I have made the jump to satellite radio for my car, choosing XM Radio as
my provider. Wow, am I in love now that I am free of the canned format
of commercial radio!

I was wondering if anyone has taken the portable version of the XM radio
receiver, in my case called the Delphi Roadie or Roadie 2, and used it
in the cockpit?

It seems like it would be pretty straight forward to do, placing the
antenna inside the cockpit forward of the glare shield, then interfacing
the radio to the AUX input of the audio panel. Just wondering about
others' experiences.


Very easy, I did it last October.

Thanks for your experiences.

Only problem you may run into is low audio.

While awaiting for the delivery of the Roadie 2, I took the opportunity
to read through the owner's manual (made available at their web site).
There is a feature of the radio that allows the user to control the
level of the output, so low audio should be a non-issue.
