f3t radio Question

I would like to know if Sirius xm can be added to the radio on the f3t . Has anyone done this or heard of anyway it can be done . The reception is terrible to say the least but adding Sirius xm would take care of that problem . Also the usb stops playing and says over current . Asked the dealer about it and of course they said they never heard of this . They said they would check on it . It`s been two months and I get the same song and dance we will check on it but they don`t .:doorag:

I've had the same issues on our 2016 RTs , tried different USB sticks different size 4 gb - 32gb same over current or no usb device. I finally went to an iPod Touch seems to be working fine now

We added it to my wife's F3-T with a Garmin Zumo 665. Seems to work well for her. She listens to it through her Sena.

I also used the Garmin 665 for XM/Sirius. Works great. Connected to radio via audio plug in the glove compartment. I chose to "hotwire" straight to the battery. The Garmin powers up as soon as I put it in the cradle.

Same here on the USB sticks. I have an old Iphone 5s that I'm using only as an iPOD.

I have opened a Case with BRP on the USB issue, here is the response I got from my dealer on this:

Hey Neil!!

So I have looked into this issue and you are not the only one experiencing
this problem!
They have been informed of the issue at BRP and are working on a software update to resolve this issue! Only solution at this time is to disconnect
and reconnect USB. :(. The update should be available this fall.

What unit are you installing on your spyder ? I am looking at the Stratus 7 but have to admit I know nothing about the XM radio`s .:doorag:

I installed the Onyx on my 2012 RTL in the rear trunk, worked perfect except you had to open the trunk and manually change the station. I'm looking into the different modles to see which I will install, hopefully with a remote. I plan on putting it in the glove box on top of the dash.

Nothing l could find has the Remote, so I have chosen the Stratus 7, due to its size. I will include pictures as I do the project.

My plan is to mount it in the glove compartment, but I haven't figured how to gain access to drill the hole to route the wiring thru. I am concerned about drilling without knowing what's behind it. I am going to Spyders in the hills ride and will talk the tech at Coyote Powersports for some guidance. I will post picts and info when I do the install.

Not XM but USB

my 2016 F3T plays my USB with no problems. Works great

I didn't bother worrying about setting up hardware. I just added SXM's cellphone App (cost's extra) and I Bluetooth it to helmet. If you desire to hear it thru the bikes audio system then add a Bluetooth receiver to the bike. Lamonster has one for under $15.00. I bought one on Amazon for $17.50. Then you'll have XM radio via Bluetooth to helmet OR Bluetooth to bike stereo. :clap::yes::yes:

I have never turned my radio on. Would rather listen to the engine I guess.
