    I will assume you are talking about the XM radio kit from BRP. It plugs into the entertainment harness if you have it. If not you need that as well.

    Here are the instructions from BRP.

    It. Would be a lot cheaper to get a external unit and plug it in at the trunk

    Looks like the whole back rest section will have to come off just to put the harness on . A little confused about the module , instructions read it mounts next to the battery ? Maybe a misprint..

    Since the instructions are for all RTs'. Older models have the battery in the rear left side.

    I installed one on a 2015 RTS, the xm module mounts on the left side behind the saddlebag. There is a pre-drilled plate there that leaves it in the wind to cool it. Good luck!

    I don't think Bob Denman saw your Thread on this, but I would PM Him and ask about the XM system He put in His RT. He likes it a lot and I doubt it cost anywhere near what the BRP one cost.......... Mike

    I think that was changed with the '14 or '15 model year so you don't have to take the back section off. That actually is not an overly hard job to do, but it is more than just a couple of hours!
