XM Antenna

[OscarTGrouch]

How many people have moved the XM antenna from atop the Dash to another location on the RT? I would like to move that antenna, to the tail of the bike. I would like to put a GPS mount up there above the TFT like someone mentioned using a mount for a RTP. I am not real sure how to 1. remove the current antenna, 2. What is the replacement antenna, where to purchase and how to mount it. I certainly do not want to booger this up!

I bought this one. Plugged into radio under seat no problem. Mounted on top of saddlebag w/ Dual Lok.

While not a complete step by step guide, it's helpful. Have anything you intend to mount in the orig. XM ant. location at hand so you can do that while it's apart.

I repurposed a monitor mount I had lying around for a relatively cheap 7" Garmin.

Good luck, take your time. Patience is important in removing/replacing the panels.

That is what I am looking to do. I have a Mark V GPS from a previous RT, that I would like to mount above the TFT as you have depicted. Somewhere I saw a post that someone had used a mount for the Police version (RTP) and it looked a lot like something from a GS. I am exploring the possibilities. I also am not real pleased with the XM reception through the "Mushroom" Seems to fade out alot. I have had old AM radio's that worked better! LOL
The Connected App is ok except I use my phone for other things (Waze, and phone calls) and with the Connected app active the screen on my phone is blacked out. Plus I always like a back up besides paper!
