I have a 2012 RT Limited and would like to add XM radio. The XM band is not displayed when I select the band. Is it possible to equip the radio for XM?

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.

It's a separate add on radio, connected to the current radio via an entertainment harness, which you also have to buy separately. An audio device not connected will not show up on the display. It will once it's installed.

you need to purchase the xm kit from brp for it work. I just hooked up Sirius portable in rear trunk

I have installed the communications system so I think I have the entertainment harness. Does that make it more doable?

With the CB, right? If so you're pretty well set. Mount the radio on the front of the left saddlebag, plug it in to the harness, locate the antenna wherever, and you should be ready to listen to music!

I just got done wiring up an XM Onyx in the trunk too! :thumbup: You use an MP-3 cable from BRP, to tap it into the stereo.

Ditto on this I also use a Inline amp for more volume works great.

Thone only issue that I'm having with mine...
I thought that the 12 volt port was fused... it isn't! :shocked:
There's power to it with the bike shut off.
I checked the right-side fuse box... and the fuse is in the "keyed" position (#6)
I am guessing that BRP went back to leaving it hot all of the time... AGAIN!

Money saving way to go for sure, but you can't control the XM from the audio controls, right? That would be the one big + for using the BRP XM radio.

That's true... 
But for only fifty bucks; I've at least got XM radio on my bike! :yes:

Did you try the other position? I thought #7 was the unswitched slot...but my memory isn't what it used to be.

For me I only listen to the 70's so I never need to switch.

Well... The fuse is currently in 6; that should only be hot with the key on....
7 is listed as hot all of the time
I should have tried switching them; just to see what might happen...
...Sounds like a chore to kill time before the race starts! :thumbup:

I hope that you can see the mounting position of the XM antenna in this picture...It's safe, secure, and out of sight! :thumbup:

Do you bring the antenna out when you ride, or does it get enough signal in the trunk?

The pic is my rear trunk. & the antenna gets great signal inside as it is Velcro in place

Yes it is! :thumbup:
I grabbed a copy of it in preparation for my adventure in the tiop trunk...
My installsion looks suspiciously like yours!

EDIT TO THIS POST: As it turns out; position #6 DOES have the power shutting down with the key...
I was shutting the bike off, and still had power back there... :shocked:
I forgot about the amount of time it takes for the bike to fully power itself down...
pps:And the Onyx DID power itself up, right where it left off with the next firing up of the bike!
As Gilda would say...
