Date Published: 11/17/06
The XM Mini-Tuner (formerly the Passport) may not look like much, but this tiny unit will change the way you listen to satellite radio. The diminutive Mini-Tuner contains a complete XM tuner, and its ultra-portable design lets you bring satellite radio to any playback device utilizing XM's Connect and Play interface. All you need is one subscription, and your Mini-Tuner can potentially function everywhere.
The Mini-Tuner is designed to plug into any playback system equipped with a Connect and Play interface, so with the one tuner, you can listen to XM in your home, car, portable audio device and elsewhere. As of 2006, participating manufacturers included Sony, Pioneer, JVC, Denon, Samsung, LG Electronics, Onkyo, Yamaha, Marantz, Audiovox, Polk Audio and others, and you can expect the number of manufacturers and categories of products supporting Connect and Play to increase.
Different manufacturers use different approaches to using the Mini-Tuner. Some have a docking station that connects to their product, while others will have a port designed to accept the Mini-Tuner. Regardless of the interface design, the XM Mini-Tuner is an innovative and inexpensive way to take XM Satellite Radio everywhere, provided your sound systems are compatible with XM's Connect and Play.
