XM Radio w New Antenna
#41
If I had to do it over again; I would subscribe to the $11 a month plan in our GMC, then add on the $4 a month for streaming & just use that via bluetooth on my Limited. I get good reception since I moved the antenna to the top of the dash, but I never dropped the signal when streaming from Radio Tunes, Heart Radio, etc. Way cheaper than spending the money on the module & a dedicated monthly subscription.

Unfortunately that's typical with Sirius/XM. It does the same thing with my car and it drives me nuts!

Just an update. As I mentioned I was unhappy with the XM module and reception. I bought the new antenna and mounted it on the right side of the mail slot. Today I rode for about 100 miles around Phoenix and it worked great. Occasional drop below 3 bars due to an overpass but no interruptions in signal. I can finally use my SDM.

I've been happy with the updated antenna since I put it on my bike.

I just installed it on my '12 TriGlide. Bought it from a friend that removed it from his Pre-Rushmore.
- the reception is kind of spotty at times, so, I've got to look into the new antennae.
Call Sirius/XM to add service. If you have other subscriptions, you can get a 'deal' on the added one,

I cancel the XM in my cars/trucks as soon as free trail is over. Don't spend much time in them, my 14 car has 12,200 miles on it. The 15 CVO I traded for my 17 CVO had 43800 on it at trade time. My 17 has 7200 miles on it. So I keep XM on my bike.

The weather overlay is ok. You have to go to the weather screen and zoom in a lot. You get to it from your regular Nav screen pretty easy. It has helped me miss rain more than once. Can't post a screen shot as I am 150 miles off shore at work for 12 more days.
I also move the xm antenna out from inside the fairing to improve reception.

That is good to know. I removed my older HK module with lifetime subscription when i traded my old bike in thinking it would work on the Rushmore and it wont. I was looking to buy the Rushmore module this spring. Really sucks because i miss XM radio and have to buy something twice when i have one with lifetime listening.
I offered to buy yours but you never responded.
