Yep. Only downfall is when in a very tree covered area or in the hills or mountains it loses signal. Dont waste your money on a hidden antenna its not worth it. Factory antenna layer under seat along frame is better from what ive read here.

Installed one one my '14 SGS a couple of months ago. Mounted the antenna up by the vent opening instead of in the fairing like the instructions has you do. Very sensitive to signal fade in tree lined areas but even when parked in my garage I still get full bars. Install takes an hour tops.

I have XM in both my cars and find myself flicking channels same as in the old AM and FM days. Years ago they promoted no commercials, now there's lot's of them. In the car cruising down the highway I can deal with that, on the bike where I'm a little busier really don't want to be bothered. If the module was included I might subscribe but for me the USB with a thumb drive full of my music is fine. And for me the music is just a side note anyway, it is all about the ride!

I have one. I love it. I use voice activation for channel selection and it works flawless. As noted on a tree lined or mountain road you block out the satellite signal. For me it's well worth it.

The module would receive and maintain the satellite signal much better if Harley paid a little more for a unit that has more than a 1 second buffer. But I guess the bean counters that got fired from GM and hired on at Harley had their say.
