How does the XM work through the GPS/bike radio and also what happens when you switch to the car?
My Quest2 has a single speaker on the cig plug with the car kit so it is not stereo.
Thanks

hd-dude wired my bike. Put the huge XM antenna up in the fairing and ran the wires through the fairing and up the bar to the ram mount.
To get the XM from the GPS to play through the bike speakers, I just run the little cable from the GPS and it plugs directly into the front of the stock head unit on the bike. Same in my truck, Mercedes and BMW. I bought a second antenna. When you register with XM you have to have a "radio ID" however, on this unit, it's actually an antenna ID. I say this because I had a very difficult time with the people at XM.......they kept insisting that it was a radio ID however, when I finally figured that they were wanting the ID number off the antenna, it all came together.
**EDIT** By the way, I've used this GPS on my bike from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific Ocean and am very happy with it. It never failed me, not on the smallest of back roads, not in the highest altitudes of the rockies, not in driving rain, not in weathr below freezing. I know that there are a couple of others on this site that use the 2730 (with XM) and 2720 (without XM). Terrie's was taken from her car when it was left unlocked and I just bought the same thing, again, for her.....
