Have tried to find out if the audio from xm radio using the aux connection will stream the audio to a bluetooth helmet connection. Have not gotten the proper gear for xm radio yet so I need to see if anyone knows about using the AUX jack. Have run this by the BPR C facebook group but no none seems to have the answer to this question. Thanks for any help.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any audio input to the Spyder radio aux connecter. Should be able to output to the Spyder speakers or the BT helmet headsets. Output is operator choice.
I use my phone to BT stream Sirius/XM to the radio. No need for extra equipment. It works very well. Something you could consider.

Streaming is very dependent on a cell connection. So having spotty service where you ride is a problem for streaming.
Did not know all content was not available in a stream. I just have not come across that so far.
Using the aux input should work well. I just have not used it. No reason that it won't. If your Spyder is a 2018 or 19 and the dash firmware has not been updated. FM cannot be sent to your BT headset. Keep that in mind if you consider using the FM transmitter option on your XM receiver.

My XM radio needs 5v so I cut open a USB cable and spliced the radio power lead to the 5v wires in the USB cable. I plugged the USB cable into the glove box USB connector and plugged the radio output into the AUX-In plug in glove box. When I want XM, I set the RT radio to AUX and either listen thru RT speakers or BT from RT to helmet.

I have a handlebar mounted Sirius radio with the audio out going to the audio in cable in the glove box. Yes, it works through the bike when set to the aux input and bluetooth helmet connected to the4 bike. This allows the volume buttons to control the volume in addition to the helmet mounted receiver. Cardo Packtalk Bold in my case.
