Hi, just wondering about the XM radio for the Vision. Can you use any xm antenna or do you have to use the one in the kit ? I use the roady 2 right now and have a pole type antenna made just for motorcycles.

Thanks, Bob Scott

Hi Bob;

I had the Victory XM system installed on my 2008 Vision by the dealer. Seems to me I had to use the XM antenna because it was all part of the system. It all installed very neatly so the only part you see is the little antenna on top of the dash. You might want to ask your dealer for confirmation. The sound is great and well worth the original cost and installation! My yearly renewal is about $125.00.

Agreed.. same here.. Sounds great and plenty of channels for those of us who don't have time to create playlists on an ipod..

The installation instructions have the antenna placed out of sight sandwiched UNDER the dash, which is what I did. Reception is just fine, even in my garage....

XM requires a dedicated XM compatible antenna. There are aftermarket XM antennas out there, but they are for one purpose only..... XM.

XM and Sirius are both satellite radios so you have to use there antenna. Like for cars they say put on ruff it makes for better reception.

My Roady2 uses an antenna that pushes on and off. I was told the antenna that comes in the kit screws on. Anybody know for sure ?
Thanks, Bob
