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'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?

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.
