Has anyone here set up their bike with xm? I have some ideas, but I want to see some real setups. I have a SkyFi II (no volume cont.) I know that I can go out and buy a $250 MiFi, but I already OWN a SkyFi II. Until the MiFi comes to a reasonable rate, I won't be doing that. Anyway the goal here is to use the SkyFi II that I have in all of my vehicles and the house.
Thanks Red

Check out the 'Installs' forum over at www.xmfan.com
There's a thread for bike installs at the top of the page. Also links to vendors of bike-specific XM hardware.

Seems like the Roady is the hot setup for handlebar mounting, while the Skyfi's seem to mostly be in tank bags. Most of them are using small external amplifiers, like the MixIt to give you some volume control.

Hope it helps

I plan on using the FM modulator to pump the sound to an arm band FM radio...Sports type. Havn't tried it.

A buddy of mine bought the $300 portable unit. He says that it doesn't work on his bike. I am not sure why. I would think the standard detachable one with the small antenna that they have now would work ok. My concern would be the volume needed.
Another thing that has crossed my mind, it would be nice to use the wireless technology that the bluetooth headsets for cell phones use. Then we wouldn't have to have the wires hanging out of our helmets. Other than these new phones with MP3 I haven't seen stereo wireless headsets for portables.

The Bluetooth helmet intrigues me -- has anyone tried one yet? IIRC BMW was first with this and then Momo and few others put out their own versions.

The arm band radio and the Roady2 may be the ticket until something better comes along.

I use a mp3 player with FM to pick up the signal from my Sirrius, with helmet speakers. Simple and it goes on the snowmobile, dirtbikes, quad and street bikes.

I'm surprised Bluetooth stereo headphones are so late in making it to the public. There are a few available:

http://www.behandsfree.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=WHEAD1014

http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tips/Bluetake_i_Phono.htm

I've always thought this should have been the first technology to embrace Bluetooth - stereo headphones.
Unfortunately, none of these systems would fit inside a helmet.

Do the xm radios support Bluetooth?

I've got an XM roady, they are cheap as dirt these days. It's got volume control. Right into some earplug speakers.

Works well.
