Troy I decided against XM, or Sirius. If you go to Best Buy, or a reputable installer they can do this for you. I already have an HD component, and the Alpine 445U under the dash amp. I thought adding more was getting a little to busy. In addition to this if you have to use that outside antenna that comes with it make sure you use something under it to protect your paint The antenna has a tendency to rust. and will leave a permanent mark. There aren't a lot of options for that antenna it has to be located outside at the top middle of the windshield, or top middle of the rear window to get the best reception. Then there's the other issues with the company itself once you subscribe. I'm attaching this to my post from someone who has . Hope this helps.....http://www.amazon.com/review/R30H0D1KZBQ38L/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R30H0D1KZBQ38L Best, Jerry

I used Sirius. Similar equipment. I used a pioneer Sirius reciever unit that plugged directly into the IP Bus connector on the unit. Gave excellent control of the Sirius directly from the touch screen

No but its a wonderful much cheaper alternative. Its how I found it as I was looking for xm portable but soo over priced ..I totally enjoy this and the service is good

If your current XM unit is built into your factory radio you will need the module that is advertised. If it is a seperate unit you should be ok. If not, you can get an adapter connector.

I agree with Tom - the portable radioXMP3i (XM subscription) is best used outside in the open with the external antenna ear phone accessory. If you have a Sirius subscription the Lynx portable with vehicle accessories would be your best bet. Be forewarned satellite radio requires direct line of site to connect with the service! However, we do have the radio and have stuck the radio in our sunroof and as long as there is a direct line of site, it works.

I really don't know. I believe they sell a dockong station for the Onyx, and I also believe you can subscribe to get XM on your desktop pd laptop now.

It sounds like you are not signed up correctly with XM. I would call them and make sure you have given them the right information. Also, you might try refreshing the radio. There is a process online for this or the XM rep can assist you.

I would not know I would guess probably not, your best bet would be contact XM to find out.

The unit has a usb and a mp3 input. If you can plug your xm head into the mp3 Jack it will work. Regardless, I would avoid this unit. Read my reviews-i had nothing but problems with multiple defective units and their repair company flat out lied to me about repairs. I would pay a little more and buy a better unit with better support.

This is Kevin from ReplacementRadios. That depends. If you have the XM Nav Traffic feature, it is not compatible, as noted on the manufacturer's website. Even if you don't use the feature.

The kit is complete with instructions on using the XM in the automobile. No need to run the antenna wire out the window it has a pad on it that sticks to the inside of the window. The radio has a plug for power but does not plug into the radio. The radio must be set to auxiliary not AM or FM and is used for as speakers only. The unit also has a remote to change XM channels with. Hope this answers your questions.

I dont use XM radio, but if your XM radio component has an auxiliary plug same size as an audio in which is 3.5 mm then it will work. I dont know particularly how your XM component looks like and plugs in. Feel free to ask

I bought this unit a couple of years back. It came with a XM weather receiver. I don't know which model receiver since I don't use the weather services through XM

Nope. To use it you go to the Xm radio and you can switch it between the Xm radio the auxiliary iPod/iPhone or the usb cable. There is some videos on YouTube demonstrating how it works if you search it.

Yes, I've got it set up that way, and it's working fine for me. I run XBMC, so I've remapped it for that, but before that, I tested it with the built-in Windows Media suite, and that worked out of the box.

As long as the built in xm is desperate from the factory radio you should be able to wire it in

they are very much operational/compatible. I like to program mine to record material so I can listen to at more convenient time and I haven't found another xm receiver that will program. e.g., I like coat to coast on Indie but I'm not awake at 1 am. it does lock up occasionally, maybe twice a week but I can live with that

I didn't fit the XDNX1 in my truck. I dropped Xm this year because their selection of Christian radio was pathetic. Classic Vinyl was pretty good as is the Patriot channel. You can get the subscription for half the asking if you push back really hard. The will give you an intro rate of half with auto-renew and then you just have to cancel at the end of the year. Then they offer the rate again. Good Luck
