Other Information[]

The sound did not come from the Game Boy Advance speaker, but from a proprietary speaker on the tuner itself.

The unit was either powered by 4 AA Batteries or an adapted.

2 models of the tuner were made. One could only work with the original Game Boy Advance due to that the side means were wider to help the tuner fit snugly into the notch behind the original Game Boy Advance. A later model had a narrower slot to allow the tuner to work with the Game Boy Advance SP. The tuner simply rests under the SP.

This accessory has been rendered obsolete and unusable as of July 12, 2009 due to the analog switch off in the United States. This item was an analog only receiver.
