XM dummy has questions

if you have a magnetic antenna and no place metallic, you can either attach it to the roof with sticky backed velcro, or you can make a small flat metal plate you can attach to one of your mirror arms with u bolts, and let the magnet work there. My experience is that the little magnetic antennas have a lifespan of about two years and then they start to fail.

If you have the transmitter unit, you can tune it to a frequency down around 88.1- 88.7, or 107.1-107.7 and dial that frequency into your radio. It takes a little time to set it up right, but it's time well spent. I made a bracket and attached my Roady directly to the top of my cb. If I have to move, I move the entire unit. I also bought a three plug switched outlet and have that mounted atop the cb, so the power is just one plug to move. I hve the Xm and the cell phone charger plugged in there, and have it velcroed to the top of the radio.

 

I stuck the magnetic antenna that came with mine (about the size of half dollar) on my mirror brackets....top. It seems there is enough "metal" there for it to stick.

I drive a Columbia

 

i was at best buy tonight and i told the guy that i dont know a thing about them. he said if i didnt have a cassette player, tune the truck radio to a certain station then tune the xm to the same station but i will probably get some static. or they could sell me a part to put on the back of the truck radio to fix that problem. onlt thing is i,d have to take the radio out to do it. lol company would love that.

 

Me Tooooooooo!

I have it on my XM Ready Home Stereo, and Zippy has it in his truck.

I think I listen to it more then watching TV
