Default Satellite radio tuner!

Looking to add satellite radio to my 07 FLHX. Talked with HD tech about their add on tuner. Surprised to find that he recommended against the over priced tuner from HD. Tech said I should be able to use an aftermarket tuner and get the same results but much cheaper.
Looking at a few but I'm not sure which would work. Could anyone please advise if they have any ideas about this. I don't want to add a bunch of "stuff" to the handlebars or any place else. Would love to use the options in the sound system. Thanks much in advance.

You can find a low priced Harley Davidson xm module for your Harley on ebay. It fits it's hidden no mess, easy install. Do it right, your harley will appreciate it!

I'm looking for a specific brand or even model # that will fit with the stock radio! Something has to be out there instead of the $450 one harley sells!

I just didn't care for XM that harley offered, I liked the Sirius playlist much better, sorry wasn't talking about the radio's, just playlists and not likeing XM's and that being the only choice Harley offered

Thing about it is not only do you need the module, you need the correct wiring harness. That is at least another $100. At the discount places that is still over $500 plus shipping for everything.

Here is another option. Still not cheap, but it is a little cheaper.

Biketronics RetroRadio kit: $199 Biketronics
Sony CDX-R30M Marine CD player XM ready: as low as $100 on ebay
Outboard XM tuner and adapter: Around $100 or less

I have an XM RoadyII mounted to the inner fairing that works well and is not an eyesore. The Raodies are around 50.00 at WallyWorld.



I made a mount for the wife's Street Glide that mounts on the right handle bar.

You can buy an Delphi XM Roady XT on EBay for $39.00 with free shipping. Then go to Cyclegadgets.com and get a bracket for installation on you bike for about $31.00.

You can either use the built in FM modulator or a cable to connect it to the aux input port on you Harley Radio.

Works great.
