Default XM with FM modulation

well with XM do you really need FM??? unplug the antenna after the modulator

I want to get an XM radio for my truck and I see that all of the
non-specialist stores (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) are all pushing these
"works with your existing radio" units, which I understand work via FM
modulation. But how exactly does that work?

I used to have an adapter for my Discman years ago where I had to tune the
radio to an unused frequency to listen to it, but it didn't work very well
because no matter what frequency I turned to, I'd get some interference.

Do
these XM systems work the same way? I live in Los Angeles now and I'm not
sure it would be possible to find an FM frequency with nothing on it.

go with the kit that those local stores have bestbuy, circuitcity. the
fm modulator usually work with 88.7 and 89 something. the fm modulator
will overpower those stations and transmit the xm radio and you still
have your other fm station to listen to. crutchfield have xm radio
with headunit combo, but by now you probably already bought something
