I am not sure how iceman was able to get the XM to work as I have had no success yet, maybe someone can help me out on this. After reading iceman's post I purchased for my 2009 Vision Tour Premium a XM Module for a 2010, part# 2877671 and the Wiring Harness part# 2876143 and installed them and then took my bike to the local dealer to get the radio flashed so the radio could be set to accept the XM Module, now this is when all of the problems started. When the dealer hooked my bike up to Digital Wrench, the program automatically read that my bike is a 2009 and then when they continued on to the radio portion of the program to open it up for the XM Module Digital Wrench said "invalid components installed" and the program wouldn't let us continue on. We then tried to tell Digital Wrench that the bike was a 2010 and get into the radio that way, but Digital Wrench wouldn't let us do that as it knew the bike was a 2009 from the serial number that it was reading electronically from my bike.... ..so we came to a grinding halt on that angle. I have since been in touch via email with the customer service department at Radio Sound (the manufacturer of Victory Audio Components) and explained the whole situation to them of what I was trying to do and that I want to add XM to my 2009 Vision, but the XM Module for the 2008 & 2009 Vision part# 2876115 has been discontinued and Polaris/Victory can't locate any old stock ones at any warehouse or any dealers. After a day of emails back and forth Radio Sound replied back to me to send them my bike serial # , the mileage off of my bike, the part# & serial # from off of my radio and they would then give me a return number to send my 2009 radio and the XM Module for a 2010, part# 2877671 and they would flash the radio to open it up for the XM Module.......at last the problem is solved, right? Well after about an hour after I received the email, a customer service rep. phoned me and said that she talked to another engineer there and he guaranteed that even though they would flash my radio for to be able to do XM, that the 2010 XM Module will not interface with the 2009 radio, so now I am back to square 1. So these are the options I put forward during the phone conversation and the responses that I have got back: - I said how about if I send them my 2009 radio and the 2010 XM Module and they swap the radio for the 2010 version and set the 2010 radio to be XM enabled and send it all back to me.....the response I got is that Radio Sound is under contract with Victory and they are restricted to exchange radios back model for model, meaning if I send them a 2009 radio in, I have to get a 2009 radio back, not a 2010 model or newer radio. - I asked if I could purchase a 2008/2009 XM Module from them, part# 2876115.....the response I got was they don't have any, they only made how many ever Victory ordered from them and not any extras and they shipped them all to Victory. - They suggested to me that I should buy a 2010/2011 factory radio, part # 4012272 from my Victory dealer.....I responded back that I looked at that option already and the problem is when my dealer punches in that part# that it comes up for around $800.00 when it was last sold, but there is none available in the system and to contact the Victory Technical Services. My dealer figured that if they did follow that path that Victory would tell them to get an exchange radio from Radio Sound....so another dead end. I also told the Radio Sound rep. on the phone that the other problem I would have even if I could buy a 2010/2011 radio from Victory, would be I wouldn't be able to enable it for XM, because after the 2010 radio is installed into my 2009 bike and we hook it up to Digital Wrench we are going to hit a brick wall when Digital Wrench reads that my bike is a 2009 from the serial#....so another dead end. The Radio Sound Rep. said she would look into it further and get back to me, that was 2 days ago and I haven't heard back from them yet. So now I am into the 2010 XM Module part# 2877671 for $449.99, the Wiring Harness part# 2876143 for $67.99 and $58.55 for the shop time they spent on trying to flash my radio and couldn't because of being limited by Digital Wrench. So I am hoping that someone out here can help me out with my problem.
