XM Radio. Substitutes???
I purchased my street glide for the clean looks. I have already added a GPS unit. I don't want anything else on or around my handlebars or fairing. I also have a hard time paying $500.00 for thte XM radio through harley, but I would like to be able to operate satellite radio from my controls. Is there any aftermarket or any way to bypass the XM radio and use the Harmon Karden radio to control the satellite???? Other than the AUX input???
Thanks for your time, Mike

I think to get the control you want you're going to need the HD XM unit. The only other option I'm aware of is using the aux input which allows you handgrip volume control, but you'll have to mount another XM receiver somewhere.

Saw a HD XM unit on Ebay for $350 NIB. Keep your eyes open. Listing seems to come up every few weeks. I'll be getting one in the Spring.
EDIT: JUST CHECKED. IT'S LISTED NOW AT $350. GO FOR IT!!!

I would have to agree this Zumo is a very nice setup.. the unit also has an MP3 player built in

Sell your current Nav on Ebay.
Buy the Zumo 550 with the XM antenna. No extra clutter, and you get an awesome nav with XM built in.

Sell your GPS and get a ZUMO 550...
Outside of that - No other makers (that I have ever found so far) will work with the HD HK Radio using the hand controls...

RE: XM Radio. Substitutes???
OK, I have not hooked it up yet, but I just bought a Sirius ConnectUniversal Car Tuner part #SC-C1. According to Sirius tech guys, this unit is a plug and play fit with the HD/HK Advanced Audio system. I had to order the overlay harness that you have to buy to run the HD XM unit, but instead of $500 for the HD module, this Sirius tuner is $50 complete!!!! The other thing that makes this a sweet deal for me, I have (and love) Sirius already so instead of $13/month for a new XM account, an additional Sirius radio will cost me $7. Talk about a win/win. As soon as I get the wiring harness (and get my bike back from the engine work) I will hook it up and report back to all. Keep your fingers crossed!

If I can find the correct harness (adaptor) I will have this setup on my bike this weekend.
Goodwrnch......Did you order this harness from harley? And to clarify, the Sirius tech advised you that the harness for the XM setup would work with their Sirius radio? Thanks for the post, this is exactly what i have been looking for if this all works as it sounds it will.
