A very good product, and pretty easy to install.Aug 11, 2006
By Alfredo Fierro
Rule one: If you are going to buy the Smart Adapter you also have to buy the XM universal tuner box regardless of what brand of car or system maker that you have. They should really try to sell these two parts together because if you have one and not the other it wont work. In this case, im commenting on the Pioneer version of the Terk box.
Rule #2: You need an SAT compatible or XM radio branded compatible car stereo for it to work also. And most people's car stereos aren't SAT or XM ready, or prepare to throw down about 150.00 to 500.00 for a decent stereo because the sound quality of these two product (both boxes) combined is really worth the money that you are paying. Some thing to keep in mind is how many text lines the stereo has to read so that you don't need to keep hitting a button to read all of the text that XM puts on their decks, another great thing about the service. The more money you spend, the more lines of text you can recieve at one time and its eaiser to use.
General thoughts: When you get all three parts together the sound quality is near CD quality. Its crystal clear and I would know having another XM radio that I use inside of my house and another car that I have. There is a pretty big difference by having it directly ran through your car stereo or big rig as opposed to having it ran through a tuner as the Roady XT. The quality of the sounds is better than good FM reception and the only downside is when you are travling next to tall buildings in a downtown or driving through National parks such as Yosemite. No radio signal is going to travel through block of granite no matter what you conect to your car stereo.
While the instructions say that you should have it installed professionally the company gives you installation insturctions inside of the box. As long as you can get the dashboard apart and locate the power to the stereo and have a place to put the two boxes (maybe one in the glovebox and one behind the stereo itself), and of course install the antenna you shoudln't have a problem hooking this thing up. And after that call don't forget to XM radio to activate it and it will be up and running.

Works as advertisedApr 26, 2009
By Cameron Vetter
Connected my Pioneer head unit to my XM with no problem, much cheaper alternative to buying the pioneer version.
works great with 2012 pioneer radioMar 20, 2012
By jimmy B
I was surprised to see that this unit still works great with my 2012 pioneer DEH-p8400bh.Excellent!! For the price it cannot be beat. i was able to use my old Terk XM commander with lifetime subscription with this smart box. one thing is the xm commander already has a power supply so you dont need to hook up the power to the adaptor or your radio wont turn off, I learned this the hard way. Highhly reccomend.
