I just got back from the dealer and they pulled the fairing and checked out the wiring and they can't find anything wrong. They called Harley and came to the conclusion that the unit must be bad. It sucks because I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow for 12 days and no XM so I guess I'll plug in my iPhone and play music from there when I can't find FM. I left the dealer pretty frustrated because when I left the bike there to have a tour pack and rear speakers and intercom installed they didn't get the right harness so I'd have rear intercom. I explicitly told them that's what I wanted because my little girl rides with me a lot and I like to talk to her some so she stays awake. So now after all this too I told them I want them to order the parts and have them ready when I get back and I want them to install the CB module and give me a break on it and I was told there would be no labor charge for any of this which is what I expected. I'm still pissed because the tech didn't check the XM before he let me have the bike. It has that preview channel that plays so he could have done it. I think they get in such a hurry that they forget the little details. I guess I could have done it too. If I would have they could have overnighted the parts and got it done in time. Oh well, lesson learned.
