Before You Begin
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing your XM Universal Audio Adaptor.
Compatibility
The XM Universal Audio Adaptor was designed to work with the Delphi XM Roady and Delphi XM SKYFi receivers.
This small, easy to install adaptor both supplies the required +6V of power and converts the audio signal to
work with any FM radio..
Installing the XM Roady Audio Adaptor
Insert the XM Universal Audio Adaptor into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12V power outlet. Note that some
vehicles require that the ignition switch be turned on before power is supplied to the adaptor.
Note: A RED indicator light on the adaptor signals that the adaptor is receiving 12V power from your vehicle
and will remain on during normal operation.
Insert the right angle Power connector at the end of the XM Universal Audio Adaptor cable into the “6V” plug on
the Roady or SKYFi car cradle input labeled “6V.”
Insert the right angle Audio connector at the end of the XM Universal Audio Adaptor cable into the plug on the
Roady labeled or the plug on the SKYFi car cradle identified labeled “Line Out”.
Configuring the Adaptor and Your Car’s Radio The XM Universal Audio Adaptor works by changing the XM
Satellite Radio audio output to an FM signal and thus play the sound using your vehicle’s existing FM radio. You
may experience some interference if a local FM station is broadcasting at the same frequency, so for the best
performance it is important to pick an open frequency using the following steps:
(1) Tune your existing vehicle’s radio to each of the following FM frequencies and note which one does NOT
have a current FM station on it and has the least amount of bleed over from a nearby station and then tune
your radio to that frequency. FM frequencies to sample: 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7
(2) Set the frequency you selected in (1) on the XM Universal Audio Adaptor using the two switches on the
top edge of the adaptor. First use the switch labeled “88 107” toselect either the high band (107.xMHz)
or the low band (88.xMHz). Next, use the other switch to set the exact frequency setting: xxx.1MHz, xxx.3MHz,
xxx.5MHz, and xxx.7MHz.
Note: The vehicle FM radio frequency must always be set to the same value as the XM Universal Audio Adaptor
frequency to hear the XM programming.
Auto-On/Auto-Off Feature
The XM Universal Audio Adaptor will automatically switch on when the XM Satellite Radio is turned on. The XM
Universal Audio Adaptor will also automatically switch off when the Roady or the SKYFi receivers are turned off.
Note: A GREEN indicator light on the adaptor is visible as long as there is an XM Satellite Radio signal available
from the receiver. There may be situations under normal use where the GREEN indicator light remains on for a
short period of time after the receiver is switched off.
Caution: When in highly-populated metro areas with a large number of FM stations, you may have difficulty
finding an available FM frequency on which to operate your XM Universal Audio Adaptor. This is not fault with
XM reception or with the XM Universal Audio Adaptor. In many instances your XM Universal Audio Adaptor may
override the FM broadcast signal.
