From pics on web seems to be unplug from radio, plug into modulator &amp; then plug that into radio. Right? Any cutting?

I have exactly the same problem with my radio, which basically renders it USELESS in my area. They should warn customers before hand that this is the situation. Send it back for a refund if you can.

I am no expert since I had radio only a short time but as I recall there is a small slide switch on the right hand side of radio...you are correct in that it is difficult to locate on/off switch

I just plugged it in and turned on the radio and it works fine! No problem.

Hi John, I do not care for this device. It does act weird. I think you are to hold the on/off button down a few seconds. My Bluetooth part of the radio never worked. I actually don't even use this device.

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

The instruction manual sucked as far as how to really use it. I think maybe you have click the buttons simultaneously which chance it from MP3 mode to radio mode...and if the radio isn't tuned into a station it will be silent. Just have to play with the buttons, holding them own for 3 to 15 seconds. look for a blink when you do it.

When you first cut it on it will say music, press the big middle button and it will change. Pay attention to the settings so you will get the fm setting. Hope this helps

I never tried to do that. It charges from a USB port, which means I am near my computer and other sound sources. I was not impressed with the radio overall.

You are undoubtedly using an FM modulator (possibly one made by Belkin) They are complete junk. To get good sound you need either a direct connection to the radio (through RCA jacks in back on some radios) or you need the type of FM modulator that connects directly to the antenna at the back of the radio. Talk to the guys at Radio Shack.

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

Bryan, I'm not an expert at any of this. Only once did I have any problem of this type. It came aboutafter I had re-set my wieless modem. I un plugged my radio for awhile and went back to defaultsettings . It found the signal and no problems since. I would check into the signal you are getting. ( if wireless) I'm still very pleased with this radio. It appears you are getting about the same advice Ted

Did you connect the powered transmitter that plugs into the (wired) remote cable on the back of the radio. It appears the wireless transmitter has its own powered receiver which plugs into the existing connector for the wired remote (on the back of the radio) and if I remember correctly it was powered(12V). There was no link or pairing to perform it simply worked.

The Radio that I have has a plug in antenna connector that seems to be like a headphone jack(8mm I think?),the radio comes with a roll up antenna that kinda works,but you could download the details/instructions off the Sony site probably?in fact there are also amplified antenna's out there,but that might amplify noise also?Check out some of the radio equipment sites for accesories,I've seen that some of these guys make their own antennas with just a copper wire streached out in the backyard with a connector soldered on,maybe Radio Shack or Universal Radio can help?I seem to get along with what came with the radio or I'm just to lazy to order and install a real antenna,haha!Good luck and happy listening,this is an awesome radio in this price group!

Hi Caroline, This product was horrible. I have since discarded it. Maybe I just got a bad one but it wasn't worth the effort to try another one. I tryed it with a couple of radios with the same result. It would play for a minute or two then make a loud noise and cut out and did this over and over. Don

It is very simple as this device is a radio, just manufactured to scan and sublimated / imprinted as a spirit box (I have thought of making these myself with overseas manufacturing). Just press a button one at a time go to go to a station channel that isn't broadcasting. I have pressed a button to get on a broadcasting and then non broadcasting radio channels without a problem.I hope I have fully answered your question my new friend.Ave Satanas!!!So as you can see, there is no reason to modify the spirit box as it is a simple push of the button that starts and stops the 'sweeping'.

No, it does not need to be plugged into your computer. It does work off wireless internet access. If your work has WiFi then the radio should work just fine.
