Newbie here, I like to say this is a great site and already learned alot about our H2's.
I know Klaus has a write up somewhere but i cant find it for the GM XM radio kit install, which i have purchased. Can someone point me to the right direction?

He just sent it to me a couple days ago. Send me your email address by PM and I'll forward it to you

LasVegas 12-28-2004 04:07 AM

Never mind the PM. I sent it to your frontiernet email address. If you don't receive it let me know.

i just installed the kit on my 03 with sunroof.i mounted the antenna in tne center of the dash. and it works great. no need to drill holes in my roof.

Got any pics of this install? I'd be real interested in seeing this. Do you have a Nav system? I'm installing the TNR Nav system and XM this weekend but the Nav antenna goes under the dash and wondering if this would be a signal conflict.

intimidator 12-28-2004 09:15 PM

yes i do have the nav system.the xm antenna is just to the right of the center of dash it covers a half an inch of the defroster outlet this is where i routed the antenna lead down into the radio cavity.i used 3m velcro to hold it to the dash and cut 3 of the defroster slats out so there was no need to drill holes. i'll try to take a couple of pictures but it's dark when i get home and it's also 18 degrees out.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know I have installed the GM kit and it is working great. The only problem is Im trying to fimd another XM antena, I did not want to drill into the roof.
But as you know its the holidays here and places are closing fast for the holidays.
I would like to get a magnetic antenna any uggestions where I can find one?

intimidator 12-30-2004 08:30 PM

any aftermarket radio installer might have a magnetic one. but there could be an issue on the plug for the receiver.

LasVegas 12-31-2004 03:30 AM

I'm half way through my upgrade...TNR Nav/XM and cd changer. I have the sunroof and didn't want to drill through roof (if I could find a place to drill) so I bought the Terk XMicro. It's no bigger than a half dollar and I've routed it to the center of the dash. I gluing a small sqaure of metal to the underneath of the dash for magnetics. It should be real neat. There is a connector issue. The factory connection has two splines/grooves and the terk only has one. Just shave the extra one off with razor knive. It fits like a glove!

OldHiker 12-31-2004 05:53 PM

Hey Sam, how far upstate do you live?

samrod1 01-01-2005 11:58 AM

Well I purchased the xmicro and all is working fine with the install.
