If the receiver is in the Garmin, then that alot of stuff packed in

I think we are talking about two different things. I was talking about the
fact that while connected to XM for data, with a music subscription, you can
take a music feed from the 396 to you choice of listening connections.

Reading the "quick reference" .pdf, you sir are correct, it has an
internal XM Radio receiver, however you'll need to turn off the XM
Weather to activate the receiver... So I wonder if they are tossing in
the XM Radio subscription for free with the weather package?

Accepts TIS traffic uploads from A GTX 330 transponder, uploads VHF
frequency data to a SL30/40 com, DSC Marine VHF connectivity, marine
Sonar connectivity (think amphib)... This unit is very k3wl indeed...
