Since you mentioned that you have Sirius satellite service, this prompts the question. Do you have the satellite module installed on your Spyder? If so, did your Spyder come with it, or was it added after the purchase? And if that's the case, was the radio a simple intall or plug in, or did it require a unique wiring harness, etc?

If I may ask do you have the dongle or just listen through the speakers I haven't known anyone who had the dongle and wonder does it still play through the speakers too

I have a similar setup to Bob. I have my Sirius plugged into the auxiliary port in my trunk and play it through my sena Bluetooth with the dongle. I have tried it through the bike speakers, and it works just fine.

I've had Sirius on my car and the Spyder. Since I like to ride back roads on the bike Sirius tends to go in and out with reception in CT and MA (too many mountains and heavy forests). I stopped it on my Spyder because of that.

Could not do without my Sirius radio. How else would I listen to Fox News and stay awake! I do have seven different radios and it gets a little expensive with all the discounted subscriptions. I do a lot of Mountain riding and always have good reception. Never had a problem unlike FM/AM always losing reception.

Seven XM radios ?!?!?!? AAACCKKK!
I'm way, way too cheap for that. I have 1, an Onyx. And I have docks in my car, the wife's car, the Spyder, my Victory, and a home kit in the garage. It's just habit, when I pick up the keys to whatever I'm going to ride / drive, I pick up the radio receiver also. On the Spyder mine is mounted on a dash mount, and wired to the trunk input plug.
And like you guys, there is no way I'm giving it up. Listening to broadcast (commercials!) radio for more than a few minutes makes me want to stick a screwdriver in my ear.

Is the Dongle accessory generally almost mandatory these days?

Was this your installation or a dealer's or stereo shop's?

It was easy-peasey!
I have the Onyx in the top trunk in a pouch that I hung from the MP-3 player mounting bracket that I had...
I've got it plugged into the power port in the trunk, and the fuse in the right-hand fusebox has been set in position #6. (It's now only powered when the ignition is on...)
I use the Mp-3 player patch cord to plug it into the sound system's plug in the trunk, and the antenna is simply mounted underneath the lid, up at the top of the trunk...
(I'll try and get you a picture of it...)

It's not perfect... but for the cost: it does pretty darn well!
(I can't change stations on the fly, and I get no information about the artist or song on the screen...)

Well Bob, just do what I did and move the connection from the rear trunk to the Glovebox ( no wiring changes needed ) and you can plug the Sirius unit in there ......easy peasey .......... Mike

IF You are paying more than $5 a Month for your Car You need to tell them You will QUIT UNLESS you get it for $5 a Month- Not a PENNY MORE!!!
I renew every 6 or 5 months for this amount and BE SURE to call a few days before the renewal date Because it will automatically go to $12 or $15 a Month IF YOU DO NOT.
I tell them I'm retired and ONLY in my car 10-15 minutes a day and I WILL NOT pay more than $5 a month including fees?
They will try to offer you $9 a Month- Then $7 a month- BUT KEEP Firm and they will give it to you for $5 a Month including Fees.
My Last Deal (Last Week) Was $30.60 Total for 6 Months!!!

I can appreciate your sentiment...
But they ARE in business to make money.
If I couldn't afford it: I wouldn't have it.
I assume that when you don't take this approach to every facet of your life...
Do you argue with the folks at DMV over the cost of registrations?
Or the grocers over the cost of steak?

I bought the whole dongle setup from Can Am through a dealer. Very expensive to buy and to have it installed. I had the dongle mounted in the glove box so it's easy to turn on and off. I have Sena 10H communicators and I get my phone, gps, regular radio, XM radio all through my helmet. I read below about doing the 6 month thing. Never thought of that and will have to switch. I hate paying for a full year and in Omaha, only being able to ride 6 or 7 months.
