Audiovox XSN1V1 Snap In-Vehicle Radio

Product Description

The XM Snap is here. This is the most simple XM Radio receiver ever made. Now you can enjoy XM Radio service without the need to install a bunch of wires or take apart your dash. Simply plug in the XM Snap into the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle, place the antenna on the car, and tune the radio. It is that easy. The Snap comes with the new Power Connect technology which creates the best sound quality possible through FM transmission. You get great sound quality without running wires. XM Snap requires an FM Radio or Aux In capability. Use the included Aux In Cable if your vehicle has Aux In capability for best performance. XM Snap requires a cigarette lighter or power adapter socket accessible to the driver. If your vehicle does not have an accessible socket, we suggest the XM OnyX or XpressRCi radio. XM Power Connect: The newest feature to SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio is now available on the XM Snap. The revolutionary SIRIUS|XM Power Connect FM Transmitter works through your vehicle's radio with easy Do-It-Yourself Installation and a clear sound. Instead of hearing static you can enjoy the true clarity of XM radio with Power Connect. If you live in or commute to a big city like New York or other cities that have allot of radio interference.


  • Simple Installation: Plug in the XM Snap, place the antenna, and tune the radio.
  • Flexible Audio Connection Options: Use either the included Aux In Cable, or the built in PowerConnect

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Simple to Install + Excellent Sound!!!!!!, December 11, 2010

This is installed in two steps:

1) Install the antenna. This is the "hard" part. You can either put the antenna outside of the car and route inside or in the windshield/ back window. I have a four door and put the antenna on the back shelf behind the back passenger headrest and then just routed the wire. Recption has been A+ and no wires hanging out.

2) Install the unit -- This took me about 10 seconds to do. Just plug into the cigarette Lighter(2 seconds) and tune the FM Radio(8 seconds) to the right channel

Sound is excellent. I think SiriusXM figured out how to make the car electrical system a radio transmitter so the signal is super strong for my car radio to pick up on. So, no bleed over, no buzzing, no interference.

Unless you're looking for alot of bells and whistles.. this is as good as it gets and its CHEAP!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok- but not the best design, March 12, 2011
By 
David Yoder (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Audiovox XSN1V1 Snap In-Vehicle Radio (Electronics)
The good:
Small footprint
Minimal wiring required as the antenna and aux out plug into the lighter adapter
Cleaner look when installed
Cheap

The bad:
The display doesn't scroll like other XM/Sirius radios
Difficult to change channels using preset buttons
5 presets total
Menu has 2 options Audio level and ID

I had an old Sirius Sportster Replay and replaced it with the XM Snap. Having used a full sized unit in the past the things I miss are the full size display and more presets. The biggest issue with this radio I have found is that it is difficult to change the channel as the preset buttons require a firm press and the radio is only supported by the lighter adapter which allows for some movement of the radio. No complaints about the audio quality. You basically give up some functionality and usability for the small size and simple installation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice, pretty simple solution for XM in the car, December 23, 2010
This review is from: Audiovox XSN1V1 Snap In-Vehicle Radio (Electronics)
When you've been around long enough you learn that everything represents some sort of compromise.... There are few if any clear wins.

The XM Snap! provides an easy, minimal way to get XM going in your car. It is seeming the "best" solution for this in my wife's 2008 Lexus RX350 w/Nav. There were other "better" ways, e.g. $300 (aftermarket) -> $700 (dealer) bits that integrate w/the head unit, but that's wwaayyy too much to spend for XM radio (esp considering $12/mo).

If you look at reviews elsewhere for this radio you'll see that experience varies WRT its FM transmitter. In our area there are only a few "empty" FM freqs & there is a bit of hiss/static using this (and this method is a bit light in bass) but my wife is not picky. May buy & use a cassette adapter someday. The pluses are many for this small, convenient way to go.

+ low purchase price + promotions. great UI for its minimal size (category arrow buttons, presets, knob w/push scan)... Read more
