Default Wondering HD?XM?

I have a HD XM in my bike and I was wondering if anybody knows if there is a volume adjustment on them. I don't think there is. Hate to take the fairing off just to look. It is a bitch to get back on cause&nbsp\\;I have a Hogtunes amp under there and it is tight.&nbsp\\;It works but it doesn't have the volume of a cd or a good radio station.&nbsp\\;I wish it did. Cost damn near $500.00 bones for the thing. Heck when you are financing just sign here. lol&nbsp\\;Just wish it was as loud as the others.[8D]

I have XM on my bike,&nbsp\\; there is no volume adjustment for it to my knowledge. It will never be the same as a CD or iPOD, but should be the same as your AM/FM tuner.

Nah, Local radio station blows it away too. I had a xm&nbsp\\; $50.00 Roady 2 unit and it had a setting for output so I was wondering if the $500.00 unit might. Yeah right!

I have the Harley handle bar mount XM. It plugs in the front of the radio. Doesn't look all&nbsp\\; that great but sound quality is every bit as good as FM or CD. Already owned it when I got my new bike, kinda glad I didn't pop for the 500.00 module. Also uses the raido volume.

I am not for sure what the subscription costs because I have another radio on it. It doesn't matter what it is on it is from xm radio. Don't get me wrong I like it alot, especially the can't see it,built right in, and all selections work off the handlebar controls. I just wish it was as loud as the cd or radio. It is almost as loud but with my true duals and Rinartz and 34 years in a factory ears, nothing is loud enough for me.
