XM Radio - 2007 Pilot EX! (Update to earlier question) - Click HERE for Original Thread
dmkraft
Ok.. sorry all, I have to update my question from yesterday. I have a 2007 Honda Pilot EX model w/o Navigation, which says on the radio that it is XM Ready. I called XM Radio, and they told me I needed to purchase an XM Mini tuner before I could subscribe to this service. Does this sound right to you? Does the mini-tuner plug into the radio or does it have to be installed somehow?

I figured it would be easy to activate XM, just call them up and they would send a signal. Apparently not?

Sorry for my confusion... :confused:

You need the base kit:

And you need the antenna.

The antenna would be installed on the roof, and the base kit would be installed in the rear cargo area near the sub-woofer. It's item 25 in the illustration.

Other than those two items, I don't know if there's anything else such as a wiring harness, etc. And I have no idea what the labor would run for the install.

An since it's am XM-ready head unit, you may be able to use an aftermarket tuner and antenna.

Don't the "XM Ready" cars already have the antenna installed? I thought (but am not sure) that all you needed was the XM kit that Jay points to above.

It's an easy check. Look on your roof towards the back center. Do you see a body-colored lump? If so, you have the XM antenna already!

Good luck,
Larry.

My '08 has the 'XM Ready' head unit, but does not have the Antennea at the rear of the truck, so it would have to be purchased seperately i believe

Honda has a liberal definition of what "XM Ready" means. Here's the XM kit installation instructions for an 07:
