FLHTCUSE7 XM Radio "Check Antenna"
« on: March 15, 2012, 09:07:52 PM »

Has anyone else had trouble with their XM not playing from day 1, with a "check antenna" message in the display?

Take the outer fairing off and check the wire connection to the back of the XM.  I also put the antenna on the left speaker with velcro.  Hope this helps.

I agree.  Sounds like the antenna is not plugged in to the radio.  Did not have this problem but when my RUSE was six or seven months old I got on it one morning and the speakers were dead.  Thought the radio had gone out but later hooked up a headset and radio was working.  Turns out the connector from the speakers to the radio had come loose (unplugged).  Obviously not fully seated/mated from the factory.  Chit does indeed happen.

Would not be a surprise at all if it was never plugged in!
