Thumbs up WOOHOO! Just got an XM rec'r and 2 ants.

...for $127 on eBay.

One OEM G35 XM receiver, one OEM XM antenna (used for two weeks), and one Terk Antenna, which according to the seller, was never mounted outside the car.

According to my VIN, I'm prewired, though I haven't stuck my head under the dash to verify. Looks like I have a small project this weekend.



OK, I'm through gloating now. :leaving:

If you're prewired you should be looking in the trunk near the Bose amp, not the dash...

lol... yeah, that's what I meant - left the "rear" part out of the phrase.

edit: ok, two strikes against the noOb. I'm going on 3 hours sleep today - cut me some slack. I just (re)read that the bose amp, and the sat harness, are next to the spare tire. I don't know why I had the rear dash stuck in my head. {banghead}

There is a thread on it somewhere, but the easiest way is just pull up the trunk mat, unscrew the one (or two) nuts holding down the plastic piece on the drivers side of the spare, and see if you have a connector sitting there. If so, you are ready to go...
