Northeastern Penna. | I am currently using the original sirius sportster sp-r2 receiver on my 08.It is plugged into the power supply in the glove box.The only problem is that I cannot change channels without opening the glove door or view what's playing on the radio face. I believe it is on it's last leg, so I'm looking to get a new one.Any suggestions on what new sirius models works good on the Vision.
Mine has a power suppply of 12v. I believe all of the new sirius radios for auto/motorcycle are 5.5v,meaning you would need an adapter. |

LaPorte,Tx. | I'm using the Starmate 5, have been for a year now. Works good in all areas. I keep it in the glove box. It's plugged in to the outlet. Buy the kit on E-bay, you get all the stuff you need. |

Pittsburgh, PA | my antenna is mounted on the left handle bars fluid res... i wish i was able to post photos on here. NEVER could figure it out... too much like work.. lol
btw the REASON why i choose a starmate 5 was..... i only pay $6.99 using the SM5 because with the SM5 you can hand pick up to 60 stations at a Lesser price.. i did this because i am already paying for two other SAT radio subscriptions, so i didnt want the 3rd to be full price as well.. i have sirius and Xm both. i only picked the 60 station ala cart package because i only listen to 3-5 stations in the first place! =)
