I have read where guys have bought an FM tuner and plugged that into cable on the 550 and then matched Freq. with headset for their XM sound.

I stick the XM antenna in my windshield bag and usually I have pretty good reception.

Thanks for the pics. I've always wondered what that set up would look like on my RK.
When leaving my bike unattended I take my Zumo out of the cradle and store it in the tour pak to help deter theft. I leave the cradle on the ram mount. Can the antenna be easily removed from the mount?

Thanks
