Default Just had the dealer install XM Radio

I took the 06 Ultra in for my 1000 mile service and had them install XM Radio also. I was going to get the Roady II until I was on the Harly site and found the one that is added to the radio under the faring. This is only for 06 and 07. It is expensive $495 plus $238 install. One thing I like about it is you don't see anything and the info is on the radio. The antena is also under the faring. I have ordered the amp and speakers from Hog Tunes which will be delivered Friday.

[8D] I had the xm put in when I bought the bike this spring. I now have 17500 so far for the summer,and love it. You are right it is pricey but I like it . My wife has 16000 this summer on her Street Glide also, so we do ride the country and on the long haul the xm is nice. I also like that I can look and see what is playing and turn it up if i like what I see. Beast

I also have the factory XM radio upgrade. I do enjoy it - however the reception does cut in and out where there are trees and obstructions. My new truck also has the XM and the reception is much better.

I'd really like the blue tooth cell phone interface, but it's 495 like the XM, that seems like an awful lot. But I really like the way it integrates like the XM into the existing display and helmet headset. I'll probably break down and get it before too long.
