Xm sat for 17 limited
just wondering if I can use a xm sat doc station on my 2017 ultra limited like I do on my 11 ultra. So I can take my xm sat receiver from my work truck to bike to shop to car. I do it now but a see no aux Jack spot on the 17 limited....don't laugh I am super audio challenged ....😬 If I can who's do you use as it time for a new receiver .

It can be done. I did it. I just wasn't happy with the results.
To do it, you have to buy the 3.5mm adaptor from HD and plug it into the heads unit. If I remember correctly it was $29.00. From there you have to have the dealer flash the radio to recognise the new input, so it shows up in your media menu. Then mount the docking station in a handy place to see it and reach it. I found that the pins on the docking station didn't hold up to the bikes vibration and would only work intermittently. After much trial and error, I gave up.
I do enjoy xm, so I ended up paying the piper and bought the Boom XM unit. Expensive, but worth it over what I had. I can now switch media, channels and view it on the head unit with the thumb controls.
