By matching XM Ready audio systems with this simple, elegant antenna/receiver, tuning into and listening to XM is now even easier for home audio listeners.

The Connect-and-Play antenna is a fully integrated XM receiver and antenna combination and is the only component needed to provide the full XM experience through any XM-ready home or portable audio system. Simply look for the XM-ready logo on the front of your system, and you'll be ready to tap into XM's awesome programming. With this new technology, you can simply plug an XM Connect-and-Play home antenna into any XM-ready audio product and activate the service to receive XM's 150-plus digital radio channels.

The XM Connect-and-Play is primarily an integrated antenna that contains core elements of both an XM antenna and an XM receiver in one discreet package. Supporting the antenna is a new technology platform, which creates a low-cost, standard interface for playing XM through a variety of consumer electronics products. Both elements make for an inexpensive and easy way to get XM through home and portable entertainment products.

This device makes tuning into XM radio a breeze. Setting up the Connect-and-Play antenna is easy and straightforward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonderfully in Anchorage, Alaska, February 11, 2006

This review is from: Audiovox CNP-1000 XM Satellite Radio Connect-and-Play Digital Antenna (Electronics)

XMS does not market the service in Alaska, too far north and west (plus Anchorage has a mountain range that creates a shadow). All the TV satellite dishes here point at the SE horizon.

No local retailers support XMS. I bought a Yamaha RX-797 receiver that was XMS ready. However, I was unable to buy this unit in Alaska (and many other online retailers refused to ship it to me here).

So, I ordered it from Amazon. The unit from Amazon arrived, I hooked it up, pointed it southeast (through a wall) and immediately got XMS Preview. The signal is clear as a bell.

I am a happy man!
