Topic: XM Aux Jack

[R3D DR4G0N]

Hello!  I was wondering, and I have been asking around; will my factory head unit:





Accept and recognize the XM auxillery jack mod?

I do in fact have the XM module, first of all:



And I have already exposed the wires, necessary to complete the mod:



I already prepared a red patch cable (not pictured) to complete the mod, although now I am at a standstill.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you!

When you scroll through the "band" options (Fm1,Fm2, AM...) does the XM1 and XM2 appear?

ill have to check, but not that i know of.  i do have a "cd/aux" button on the HU, does that actually do anything?  if it makes more sense just to get the aftermarket HU to get the aux jack then ill do it, but i just hate unsightly cable dangling about.  thank you

Keep in mind that I haven't finished that install. I still need to mount that jack in my accessory switch plate.

but also, i need to keep in mind that this works, according to the video, with your aftermarket head unit, not factory.  i am still waiting for that person to chime in and say, "ooh! iver done this with factory radio and it works!" but im not that lucky :P  i just thought, after i sent you the PM back, do i even need the antenna if i just have the module? thank you!

Mine is a factory Nav unit. I did the upgrade a few years ago.

wow!  did not know that!  talk about high rolling!    ill just not worry about doing this mod right now, although I have all the materials.  ill focus on painting my bowtie first.  also, I found a place called auto finishers llc in vestal, about 15 miles from where i live, that will put my factory color in an aerosol.  my question to them would be, is it good for plastic?

like i said, Im not going to worry about the xm aux jack mod for now.  if you find anything, let me know, please and thank you!
