I'm dying without XM. The 2003's aren't XM ready, but the 2004's are. I tried using the FM transmitter of my SkyFi2 and it's garbage. So my options are:

1) Buy a $60 converter that will connect my SkyFi2 into my AUX port. Put the SkyFi2 into my cubby hole. This is the easiest method.

2) Spend $300 on a 2004+ head unit and $100 on the factory XM kit. I can probably get like $250 for my current head unit, and XM will be controlled/displayed through the head unit.

As a side note, does anyone know what I actually need to hook XM into an "XM Ready" factory head unit? I've been searching for a week and I find like 10 different part numbers.

Tell me what to do h:

 

did you check handa?

 

go sirius


seriously though, id do the cheapest option....if and when the merger goes through, who knows what will happen hardware wise

 

what kind of transmitter are you using?

 

Huh?

Yeah, they don't sell the factory XM kit anymore. I read somewhere that Honda discontinued it. All I can find are leftover kits on EBay for less than $100 that include everything but a mounting bracket and the antenna.

Two can play this game

 

i'd go with the AUX input.

 

im saying the stiletto is at the lowest price its ever been and if the merger goes thru you currently have the superior portable satelite receiver

 

The only thing with that is that on the head unit it'll display "CD-C" whereas if I had a factory install it would display XM channel/artist/song. And I have to find a place for the bulky SkyFi2.

But I'm leaning towards that too Especially since I have no idea what's involved in the factory install and it's a pain in the ass finding an 04+ stereo because the 6MT has a unique stereo (180W v 120W).
