sirius xm onyx

[lockwing]

I just traded my 2010 RT for 2013 Rt limited I love it. I want to get a Sirius radio. Thinking of xm onyx. Has anyone installed it and mounted on the bike so you can change chanels? And do you get much interference. Thanks.

I just bought the same set with the motorcycle bundle...Won't be putting it on the Spyder until after we return from Maggie/Valley and Lamonts BBQ. I have a question for those who are knowledgeable...Do I have to connect the receiver to a radio or can I play it thru my GPS/ear pods? I've got a 2009 GS so no radio....

XM onyx?
Is that a setup that can transmit on an FM frequency to your existing radio?

i run this unit with a inline amp that boosts the volume plugged into the aux plug in trunk works great as ev1 knows you cant change the channel but heck i listen to 1 station 70's and if i get tired can always change when i stop for fuel.
but to answer your question there was a post on here where they have mounted on handle bars using a ram mount, but remember they ain't waterproof.

THANKS SE. thats a good point about being water proof. I THINK I will try it both ways. Orderd it yesterday its on the way. I will try to find out more info about an in line amp.

True...Mot waterproof but the bundle come with a zipper case that helps deter water...Don't know if it's effective yet.

I have this set up on both my bikes......I got the auto kit for the radio....it comes with the holder, antenae, and power plug in......I used a large u-bolt from Home Depot to mount on the handlebars of the Spyder......covered it with shrink wrap......ran the antenae wire under the dash by removing the cover of the speaker and ran the antennae to the right mirror, attached it with velcro.......placed a power plug in the speaker cover so I can plug the radio in......and set my Spyder radio to a station that is blank....and the XM radio to the same station......very easy..took no time at all!! works great...I carry a zip lock bag for when it rains! I can take the Onyx radio from bike to bike!
