XM/Sirius conversion
Hi all,
I just sold my '02 fatboy to join the Street Glide ranks. Here's my question. I'm currently a Sirius subscriber. Does anyone know if it's posible to get the XM option for the Harley radio but still use my Sirius subscription...in other words, is it possible to use my subscription on the stock radio without adding a seperate Sirius receiver??
Also, I'm planning on putting Vance & Hines Big Radius Touring pipes on the bike with the V&H Fuel pack and Screaming Eagle air cleaner. Do I need the HD download too or will the fuel pack take care of everything?
Thanks!

RE: XM/Sirius conversion
I am in the same boat as you with the Sirius / XM deal. As far as I know, the subscriptions don't interchange yet. If anybody knows anything else I really want to know too.

Not interchangable yet. Maybe after Congress gets its finger out of it's ****. They're stonewalling the merger. Afraid Howard Stern will take over the country

RE: XM/Sirius conversion
I am a lifetime Sirius subscriber. I used the Ram Mounts for my receiver and attached theantenna (via velcro) on the fairing of the 07 Ultra......works greatfor 5,000 miles.
My understanding of the merger between Sirius and Xm is basically a pricing scheme. Let's use me for example. I will continue to receive all the stations that I presently do now; however, if I wanted to listen to any XM stations, I would have to pay for the individual stations (or abundle of stations). It may sound a little confusing; but it may be easier to understand if you think of it the same way cable/satellitle tv subscriptions are priced. If you are a existing customer already with either Sirius or XM nothing changes.....you will continue to getting what you presently do. However, if you want to receive stations from the other company. Expect a pricing scheme to take effect.
For those who join the satellite radio after the merger takes place (whenever that is), they will pick and choose what channels they want across the board and be priced separate or as abundle. I still think pricing scheme has to be worked out to the satifaction of both companies.
I ride around 500 miles a week, and listen to satellite radio probably 98% of the time. AM/FM in my area (Wash, DC) is cluttered with commercials so much, it actually becomes a distraction. Satellite radio is the only way to go.

RE: XM/Sirius conversion
Thanks mike280. Looks like I'll be mounting my receiver like you did then LOL. I was hoping they would offer all the stations on either receiver after things get worked out but it doesn't look that way. I'm with you though, I haven't listened to regular radio for about a year...satellite radio is awesome!

RE: XM/Sirius conversion
Here's what I'm hoping is available before long. This is made by Audiovox you plug it into your computer and download the program for your XM radio ready reciever. Anotherwords if you have Sony reciever you tell your computer it's for a Sony and it downloads it so you can control a Sony. Same goes for Clarion and so on, they are coming out with different radio downloads I just haven't found one for Harman Kardon yet. I think they will and if they do you just download it, buy the cables that go with your radio and now you can control your HK radio just likethe HD unit. The only difference is this unit cost about a $100+ cables and you have the samething as the HD unit that sells for $500+. I would wait to see if they come out before I bought a HD unit. Being its Christmas time I would hate for someone to spend that much for a HD unit and then this come out.
