I attached the Instruction Sheet for my module; read it over and see if you'll be able to use it.

If it's something you can use, make me an offer (BTW: I can't PM you).

I bought the XM unit when I first got my 14 and i rarely use it because the reception is so bad. After reviewing this thread and others, was thinking it would be worth it to try a new antenna and pulling the antenna from inside the fairing. Thoughts on going new HD antenna or the microdot that baeseman1 mentioned? Any comparisons? If I do it I should also relocate the antenna to the side of the vent as many of you have?

Why don't you try the cheapest way first, you already have the OEM antenna, try and relocate it outside the fairing next to the mail slot and see if reception improves? Can't hurt...

Relocating the antenna may be the cheapest way. If I were doing it, since I had to open the faring, I would go ahead and purchase the newer antenna. - then you can decide if you want it inside or outside.

Mine just seems to work well on the inside.

Great! I hope my presets didn't stay with the unit, unless you're into hard rock!

They stayed, Hard Rock is no problem. I grew up in the 60's, listening to everything from early Rock & Roll, through Psychodelic/Acid Rock, Heavy Metal and on up to 80's Hair Bands. I think Hard Rock falls in there somewhere.
