Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Delphi includes a cassette adapter with its Roady, Roady2, and SkyFi XM Radio packages, yet many late model vehicles don't have a cassette deck. To solve this problem, Delphi offers the SA10081-11P1 XM Universal Audio Adapter, a power cable with a built-in wireless FM transmitter, which replaces the cigarette lighter power plug that is included with your Delphi XM receiver package.

This adapter broadcasts XM direct to your car's radio (without a wired connection), and also powers the Roady or SkyFi receiver. You can choose from eight different frequencies for optimum reception in your area.

This review is from: Delphi SA10081 XM Universal Audio Adapter (Electronics)

We got our Delphi Sky-Fi unit over a year ago and intended to use it primarily in the car. Fortunately the car had come equipped with AM-FM radio with a CD & cassette player so we were able to use the Delphi radio + cassette adapter to recieve XM radio without having to buy an all new combo radio.

The cassette adapter got the XM signal to the radio, kind of, but it was too bassy and voices weren't as clear as we would have liked. But the big problem was that some XM stations, like FOX, make a lot of swooshing and whooshing between segments that are WAY LOUDER than the normal broadcast and their "radio only" commercials are much louder than the normal broadcast and you'd have to be messing with the volumn control all the time.

This little "Roadie" FM modulator is a great solution to the problems we had. With the XM signals going into the car radio now as an FM radio signal the radio's auto volumn control circuitry manages the noisey volumn blasts nicely without making things sound flat.

Music and speech are much better than before and there is one less wire to try to hide. We like this unit a lot but there is one drawback. Ours whistles for a few seconds until we back out of the garage and the radio finds the satallite.

I saw mixed reviews concerning wireless modulators, but maybe the unsatisfied customers had bought inferior products. My Delphi adapter has worked well. I wanted to try out the satellite radio system before getting anything permanently installed in my vehicle and this has really helped. It is just a bit bothersome to have to adjust the channel selector while on long trips (as vacant frequencies come and go) but that is a small hassle when compared to the convenience of being able to install my system in any car without having to rewire everything. I highly recommend this product.
