Vehicle Dock. The settings apply only when the XMp3i is in a Vehicle Dock.
In Vehicle Settings, there are three options:
• FM Channels: Set and select FM channel presets. When using the

will turn on when power to the vehicle dock is detected. Some vehicle
power sockets are switched on when the vehicle ignition is turned on,
while others remain powered on at all times. This feature does not
work with a power adapter socket which is always powered on.
• Power Off: Some vehicle power sockets are powered on at all times,
which means you could turn the vehicle off and the XMp3i will remain
