RE: Sat radio volume
Nooo I just ponied up for a factory XM unit I hope I dind\\;t make a mistake. It's loading right now and my tech is saying that the reception is fading in and out. I put the ant on top of the dash instaed of under the fairing. I sure hope this wasn't a waste of money.

Installed it a few day ago and ran the ant to the top of the dash. It tucks in great right by the windshield. I felt it would get better reception. I'm not sure if it's a volume issue or it just does not have that great od a signal. I do feel that it sounds weak. I'm going to have to try and switch back and fourth and see. The radio selection is awsome.

RE: Sat radio volume
I put a $5 (that's right, $5 after rebate) add on XM receiver on my dash. \\; I put the power adapter under the fairing and hardwired it in instead of in the cigarette lighter. \\; I ran an output cord inside the fairing and in to the AUX input on the front of the stereo so the cord wouldn't be draped across the dash. \\; I have the HD windshield 3 bags on top of the dash. \\; The bags are mounted on a piece of steel. I put my XM antenna between 2 of the bags. \\; Unless you look for it, you don't notice it. \\; I did have it sitting on top of the radio inside the fairing, but I wasn't real happy with the reception. \\; No issues with the music volume level.
