Use Samsung Nexus With A Car Radio

The Samsung NeXus, a team effort between the Samsung and Sirius XM Radio brands, is a portable XMP3 audio player that can also receive live XM Radio reception when connected to a car stereo. It can store MP3 files, WMA files and XM content. To combine it with the radio receiver of your car, you must buy an accessory car kit for your Samsung NeXus. This kit is available from the Samsung website for $59.95 (as of 2010).


Instructions


1. Mount the XM radio antennae, which comes with the car kit, to the roof or trunk of your vehicle. Route the cable and its jack into the interior of the car through available channels.


2. Insert the XM Passport and player into the car cradle.


3. Connect the AC power adapter and the antenna cable to the car cradle.


4. Find a suitable location on your dashboard or console for the swivel mount. The swivel mount's adhesive is very strong, and once mounted it may be difficult to unstick. Do not install on leather surfaces. Clean the surface you've chosen for mounting.


5. Peel the adhesive backing off the mount and press the mount against the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours to pass before touching the mount again.


6. Tune your car stereo to a frequency that is unused in your area. Set your NeXus to the same frequency.


7. Tune NeXus to XM channel 1. XM radio should now emanate from your car stereo.
