Added XM Radio

[hiflyer]

Bought a unit at Best Buy, everything fits and plugs in the left glove box. Power, audio. Antennae mounted there also. Took all of about 5 minutes and sounds great for 50 bucks.

Hey Hiflyer,

Plugs into power socket, audio plugs into unit. Using 3m mounting tape on the base of the unit, unit mounted in glove box. Using 3m, antenna mounts in corner. Antenna works under the closed lid. I used the 3M product, which makes for a secure mount, so that unit could be removed easily in case I wanted to use the box for something else at a later date, being as the bike is only a week old. Works great!

Take the dash surround out and mount the antenna up inside the shelf for better reception

Could you give the model # of the radio you bought.I have been wanting to add XM to my F6B.

Mine is the XE21V1, but I wish that I had looked at the SirusXM website before I bought, they have a smaller unit, XMCK5P, that has a close out price of $14.99.

Do you have to access the unit to control it or can it be done through the f6b audio controls?
