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.

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.

My biggest problem with this car kit is what none of the descriptions tell you. You can't use the FM Modulator without an FM Direct kit or similar adapter. The modulator is too weak to reach you car radio reliably without it. If you're like me, and looking for a way to listen to your XMp3 through your car radio, buy the FM direct kit also.
