Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2007XM Ready
Bought a new 2006 CR-V, with a radio that is XM ready... Is it true what i read?? That I need a special receiver that is only available from Honda.. Any truth to that??  Signaturedenis "your worst day at the ballpark, is better then your best day at work!!" > Bought a new 2006 CR-V, with a radio that is XM ready... > Is it true what i read?? > That I need a special receiver that is only available from Honda.. > Any truth to that?? ================================ Look in the install sheets aw www.hondasuv.com. You can install it yourself, and buy the receiver from one of many online sellers of Honda parts.. They even come up on eBay from time to time. What did you think XM ready meant?

Just like the slick marketers selling "HDTV ready" displays. They'll do anything they can short of blatant out-and-out lying to get something desirable on the packaging. "XM READY!" it shouts. >> > Bought a new 2006 CR-V, with a radio that is XM ready... >> > Is it true what i read??

I know what "XM Ready means", i'm not an idiot... What i said was do i need to get the necessary equipment from Honda?? I don't think it's worth $600 when i can buy a XM radio with a car kit for less the $100...

Are the modules costing $600 from the online suppliers? I dunno. I'm just saying you don't have to buy them at a HONDA dealership. If you want to retain the integration of your stereo / steering wheel controls, (not to mention resale value) it's not too hard to install it yourself in an afternoon. That's all I can offer.

Not as bad as things like keyboards and mice that are boldly labeled as "Ready For Windows (current cool iteration)!" > Bought a new 2006 CR-V, with a radio that is XM ready...
