XM Roady2 Question

TITANVA · 08-17-2005, 08:15 AM

I am getting ready to go get me a Roady2 for my Titan. Do I need to buy anything to use it with the AUX input on my stock radio or does it come with the cable I need.

Thanks,

TitanVA

You have to buy the cord to connect it. Any store you buy it at will carry the cord. do yourself a favor and get one as short as needed. Otherwise you'll have a tangled mess.

Any time. Enjoy it!

Also, some people have run their antennas out through the opening in the 3rd brake light to the room so it's hidden. I just ran it under the mats, to the rear slider and up to the roof. Either way will work. If you have an 05 CC, that may be a problem...no slider...lol.

04 CC. That's what I had planned on doing. I can't wait I get lousy FM reception where I'm at.

Has anyone attempted to amplify their Aux Input? Mine seemed pretty low when I tested an MP3 player on it, I've been using the Roady 2 through the built in FM modulator but would certainly like to switch to the aux input if I though I could get it loud enough.

Just goto Radio Shack and get the cable. It might be a little long, but I remedied that by putting a zip tie on it and made it long enough to reach where I mounted the Roady 2, or even my MP3 player that I occasionally use in the truck. I have no problem with the sound from the AUX port so no need to amplify it. My MP3 does have to have the sound on it turned all the way to high, and the Titan's radio up around 20-25, but it works for me

The Roady2 has an adjustable output. Read the owners manual and it will show you how to reach that function through the menu. You can experiment with the output so when switching from AUX to CD, for example, there isn't a significant volume level change.
I've had mine mounted for a couple of months now and I am totally satisfied with it. Far cheaper than the OEM XM setup and just as functional. More in fact because I can take it into the house and run it through my stereo system if I want.

+1 on the Roady II's volume setting. You can really crank it on top of the OEM radio.

We have a couple Roady II's but in my truck it's the XM Commander. I've got the stock radio and the Commander doesn't have a volume setting that limits the volume output, but I like the install without wires.
