Xm radio Brand new xm radio plugged into music port once worked fine. Played in car after tuning with fm tuner worked fine. Brought back inside and plugged into music port absolutely no sound. Port is fine, still plays ipod. Can't get to the vehicle mode to see if fm needs turned off! Is xpressrc model. Thanks for any help. xmed out!

Yes, you can buy an FM Direct adapter that will allow you to transmit directly to your car FM tuner, but if you have an older SkyFi2, the Fm transmitter is so strong, you can sit the radio on the floor and tune your car radio to your preset XM channel, like 107.1 FM and it will work great. Go into "Menu" and pick a channel that's not used locally.

The problem is a bad tuner. Very common problem in XM and Sirius tuners. New models do not have this issue, they are built by DEI and very reliable. You can purchase a rebuilt tuner for around 50 and it will not have the same problem again. Hope this helps, check EBAY for rebuilt tuners.

Looks like my company is going to purchase a new fm radio for the company truck, I should be able to plug the xm radio into it.

Got this off the crutchfiel web site.

Item #700XMSON1 $129.98 This XM Direct 2 package includes everything you need to add XM Satellite Radio to your compatible Sony receiver: an XM Mini-Tuner, a CNP2000UC universal adapter, and a Sony connector cable. The Mini-Tuner connects to the universal adapter, then you use the connector cable to hook up the adapter to your Sony receiver.
Use your home computer to program the universal adapter for your Sony receiver — you can reprogram this adapter to work with another brand in the future. Once connected, you'll be able to change channels and see programming information on your stereo's display. You can also use the included XM Mini-Tuner with your XM-ready home receiver or in another vehicle with a compatible dock.
A computer running Windows XP and Internet Explorer is required. The unit is not compatible with Windows Vista.
Note: A subscription to XM is also required — learn about XM's programming. Satellite radio service is available only within Canada and the lower 48 states — not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories. Portable reception may vary by location.

Seem issue with the antenna cable. let me check for more updates.

Called a shop in VA and their opinion was that the tuner section of the unit failed. Cost of the part, $80. Then, labor and shipping. I can buy the new model (GT320) for about $95. I opted for buying a new unit.

try doing away with the external fm transmitter and use the one thats built in to the delphi you just go into settings and set it to a station that has no channels and tune it in

Any Radio will work with Sirius if you use the FM feature and tune your radio to 107.1

I had the same problem with all three of my Roady XTs. I posted a video with directions for solving the problem on YouTube:

Basically, you just need to have the antenna unplugged when you power up, and push menu right away, then select. Not sure why, but it worked on all of my Roady XTs. On the oldest one I had to push menu more than once. Good luck!
