Can I add XM to my monsoon sound system in my 2005 Pontiac Grand AM?

Question

My monsoon sterio system did not come equipped with XM can I Equip it some how without using an fm transmitter? It does not have a tape player either. I actually want to control the xm stations on the stereo and just be able to get there using the band button. just as if it had come "xm ready". Is this possible. I hope someone knows how because I am getting frustrated

Answer 1

...or if your HU isn't XM ready then an added display console on your dash to display XM stations can also work. They make a model that connects "in-line" to your antenna of your stock HU. You just tune to a specific frequency on the radio and you have it. You won't get interference from other radio stations because the signal from the XM is "injected" directly to your HU.

Answer 2

It can't be done, dude, but that's good. If u could do it you'd only have 6 presets fo XM, and they have over 160 channels. You'd be surfing all day long. I think you'd be better off trying to modify ur dash to accomodate an '06 Monsoon 6 CD , AM, FM, XM unit from a G6. XM is definitely worth it, even if u have to settle for using the FM transmitter.

CAR DEALERS TELL YOU THAT NO IT IS NOT POSIBLE BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE

if you have a BAND button your radio is xm ready you only need the xm tunner cable interface and the antenna all the xm information ,artis,song name will show on the display of your factory radio
