Gotta get the adapter. 
2008-01-18
You need to get the FM adapter, otherwise you'll just be upset you paid so much for this and the XM radio for poor quality radio.

Very happy with this product. The only drawback I found was that the power cable is short (about 3 feet long), but if that is not an issue, then this product does the job.
Not very compatible with newer cars 
2007-12-30
The main reason for this kit (instead of the INNO1 version) is because the FCC forced Pioneer to reduce the FM transmitter strength. This means that to get the signal to your car's antenna you have to use an extra cable that runs from the in-dash mount, OUTSIDE YOUR CAR, and is clipped directly to your car's built-in antenna.
There are problems with this approach:
1. The first time you go through an automatic car wash the clip-on cable will be stripped right off.
2. The clip-on portion only works with extremely thin "whip" style antennas. My wife's car has a short, thick "aero" style antenna (in the center of the very rear of the roof) that is totally incompatible with this kit. They don't tell you that before you buy it.
3. Who wants a cable strung through your car for passengers to trip over? Who is going to rip out dashboards and upholstery in a new car to run this underneath? Maybe a professional installer, but this kit was aimed at the home user, supposedly.
In my case I finally tried running the "sure connect" cable under the floor mats, into the back cargo area, and then ran it in a large loop around the inner edge of the rubber seal around the hatch back, leaving the clip-on tip dangling where it wasn't obvious. The only reason this kit gets two stars instead of one is that worked: the signal is strong enough to reach the external antenna without any wires going outside the car.
If you're going to use your INNO2 in a car, be warned, and you probably should save the $70 and give it to a professional installer who'll jack it into the back of your existing radio's FM input--except I bet you have to buy the kit anyway, to get the FM transmitter enabled through the cradle, don't you?
CD-INCAR2 Worthless 
2007-12-28
I was already miffed at having to purchase this product because all of the Pioneer Inno's literature touted its having a "built-in FM modulator." But, according to XM Radio tech support, the FCC prohibits the use of the FM modulator without the car kit, so it is only activated when attached to the car cradle. When I received the product, I tried it in three different vehicles, a dozen different FM stations each, and never got even the faintest XM signal to broadcast (note that I had 3-4 bars of reception during this trial). This is an awfully expensive product to perform so poorly. To make matters worse, I returned the item for a refund over THREE WEEKS ago, and have not heard a thing (even though I used Amazon's own pre-printed return shipping label and package insert label, Amazon customer support claims it cannot give me a status of this return; the only way I will know its final outcome will be when the refund posts to my credit card). Needless to say I am extremely dissatisfied both with the product and with Amazon's return processing.
Makes my Inno complete

The kit was easy to install, the FM modulator works great. I use the vent mounts and the Inno is easy to read. It's a all aroung good companion for the Inno
Car Kit Review 2008-06-26
This item is a great item, the sound is superb, much better quality than my first-generation car kit. Works well with my inno, no complaints!
Must have Kit 2008-06-15
Works very well right out of the box.I used the tape option it work flawlessly.Running the antenna wire did require some tools.
Disappointing and Terrible Accessory 2008-05-29
Too many wires! The introduction of the additional FM attenna hookup is impractical and that's all we needed for our radio ... another set of wires to connect and try to hide in the car. What an ugly mess and the instructions are useless.
If I really knew this option was necessary for better car audio clarity, I would of re-thought my purchase of an Inno XM radio. I do without the FM wire hook-up. I either listen until the FM reception goes or use my ear-plugs. Save your money.
XM Wires. 2008-04-07
Having just gotten a vehicle with XM radio it's hard to understand that this many wires are required to adapt an Inno for car use. My wife doesn't want this many wires in her car. In an age where we have Bluetooth it's pathetic to have a primitive kit like this, it's not cheap for what it is. I won't be fitting it and it's a pity I discarded the packing or else it would have gone back to the store.
Works Great 2008-02-05
Car kit works great with my inno and car radio. No problems what so ever and installation was a breeze, i hear a little static sometimes but I think that's because i didn't use the sure connect that came with the kit, just haven't had the time to install it.
