I got xm about a month ago, and finally tried to turn on a local station and nothing happened. I got a fm modulator but would love to get a direct line in. Do I have that ablility?? Or am I gonna have to get something to get regular fm stations??

 

get something to get regular fm stations

 

I'm trying to understand.. but not sure.. you have an fm modulated xm tuner plugged into your head unit, and now can't recieve regular fm stations?? Can I suggest something simple and dumb.. make sure the xm unit is turned off (the fm modulator) when you're trying to tune in fm stations. I know on my sirius fm modulator, when it's on, it makes the head unit not pick up any fm signals besides the station the fm modulator is set to. If that's not what you're asking, or that doesn't help.. sorry..

and as to you being able to get a direct line in for the xm.. depends on the brand.. some make aux adaptors you can use if you have an rca in on the back of the headunit.. but some don't have any aux adaptors..

hope something in there helped..

Yeah, it hooked up through the fm moduator.......It back at the body shop, so I can't check it, but I think I tried the power off on the XM.
Sorry, I should have been more specific....too many beers.....Stock head unit, on a 03 Max, Delphi reciever, question is are they not XM ready? or am I just going to have to get a new head unit for direct imputs?

Thanks
