Wireless FM Modulator

The ADV8SR is equipped with built-in wireless FM Modulator*, that allows you to listen to the ADV8SR audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.3, 88.5, or 88.7MHz). This feature is accessed by using the FM Select switch on the left side of the unit. Slide the FM Select switch to one of the three frequencies above that is not used or is weak in your area. Select the same frequency on the vehicle’s radio. Adjust the vehicle’s radio volume to a comfortable listening level. When the FM Modulator is not used set the FM Select switch to the OFF position.

*Note: In certain areas where there are a large number of FM radio stations (e.g. large cities, urban areas), the reception of the FM signal from the overhead pod may not be satisfactory, resulting in static, distorted sound or signal bleed thru from strong local radio stations. This is not a defect in the product, but the result of a stronger local radio station overpowering the wireless FM transmitter in your overhead pod.
