Adding XM Radio
I'm looking at adding XM radio to our CS22 this Spring. Has anyone ever done this?

Fixed.
(It was on my list to google XR radio since I had not heard of it thinking it may be something new)

If you're radio is pre-installed for it then it's no big deal. Or if you have Bluetooth then just use your phone XM app.

That's because you're from Iowa. It's all good here.

Re: Adding XM Radio
I have tried the last two summers to use the app on my phone. Unfortunately cell service is spotty on our lake so I think I want to make the jump to the old school XM ways. Radio is compatible. Mainly trying to figure out the antenna situation.

Re: Adding XM Radio
Yea some have the antenna on top of the helm or the other side. It should be in the open and that would be my issue is I think it's ugly so I won't add one. Even though it's a tiny Puck thing. Just me. It's a plug in deal and run the ant lead. Then subscribe.
I have music downloaded on my phone so no internet is needed. Makes it easy. Also I break out the 8 tracks in the cassette Convertor sometimes too. They work pretty sweet and then you don't have any of that condensed music. Just pure sound!

Re: Adding XM Radio
SiriusXM has a premonition right now $60 dollars for a year subscription. I renewed my boat today even though I only use it about four months out of the year. They said I could cancel any time and get a refund of the balance not used.

Re: Adding XM Radio
I got a email about it. I just called 855-534 3991 and asked about the $5 per month offer. I got it for my truck and boat at that price.bruceb58 wrote: Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:06 pmHave a link?Jeeper wrote: Fri Apr 02, 2021 8:15 pm SiriusXM has a premonition right now $60 dollars for a year subscription.
