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.

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.

Nice Alarm!

Very nice alarm. Very easy to use. Haven't really put the range on it to a test but so far its been good. Only thing is I dropped it coming out of my car and the battery door broke a clip so the door is loose. Was a hard drop too.

Great value and great alarm

The product was really cheap and really easy to install. This is probably my third purchase of the aps997c. Really great alarm and remote start system. Very easy to install depending on vehicle. Sonicelectronix always has the best products at great prices.

AWESOME

THANKS!@! FAST SHIPPING!

Good Looking Out

The Prestige APS997C is the best product at ever ordered online yes I recommend this to everybody

Nice system at a good price

I like this system because it has so many cool options. It is easy to learn to use and works every time. I will continue to recommend these to clients and install them.

Great value and convenience

Is easy to use the range of distance is very good and its LCD displays all functions.

Good product

Works just fine with no issues.

Great alarm and great sense of security.

This is a great alarm. My boyfriend recommended this alarm because he & his whole car club have it installed in their vehicles. What's been a gift and a curse is that its very sensitive but that can be adjusted to your liking by your installer. Other than that it's been very reliable.

great value

great product to buy just finish instalin minds was worth it for the money

great value

Works great. Range for auto start is excellent. I would recommend this product to a family member or friend

Great pager/ remote start / alarm combo.

This piece has tons of features and looks great. Has all the auxiliary outputs you could ever need and is very reliable. I've used prestige before many times and will continue to keep buying them. The remotes look very nice and seem well-built. The alarm was easy to install ( if you know how to install remote starts) in a 2010 Tahoe and worked good with the idatalink ads al-ca. Module in data to data mode. It's definitely an alternative to the More expensive dei brands.

Great product

I recommend this product to all my friends, its easy to use and once installed properly you definitely feel secure with this product. I suggest all my friend to test it out and they wont be disappointed.

Alarm

Brain was bad. Power lock loses connection often and I can sleep through the alarm when it's going off. But the sensitivity and actual alarm works perfectly and all the time.

Great deal!

Great product easy install! Own two and would buy again!
