Customer Reviews

XMP3 Car KIt
I got the XMP3 radio for Christmas '08 ( a LOT cheaper now if you're thinking about it, and about the best Sat Radio available!) and I wanted to get the car kit for it also. I just waited a few months for the price to come down and now I have one. If you want to listen to your new XMP3 Radio in your vehicle you'll probably need this too! If you've had previous XM radio car kits this includes the same stuff, extra remote (good thing), antenna etc., except no cassette adapter this time, just a stereo to stereo adapter cable for direct input, if you have that in your car. The owners manual says that if don't have an input into your radio or are still using a cassette player stereo and don't have a cassette adapter, you need one of the two FM modulators for XM to hear it as the FM modulator capabilities are supposed to be in the base for this car kit, not in the radio. I actually got this car kit for my Gold Wing motorcycle. I already had my SkyFi2 set up on it and it was just swap it out for this base and change the power adapter for the 5 Volt XMP3. I already have the in line FM modulator on the motorcycle and it all works great. To be honest though the SkyFi2 display is easier to read in the bright sunlight, and it's a bigger display. In a car/truck the XMP3 color display would be fine though.

XMP3 Car kit
This kit contains everything you need to connect your XMP3 player to car if you have an "aux" input.

The cable that connects from cradle to my "aux" input didn't work. I had to get another one. In comparing the one with the kit to another one that I had, it seems that the plug was a tad bit longer than it should be. This enabled the connections to move past there appropriat spots in the jack.

Overall, the kit will do the job that is expected.

Priced Too High
This should come with the XMP3 unit itself. Plus, for this price, it should come with a FM modulator and cassette adapter. I used this to mount the XMP3 in a car. Good news, somehow the XMP3 knows when the car is on and off so it turns on and off accordingly. Bad news is if you use a hardwired 12V to 5V adapter, the docking station does not have diodes to keep the XMP3 batteries from back driving the adapter. It does, however work with the cigerette lighter adapter correctly. One other nit is if you hook the audio up to the cradle, the volume is very low. If you instead connect to the audio output on the XMP3, it is much higher. For this price, this product should be alot better.
