A:AnswerThe device has a button that allows you to change the station on the device. Make sure its the same station on your radio. Also, you might be competing with a local station that has the same FM frequency.
A:AnswerThis transmitter works in the FM frequency band. You have to set your radio to the FM setting (not the satellite setting) to play your phone playlist through your radio. When you ask if it can "compete" I'm not sure what your asking. The sirus receiver should be off when using your FM part of your radio so it's not competing with anything. Hope that helps.
