as long as it’s SiriusXM ready. The direct connect option using the SXV300vi tuner and antenna has the very best sound quality and reception without fading or dropping out.
