    Question 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

    Mike, if memory serves me, your radio is not OEM. Correct?

    nope, the radio is OEM,( no added amp )… my speakers are JBL 2 ohm models …. 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

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

    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.

    …. 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

    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

    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.
