Oem xm radio ?

Just finished up with the install. Easy to do. Only one additional step I would add, that's not mentioned in the instructions. Remove the passengers backrest and if it is OEM i have read you should NOT push in on the screws when reinstalling the backrest, because the nut plates may dislodge.

My question:

I have not activated the radio and am wondering.

Do the parentheses around (((XM))) change from 1, 2, or 3 of each on each side to denote signal strength?

If not, is their a signal strength indicator at all.

I ask because my Garmin 665's show signal strength.

Thanks

i have the xm on my rt - there are vertical bars that show signal strength ….. I don't believe the number of parenthesis make a difference …. mike :ohyea:

nope, the radio is OEM,( no added amp )… my speakers are JBL 2 ohm models :gaah: …. however some members here have told me / us , that this will - should - can fry the radio ….. I have had this system for 45,000 miles and to-the-best of my knowledge the frying hasn't occurred …. quite of few folks here have also used the same JBL's and no one has reported the " frying " thing.... I'm just an audiophile not an audio engineer ….JBL / Harmon Kardon Co. actually have the Audio engineers who may not realize their speakers are defying Ohm's Law...… mike :ohyea:

So you're no longer using the one mentioned in the post below? And went with BRP's OEM XM Radio?

I dont believe that is signal strength. I just put a oem on my spyder last week

I never really checked if there was a signal strength indicator for xm

Thinking that may be where it indicated signal strength was a 'WAG' on my part.

May be that it doesn't have that feature.

Thanks for the response.

:hun: …. To clarify - in 2014 the OEM radio didn't have XM receiver capability ( my Sienna van does )….. my ONYX XM receiver was purchased separately and added to the radio system ( I have pics and explanation in one of my Albums ) ….. XM may be available on newer Spyder radio's but wasn't on mine ….. Mike :ohyea:

You also need 219400610 harness to go along with brp set up which is $129.99

You’re right. I don’t think Mike ever really got himself up to speed on BRP’s radio, comm. system.

From your original post #1. …. you gave no indication we were discussing BRP's Comm. system ….. you asked what I had and I told you … you don't seem to understand Exactly what ((( XM ))) is … in relation to the radio I have in my 20114 RT, or any other radio for that matter ...… Mike :ohyea:

OEM = original equipment manufacturer - is in the header, Mike.

You're talking oranges and I'm asking about apples. No big deal lets give it a rest.
