Reply With QuoteYes, it's done through FM receiver. You have to buy the tuner and the antenna. Any stereo gurus correct me if I'm wrong. I have the XM and love it. I hardly ever listen to regular radio anymore, well except for Kevin and Bean in the morning.
Is there a way to add XM to a factory stereo system? I am curious. Thanks

I have XM in my truck and it connects through an FM modulator like Reaper said.. There is a separate tuner control for the XM, but the factory is still there and fully functional. I really like it and may look into adding it to the boat
The above is correct. In addition, there are a few accessory companies that produce adaptors that allow you to add xm through the cd changer input of some OEM stereos.
How do I get these adapters/FM modulators? Are they easy to install? Remember, I am an idiot.
hey roz i would like to get xm also.where is a good place in corona area to get it done?
I'm sure the adaptor is an easy to connect. It probably a changer connection on one side with an rca input on the other. 2 companies to look at are Blitzsafe and periferal. I'm sure they would have them.
Boatnam, I'm sure there are several companies in your area that carry XM. If you'd like to use one of my stores, PM me. Tyler Mall is the closest to you.
Can you get 2 XM "hook-ups" and 1 tuner. I'm thinking 1 for the house and 1 for the boat. I can't see paying $9.99 per month for something I only use 15 weekends a year. Tomorrow I'm looking into it. I saw both "Best Buy" and "Circut City" advertise the "mobil" hook-up and "home" hook-up for 69.99ea. and the tuner for 129.99. Does that mean I can take the home tuner with me and put it in the boat and vice versa when I get home? I already do that with my Direct TV. Any thoughts?

I think what they have there is the Delphi Xm unit. It's an XM receiver/tuner in one. It can be mounted in a "vehicle" RF, cassette adaptor, or OEM adaptor, as well as at home, as long as you have the home accessory kit. The unit is like 130. The car kit is like 50. The home kit is around 70.
I think that it's the easiest portable XM unit.
Hope this helps.
hey roz i e mailed you.let me know if you got it.
