r8rs4lf Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Have they made this possible to hook up to, let's say my Alpine system? That would be great since I did away with my XM tuner, but am still subscribed. It would be nice to take it out of the truck and go like the iPod.

If I find out I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Looks sweet, but you need to buy the Car Kit for an FM transmitter? It doesn't have one already built in, like the MyFi or Roady2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of the XM setups have integrated FM modulators now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
