jc99 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just bought a brand new GSA 1200..first time poster Has anyone tried mounting a sirius radio on their bike? any tips or advice would be helpful. Can standard ipod type connector headphones be used? can more than one person listen at a time via headphones? Al made me a nice pair of earplugs/headphones that i would love to use with the sirius radio... Link to comment
Armando Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 jc99 I have had a Sirius radio installed for over 2 years. The unit is not waterproof but I took care of that with a sandwich plastic bag over it. I have it hooked up to my Autocom which allows me and a pillion to listen in (never did ride with a pillion though). I will be removing it in the next couple of weeks because my subscription ran out. Now, I will look for the puck to connect to my Zumo. Link to comment
frenchwv Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Get a Zumo. Why buy a separate radio when you can do the puck antenna for the Zumo? It's waterproof and integrates with the GPS. It's XM and not Sirius, but you can get the Best of Sirius package with your subscription. Link to comment
tallman Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 ditto on above. Using an Autocom both of us can listen to XM/cell/GPS etc. No weather problems that way. Link to comment
jjg3 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Have had a sirius for several years. Works great on the R/RT and, although it's not waterproof, I've tired of putting a bag on it so now I just leave it in the rain and it's done fine in several downpours. But each unit is different.

jc99 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I have a lifetime subscription to sirius so it has to be sirius... Armando which model radio did you get? Link to comment
Armando Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 jc99 - The radio I have is a Streamer GT. I think it is a few years old as I bought it used on this board (with the service still on it!!!). As I said above, it is coming off in the next few days as the service ran out (hint - will sell it cheap ). Link to comment

Angel Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 JC99, I have a Stratus 6 model: http://www.myradiostore.com/sirius/sirius-receivers/sicarre/stratus6.html Power is connected through the cig lighter adapter that came with the S6 kit. It's connected into female plug that is wired to a fusebox under the seat. Link to comment
