Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well

Kit worked as intended. Easy installation.

Horrible, but no choice with older JVC head unit.

I hate this unit. I bought this plus the CNPJVC1 to fit my JVC deck.

First of all it needs to be programmed to the particular head unit. This should be pretty straight forward, but it's far from it. The website which is listed as the site to download drivers no longer exists. So after hours of searching I found the new site voxxintl.com/xmdirect. However, the programming "ONLY" works if Microsoft Explorer is your default browser (My default browser is Firefox) Arrgg!!!! So, from the site I just provided, you must download the software packet. The rest of the programming details are listed on the website.

The connectors are very flimsy, and there is no explanation on how to make the 12V connection. After some research I found that the yellow wire + the inline fuse need to be connected to the 12v constant from the deck. The black wire should be grounded.

XM Tuner Integrates with JVC Head Unit

This tuner works well in conjunction with my JVC head unit. There are three sets of preset channels (6 stations each) with this installation. It was installed in a 2011 Honda Civic.

The instructions are quite explicit about mounting the XM satellite antenna on the top of the car, not inside or on the dashboard. My installer found a neat way to install the antenna on the roof, just above the point where the rearview mirror attaches to the windshield. The antenna is much smaller than the one on my previous 2005 Civic with factory Nav/XM unit, about 3.5cm on a side. The antenna is hardly noticeable on top of the car, even though it's in front. Reception is excellent, better than the XM in my previous car.

I couldn't get it to work.

I wound-up using a standard Sirius receiver into a four channel mixer then into the aux jack. I use the other channels for other aux channel inputs to the radio. Cool.

Works Great... just a little confussion included.

This device works great on my fancy JVC stereo. I had to read a lot to figure out how all these different adapters (HD ready, Bluetooth ready, Sat ready...etc) work.
However, the instructions are misleading. You must have 32bit Windows XP to program the adapter to match your stereo connections. The adapter cable you purchase separately is only the beginning. The order is this: 1. Go to Audiovox.com to get program and install it. 2. Connect SAT adapter and apply driver. 3. Run SAT adapter update (like firmware) that tells your adapter how your brand-name car stereo thinks. It is simple but the online instructions are a bit out of order. WinXP 64Bit will give driver errors!!! Had to whip out the ancient laptop with 32bit XP on it. But it works!

Works Great, need windows XP!!!!

First, YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS XP. XP is the only platform that works, not Vista, not 7, just XP.

With that said, the programming is simple. Install the software from the given site, open it, connect the module via given USB cable, and click on your head units info and click program. Connect the XM Module and specific cable to the Audiovox module, plug it into your head unit, activate it, and enjoy.

I had no problems with it, except the Windows XP issue, it works great, and the install was easy. Just remember to program the module before you install it.

Really average

Reception is really average. Programming it can be a pain if you're not computer savvy.

Looses signal

I have this on my Jensen head unit. Constantly have to unplug it to restet it. Not sure if it's the xm mod or the head unit with the issue.

XM Direct 2 Connector Module

The only problem that I am having for the second time is this XM Direct losing it connections with my JVC car system and I had to go back to B*** B** twice to have them reset it. The tech suggested placing a switch on the XM Direct system so in case it goes out again I can reset the sytem using he switch, but it is annoying that this is happening but it sounds great.

Poor Tech Support

When the unit arrived, it would not allow me to download the firmware from XM to make the unit work. After phone calls and transfers to Audiovox, they decided it was a defective cable and sent out a new one. Low and behold, it was the cable. Then I had to call back because my radio was so new it wasn't on the list of firmware downloads. Again, depending on which tech I spoke with, I was either out of luck and there was no way it would work, or I was told to try a random radio code. Alas, after inputing the first radio code I tried, it worked like a champ! Great product (once you get parts that work)........poor support. My rating reflects the broken product and multiple phone calls. If I was rating the product alone after I got it to work, I'd give it a 5 out of 5. A LOT of effort to make a "plug and play" system work.

Works as promised and as advertised

I received the product as promised and after installing it got it to work exactly as advertised. Works great!

Not as expected.

The unit was easy to install, however it required Windows XP to program.
I had to borrow a computer that still had XP on it to do the programming. In use it receives channel as expected. The problem I have fond is that when i turn off the Car/radio and then turn it back on the satellite tuner has jumped three stations. So,if I am listening to channel 77, whe I turn it back on it is on channel 80. To try to reprogram it i would have to borroww another computer with XP.

AWESOME

THANKS!@! FAST SHIPPING!

Good product

Works just fine with no issues.

performs as it should

i like the upgradeable firmware option, but the entire setup is just a bit of a hassle. wires, boxes, etc, etc, etc. the product does what it says it will do but a cleaner, compact more user friendly version would be nice

Don't even think about it

I bought this interface with a Jensen VM9424BT head unit. Little did I know that this is ancient XM technology. My professional installer had no way to program this unit, so I have taken on the task. I have tried to access the drivers and the Audiovox servers are always down. My Jensen plays great radio but no XM. Had i known that the new XM tuners would not work with the head unit I would have never made the purchase. AVOID THE AUDIOVOX CNP2000 AT ALL COSTS!

Worked very well

Everything when in the way it was support too and have had no problems with it so far. I will say go to the Audiovox web site before doing anything because label on the unit tells you to connect the unit via USB first then go to web site which will not work, you need to download the driver before connecting the unit or things don't work right

consumer

Product continues to work according to its planned use.
The service received from your company has been exemplary, from my first contact with your operator to your customer service representative. Thank You!

XM module is very reliable

I enjoy having the extra features. XM is a nice addition. I made the mistake of ordering the bluetooth adapter to accompany the XM (JVC BLUETOOTH ADAPTER KS-BTA200 KSBTA200 B). The XM module is very reliable and works wonderfully. Because I'm not an "install guru" I'm not able to talk about the installation.

Good Deal and item

I have enjoyed this product, connection was easy, just read and or play the disk for installation.

Hard to Install

I hired a professional installer to install my Jensen VM9424 in a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. That part went great. He wouldn't even attempt to program the Audiovox CNP2000UC XM Program Interface Adapter. He says last time he tried it took him 6 hours. I said, OK, I can do it. Can't be that hard. I've followed Audiovox' on line instructions, tried installing the driver on 32 bit and 64 bit PC's running Windows 7. I've been at it about 5 hours now, and nothing works. I'm no dummy on computers. This device is junk. If I can get it working, I'll re-review. If this is the only sat radio interface your new radio is compatible with, buy something else.

Worthless

The idea behind this device is sound. It's programmable to run a number of different head units XM capabilities, creating an all-in-one tuner. It's a nice idea.
The problem comes with programming. You MUST have a Windows PC running XP Pro that can also produce enough power to turn this thing on with USB 2.0. The tech I talked to at Audiovox said that most laptops won't do it, and despite that their packaging says XP Pro or newer, it actually only supports XP Pro, not Vista or Win7.
I finally got frustrated and am in the process of sending this product and the Sony head unit I bought with it back to Sonic Electronix (which is a shame, because I hear wonderful things about the head unit). So far Sonic has been awesome in my return process and I can't speak highly enough of their customer service. Unfortunately the same can't be said about this tuner. Don't waste your time, get a tuner that's pre-programmed for your head unit.
