i just picked up a 06 ex and while the radio says xm ready there is nothing in the manual or any other documentation i can find about doing anything additional besides activating the service.

when i press the xm button i get nothing... supposedly its supposed to tune in a few channels and display a serial number. i highly doubt there is a issue with the car and its most likely i need to purchase a antenna or something

anyone know? its the non-navigation premium radio

thanks

 

you may have to register the Xm.

 

And I believe there may be a monthly fee........best to check with the dealer.

 

the dealer should be able to help you with this call your salesman

 

My dad got a free 3 month trial of XM when he bought his Accord in the spring. See if you can get that

 

Your car is only "XM-Ready" like my EX coupe. You have to pay for the optional service.

 

yeah i called the salesman and i have to purchase some device that completes the system... good to know though

thanks for the help

 

its xm "ready" just like your computer is internet ready

 

Yea you need to purchase something, and it's like $260 or something. I think I'm gonna do without. I'm enjoying the mp3 player though.
