Sirius and Sound system upgrades
Anyone change out their stereo to one that will accommodate Sirius? Would like to change out the CD player deck to something more modern and iPhone friendly... bluetooth perhaps. Anyways, Im all ears for suggestions on stereo, speaker, amp upgrades for my '12 RG...

You can use either Biketronics or hawgwired install modules to keep handlebars features, both are great, BT has lifetime warranty whick I like. Good luck and PM me for more ?

I plan on doing the Sony DSX-MS60 which is Sirius ready. Had it before and it is a great head unit. You can grab one for under $150 brand new. They were just $125 on amazon a few weeks ago.
I then plan to add this Sony Sirius package.
There is a cheaper way to go with this. SiriusXM SXV200V1 Tuner
$19.99 after a $50 rebate.
You need to get a head unit that is Sirius/XM compatible. That is where it gets tricky. There is Sirius ready, XM ready and Sirius/XM ready. It has to be Sirius/XM ready to use that one. If it is just Sirius ready or XM ready it will not work. Also consider if you already have or plan to have other satellite service they need to be the same or you need to start a whole new account with new service. So say you currently have Sirius and you want to add another receiver to your account it would have to be Sirius. If it is Sirius/XM you would need to open a whole new account with Sirius/XM.
If you think it is confusing it is.

If you change the radio, you will need to change the module too.
Have you thought about contacting Iron Cross Audio about checking the radio?
