Disclaimer:
1. I do not own any NAV systems...(yet)... I have not even stayed in a holiday Inn... but I have been looking and researching NAV systems to buy one.
2. This is my very first post on this subject.
Seems I saw that the XM system has to be closest to the headunit for it to work. I think it has some signals that are not passed thru the other units. (like the bluetooth unit.)
Let us know if this helps.
