XM Ready?

[tat167]

Hi All,

I have tried endless searches for this on the site, and I have my owner's manual, right next to me here and I haven't been able to get an answer. I have a 06 Si and it does say XM ready on my radio.

I am not able to get the input to switch over to XM/Aux. I press that button and nothing happens. I have used an IPOD and I see the input automatically switches to aux when the cable is inserted. However, I am thinking about ordering XM and wanted to see how I would be able to do so.

In the Owner's Manual it states on (pg. 125 for reference), "If your XM Radio has expired or you purchased the vehicle from a previous owner (which I did), you can listen to a sampling of broadcasts available on XM Satellite Radio. With the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position, push the power/volume knob to turn on the audio system and press the XM Radio button. A variety of music types and styles will play."

Well, I know the only channel I should get is the standard start up channel, but it seems I can't even switch the input to XM. Am I missing something? Do I need an additional component to allow the XM to work? Thanks for your help!

You need the XM Sat Radio kit.

College Hills Honda has it http://www.collegehillshonda.com/hon...lectronics.htm

^yea.

if you want to get techincal it is not "xm ready" as you still need to purchase other equipment for it to work. the only part of teh radio that is ready for xm is the aux/xm button. lol
