Retrofit SiriusXM Satellite in Your Cybertruck [DIY TUTORIAL]

[YDR37]

Can you expound on this?
What does it mean to plug "it into an FM transmitter that connects to an unused FM station"?

This is an old-school way to connect an external device to a car stereo. Let's say you have a CD collection, which you can play using a Sony Discman. But your Chevy Nova only has an AM/FM radio, with no CD slot or input jack. Bummer, right?

But wait -- the car radio can receive FM signals. So you connect your Discman to a small, very low-power FM transmitter. Set the transmitter to an FM frequency that no local radio station is using, to avoid interference. Then tune your car radio to the same frequency and now you can blast your REO Speedwagon CDs through your car speakers. In effect you are creating a very small-scale radio station that can only be received by your car (or possibly a few nearby cars traveling in the same direction).

It can get annoying on long car trips, because you might reach a different town where there is a talk radio station on your selected frequency and then your tunes start cutting in and out and you have to set everything to a different FM frequency.

Cool writeup and thanks for including those pictures.

For those wondering about the reasons Tesla excluded this, we can only guess as others have pointed out the S/X have it.

My guess is that Tesla is moving away from legacy features like this and Homelink which also isn't available on the CT as a hardware option.

Off topic but I see the Toolbox picture appears to allow you to change back to the original horn.
