So I've been wanting xm for a little while now and didn't want to pay the crazy dealer price. I also didn't like the look of the oem antenna. After looking around for a little while, I came across an OEM tuner on Ebay. The guy said it was from an 04 Accord so I bought it. I had a terk 2 to 1 antenna splitter laying around and it turns out that with a little modification, it fit into the honda xm tuner. This allowed me to use my own terk mini antenna with the oem tuner. I plugged it into the harness in the trunk and it worked like a charm! Total cost was $50.00 plus the antenna and splitter I already had laying around. On top of it all, turns out that the tuner is still active! Wonder how long that will last. So overall, I'm pretty happy that it all works great and even shows text on my deck. By the way, I've got an 06 which was xm ready from the factory.

 

Wow! I'm thinking of doing this now! Could you help me identify the components that are necessary for this to work?

Thanks
David

 

Me, too, please.

 

Well guys, I have to say that I got a little lucky by finding a used xm module for an accord on ebay. But there is a guy selling the oem package for accords for $129 or so. Just do a search for "honda xm". When I get home, I will post the part number of all the components that I used.
