I use the XM with my Zumo 665. :2thumbs: Works pretty good considering my antenna is under the hood. Once I get a tourpak installed over the winter I plan to move it to the back so it will be out in the open.

Can I assume it would work as well with my 660?

I don't think so.

The 660 does not support xm/sirius. I have the 665 also and am satisfied with it.

If you have an iPhone you can stream xm or pandora from your phone through their apps. Xm online radio subscription is needed but its only $4 a month. Just be careful with your data usage with your phone.

Looks like I may have to sell my 660 and upgrade to the 665...:(

Exactly what I had to do. Sold the 660 for the 665. Hell of time getting it working thanks again to a largely incompetent dealer. Best antenna placement for me was on the area right in front of me with some velcro tape. Blends in pretty good on a black bike.

I have the XM Onyx in a waterproof marine mount on my handlebars.I use a bluetooth transmitter to my sena headset. I got the marine kit off ebay for $30 bucks.

Now this looks like a viable solution...Bluetooth thru my Sena...Thanks for all the recommendations.
