Audiovox's latest car-only XM satellite radio incorporates a programmable adapter and the XM Mini-Tuner. Once the adapter and Mini-Tuner are connected, you'll be able to change channels and see programming information on your stereo's display. You can also use the compact XM Mini-Tuner with your XM-ready home receiver or in another vehicle with a compatible dock.

Before installation, this unit must first be programmed by connecting it to a computer running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer, and downloading protocol software for the in-dash receiver from the XMDirect2 web site.

You can reprogram the adapter if you purchase a different receiver. Then, you'll need to purchase a brand-specific cable that connects the adapter to your receiver.
