Installed my module and been running it for a couple months. I didn't run my antenna up top like y'all did, but I'm fine with the reception. My weirdness is that, very occasionally, my XM will sound like it has a bad signal but I'll have 3 bars and it won't matter which direction I'm facing nor if the sky is unobstructed. The only method I have to clear the problem is to turn off the bike, wait 10 seconds, and power everything back up. When I switch to FM, I get clear sound - switch back to XM and I get poor quality. Happens a couple times a week. Harley basically said "hopefully when it happens you'll be close enough to ride it in to us so we can look at it.

I've had XM on several units for quite a while. The sound quality on XM is not typically the best. Sometimes it's just better than others, but never really good. XM for me isn't about sound quality as much as the variety of programming. For sound quality nothing really beats a quality mp3 on a usb stick.

I called June 9 2014 to activate and get my 3 months free trial. They asked me a few times "Do you want to link a Credit Card" so that you have uninterrupted service. I politely said no and they told me "ok then if it shuts off it will be a charge to reactivate it" I said ok not a problem. they told me September 9 2014 it shuts off. Well it's almost 4 years now and it is still going strong. In fact its the whole package (Traffic,Weather), not the cheap one. Needless to say I changed to a Sony xav-ax5000 so my friend is now enjoying it on his limited. 4 years and still on. Somebody screwed the pooch on that activation.
