#20 of 30 Re: XM Radio [caliberchic] by altimate Sep 23, 2008 (3:07 pm)
Replying to: caliberchic (Sep 23, 2008 4:37 am) I just picked up my Legacy today with XM.   If you by another receiver (for home or carrying around) do you have to pay a separate monthly charge or is it covered by the original monthly fee. Replies to this message: caliberchic (Sep 24, 2008 3:25 pm)

Thanks for the info, re: capable vs ready. Yea, it was pretty much as I figured, and I called the dealer to ask what I needed. I was told I need an XM kit, and it costs around $450. Now, I know I can get an aftermarket, dash/windshield mountable receiver, but I prefer not to have something like that since the car has built-in capabilities. I would rather have it all built-in and have the XM info scroll across the in-car stereo screen rather than something suctionable to the windshield. Are there any alternatives to the dealer's $450 kit that would utilize the car's built-in feature? Is the price for the dealer's $450 kit negotiable? I don't even know if that includes the labor to put it in! And I would presume that doesn't include any subscription to XM, too. Replies to this message: zenprofit (Sep 28, 2008 10:14 am)

Replying to: altimate (Sep 23, 2008 3:07 pm) It's just $6.95 per month for additional receivers up to 4 I believe.

Replying to: jdljr (Sep 23, 2008 4:19 pm) If you have a high-speed Internet connection, you can listen thru your computer sound system by logging into their website. You won't get every channel, but you will get most. And they are included in your car subscription at no charge.
#24 of 30 'Sat' button on radio by mourghan Nov 20, 2008 (5:55 am)
I just bought a 2007 Subaru used, and there is a 'sat' button on the radio. How do I go about activating this? And will I need to have an antena installed? Sorry if this is somewhere else on the fourm, but I couldn't seem to find the answer to this exact question. Thanks!

Replying to: mourghan (Nov 20, 2008 5:55 am) This is to access the Sirius channels. You need to upgrade the entire radio to (and buy a subscription to ) Sirius. It will include the antenna attached to the upper right inside of windshield.
#26 of 30 need help using sat radio in my legacy ltd 08 by tpatcomcast Jan 07, 2009 (5:01 pm)
hello,   I've been using a sirius sportster model, my wife bought me an installable kit for my legacy   the dealer installed it, but I'm looking for some of the features the sportster had...where's the 'memo' key or the 'band' key? are they not included in this kit? are they hidden somewhere in the radio features?   any help is appreciated.

Replying to: mourghan (Nov 20, 2008 5:55 am) I'm trying to figure this out too. The dealer told me that I had to have the radio switched out, but there's a SAT button right on the radio of my 2009 "satellite ready" outback? It doesn't make sense?

Replying to: m287668 (Mar 16, 2009 10:00 am) "Satellite Ready" means the wiring harness is in the back of the dashboard. You still need the satellite radio "tuner" and windshield-mounted antenna to complete the process. After 18 months, my Sirius satellite is used 4 hours every day.

I'm thinking that this is all I need. Has anyone else attempted to activate a "satellite ready" ready with this?   http://www.xmradio.com/xm-direct/index.xmc
