    Added XM Radio

    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.

    Inquiring minds want to know...

    Hey Hiflyer,

    Let us know how you hooked it all up! And let us know how the antenna works in the box.



    thanks,

    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

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

    You have to open the glove box and tune, preselect buttons. Not an issue for me because there are usually just a couple I listen to.

    To clarify, unit uses the aux on the radio, volume controlled thru the stock Honda audio controls.
