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.
Or a part number for the new antenna? I have two year old system and in tree lined roads or mountains mine cuts out. It's on the outside of the fairing as suggested before but still the same.

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.

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

This mounting spot "right side of mailbox" has been mentioned several times. Can someone post a picture or direct me to one that's been already posted?
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.
cycle7447,
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.
Looks like the right side while sitting on the bike...
TriGeezer the difference is night and day. I couldn't listen to a full song with the original unit and antenna. Road again for hours yesterday and didn't drop signal once.
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.
