Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2005Adding XM to 05 Civic
I have an '05 Civic and I want to add XM. I'd like to integrate it into the existing factory stereo. Anyone have any idea what parts I would need? I know I need an antenna and an XM tuner, but I'm not sure what else. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. > I have an '05 Civic and I want to add XM.

'Curly' Never really noticed. Am I safe in assuming if it has that logo that all I need is a tuner and antenna and if it does not have the logo I would need to get a Roady or MiFi or something similar? Go to Xmfan.com. The forums there will fill you in on all your options, and you can find links to the equipment you need there, too. > Never really noticed.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. A friend has an XM receiver that has a line-out "headphone" jack. We tossed the antenna on the dash, and plugged my PIE adapter into the receiver. Some earlier thoughts from me: I didn't have to pull the radio out of my 2003 Civic Hybrid. After lifting out a piece of the console, I reached in behind the radio and plugged in the adapter. I couldn't see what I was doing, but it's a 14 pin keyed connector, so it's pretty easy to do. http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piehon98aux.html PIE HON98-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter http://makeashorterlink.com/?C1D73243B remove the standard Honda stereo  Signature--- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 |
