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?

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](images/smilies/ohyea.gif)
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.

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.
