satillite radio
Buddy of mine was checking out my new Head unit (DSX-S310BTX ) and really like it. He wants to get xm/sirius satillite too. whats needed for this on this particular head unit? If it isnt to much $$$ i may get it as well.
Thanks *****
Thanks *****
Probably needs something like this:
SiriusXM Connect Sirius Vehicle Satellite Radio Tuner Part# SXV200V1
They go for around $50
Do a search on satellite radio. Many pro's and con's. Decide for yourself.

See the Q/A link below from sonic, looks may it may be doable, but not easily. the SXV300V1 is the newest Sirius/XM receiver.

FWIW - I ran it on mine earlier this year and cancelled the subscription after the promo period expired for a few reasons: 1) first receiver was junk, had to return it (lost signal several times a minute - unusable). Second one was fine. 2) sound quality was crap - beyond a doubt it was the worst signal and I hated to listen to it because of that. If you dial your HU in for music, the talk stations sounded like crap and vice versa. 3). Had to send reset signal on a regular basis. If the bike was in the garage for a few days it would lose signal and need reset - not exactly a huge laborious task, but got tired of doing it all the time.
The biggest thing for me was the sound quality, it was literally terrible. I thought maybe it was my bad receiver at first, but the SQ on the second one was the same. My HU crapped out in the middle of everything so by the time it was all said and done I had tried the good receiver on 2 different head units - sounded like junk on both.
I have no idea why I had such problems with mine, have XM in car and no issues with it at all.
