[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1248798, member: 8712"] Do you have to pay for a satellite subscription with the Zumo? If so, how about picking up a used Skyfi or something on eBay for minimal cost and transferring the sub over to that? I have my Skyfi2 car cradle mounted to a Ram ball on the center nut and, along with a [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Sirius-Satellite-Radio-Motorcycle-Antenna/dp/B002HTRELU"]m/c specific antenna[/URL], have rarely had a reception problem. The 590 sits on the left side bar. I would second everything Tom and Scott wrote above about the unit. As a long-time XM listener I didn't want lose that on the bike but I have found myself listening to Pandora more and more instead. Just too easy with the 590 and even though you can run the XM unit through the GPS, you can't control the channels or volume through it. Granted, I do have an unlimited data plan which helps tremendously. [/QUOTE]
