Anyone use XM Sure Connect??

[X5Dawg]

I was noticing on XM's website that they have a new wired FM modulator called the Sure Connect which places a signal transmitting ring around your vehicle's antenna. Does anyone have any experience with this device??

I know this won't work with the X bc there is no external antenna - I need a way to connect an XM receiver to my wife's SLK350 with the base crappy radio (Audio20).

Thanks!!

Hello..

I'm using the older FM Transmitter XM radio, and the signal is much improved in my 06 X5 with integrated antenna than it was in my Lexus RX which had an electric antenna.

I used a friends XM with Sure Connect today on my X5 and it worked comparably to mine, ie a little occasional static noise, but nothing really annoying.

So my observations are that it does not require an antenna with a shaft to work, and was not any better or worse than the "normal" XM FM transmitter.

Hope that helps..
