Wanted to make sure that it connects thru the radio and not the FM modulator?

Yes connects through the radio. This thing is amazing I love it. Cordless music from my phone. Hands free phone, etc.

Thhe Isimple device has two methods to connect to your radio. Method 1 is via FM modulator. The device is plugged inline with your cars antenna and when the device is turned on it blocks all other FM signals. So the audio quality is near excellent. The alternate method for the device to connect is via a auxiliary headphone port which is already on this device. Hope this answers your question.

If you have a 3.5 mm jack it connects directly to the radio. If not you will physically attach it to the antena.

The FM modulator is built in and works seamlessly for me. My factory radio has no auxiliary input. Excellent sound quality. Sill very happy with product after 2 months.

It is installed in line with the antenna line. You do need to have it in an fm station. It was the only option I had for my SRX because of the Bose and Navigation system. I now have hands free calling and can stream my music by Bluetooth to the car stereo. I am very happy with the product. As soon as you get in the car it will connect to your phone just like in any newer car with Bluetooth. I always use my own music so it is perfect. To answer your question it does work like a FM modulator but way more advanced.

I believe you are referring to the antenna. If you plan on using the am/fm tuner than leave it alone. If you NEVER want to use the am/fm tuner than cut it off.

I have only used the radio. Sorry but I can't help. I would call the manufacturer.Usually customer service at any company can walk you through the instructions.

Less than 2"; don't know what IC rated at? Large FM radio interference when it is ON.

I had the same issue with mine. Had a friend use Chirp to get it to program, but after a while it would no longer connect to that and the radio completely bricked itself. I returned mine.

Check to see if your radio has an external antenna connection, if it does plug the jack into it , if not plug the jack into the adaptor supplied and clip the other end onto the shaft closest to the tip of the radio's antenna.

I don't think so, buddy something wrong is happen with your radio may be with your antenna, you have to check that first

If the radio has an AUX port it will plug right in ti it.. There is also a cassette tape deck adapter. It can also be connected using an FM adapter. That would be my last choice. It conflicts with local FM stations.

Yes. We plugged ours in so we wouldn't have to rely on the FM it's annoying when we travel!

This is basically an "external" Aux source that plays through your FM radio. It only connects to your radio through the Antenna (AM/FM) connection. So an AUX button on your factory radio will not change to this source because you'll be using an FM station (see other answers below). Similar to adding an FM modulated aftermarket external SIRUIS radio for example.

For the direct connection to work, the radio must have a jack (like the headphone jack) marked antenna. Not all radios have this direct connection and that is why Sangean includes the clip on pictured which attaches to your radio's telescopic antenna.

That is correct. You disconnect the antenna from your head unit, plug it into the iSimple device, and plug the iSimple device into the the head unit's antenna port. This places it "inline" with the antenna. This minimizes the interference from local FM stations.

Correct, but it can also transmit audio through rca inputs if your stereo has them. FM is one of two options.

I would go to Radio Shack and ask how could connect. I don't have this problem.

Mona, I connected mine to a screw terminal on the back of my Yamaha home theater/ AM/FM receiver, the Yamaha has 2 of the screw terminals on for AM and one for Fm. We live in a rural area so I also use an Fm antenna, I can only pickup stations from Sierra Vista about 10 miles north of us.

When you set the radio back to FM or Disc !,2 etc. it should play what you've set it on.
