Adding XM and phone interface

[videoarizona]

Thought I should add my recent info in a new post here:

 

First, when I bought my 05 RSV, the PO gave me an XM interface system and a phone interface system. Yesterday I installed the XM system.

Went well. Put the power supply and antenna in the fairing on left side and ran the power, antenna and stereo mini jack cable for audio underneath the fairing, up the left handlbars and ran them through the cable ties to the XM docking station on the handlbars. Took power from the 12volt wires leading to the aux power connector on the fairing. For the antenna, simply tie-tied it to a cable loom near the top of the fairing..pointing it upright and used 3M two-sided tape to hold it to the inner fairing. For the audio, I bought a one into two cable, about 4 inches long. Unplugged the AUX input cable prior to amp and plugged in the XM audio into the 1 into two cable and then the AUX input back into the other side. I will never be using both the AUX input by the cassette and the XM at same time so I'm good. This works really well...

 

The pic shows a clean installation with all cables running with stock harness down under the dash. The XM receiver is in it's bag in the trunk until needed. If you have good eyes, you can see a 2 pin power plug sticking out from under the bars. It's simply plugged into the 12 volt aux power under the fairing. It's sitting there if I do decide to add an MP3 player there as well. The MP3 player audio would end up being plugged into the aux input plug near cassette.

 

So XM is done.

 

There has been new talk about a telephone interface for our stock intercom/stereo systems. I posted the info on another post but will re-post it here. AFAIK, this interface should work with both 1st and 2gen scoots. The only differences may be the power cable, phone cable (of course - different phones) and maybe the length of the 5 pin dins.

Previous post:

 

"Kennedy Technology Group made a device that plugs into the 5-pin DIN plug system of the first or second generation ventures. Part number I have here is KTG 95297 and it's made in the USA. I have no clue if they're still around they were in Rose Hill Kansas so and I think their website was www.cellset.com. I have one. Came with bike. Not installed yet."

 

power cable upper right, phone mini jack plug on lower right and the two 5 pin DIN plugs to plug into stock intercom system on lower left.

 

I haven't installed the telephone interface and probably will not. When I'm riding, I prefer to be incommunicato to the World. I use the CB to talk to riding buddies.

Hope this helps...

You can use the edset unit. Use gps Bluetooth to phone, bought a multi port 3.5 mm booster. Plug XM,gps, and anything else into booster. Works like a champ.

Update:

 

Moved xm antenna to right side of inner fairing. Better reception for some reason....
