Looking to add XM radio

Apparently, things have changed and you need to buy like 2 pieces now to get the XM to work?

 

Does anybody know EXACTLY what I need to add XM to my F900bt? Model numbers or part numbers of the pieces I need would be EXTRA awesome... I'm sick of my same old iPod music!

You need the Pioneer GEX-P10XMT, or if you have an iPhone, you can use the XM/Sirius app to get it without adding any new hardware.

Yeah, I see there's two different XM modules listed...

 

The one that you mentioned, the GEX-P10XMT, and the other is the GEX-P920XM

 

The GEX-P920XM is half the price of the one you suggested. I'm curious what the difference is? On the pioneer site, it says the P10 has NavTraffic but the F-series uses MSN Direct for traffic, right?

 

I want the station logo displayed, so is that something that only the P10XMT will do?

Good luck on getting one and expect to do some hunting. For some reason Pioneer has evidently stopped making the GEX-P920XM at least temporarily and they are hard to find. Most online dealers including Pioneer are currently out of stock. I lucked out Friday and managed to get one of only three that Best Buy had listed in the entire Atlanta area.

There is always ebay, which is where I got mine.

E-Bay or Amazon Always has them (GEX-920XM) for about $75-80, sometimes even cheaper. It is one piece and works great, easy to install in my 08 Mustang GT. I was also able to use the ford factory sirius antenna with it and it works with no problems.

I checked out Amazon before I went to Best Buy. They wanted as much as Best Buy and they where showing an expected shipping date in 1 to 2 months.

Quite a few on EBay right now. I purchased refurb GEX-P920XM for $40 a couple of months ago and no problems.

If you can get one, they are great. I installed my F90 and P920XM this weekend and love it. The sound quality is great and if you have musical tastes that runs anywhere outside of the mainstream pop/rap/country there is so much more variety available. Other than setting up FM presets and testing the Cd player I have not listened to anything but XM since installation.
