Several members have generously donated an upgrade to our XM weather subscription to also give us XM Radio. This article contains information about using the XM radio.


Remote Control

The XM features are controlled with a wireless Bluetooth remote, which ties into the MFD to select XM Radio channels, adjust the volume level, and display information about the current channel and song.


You can find the remote in one of the seat back pockets. It looks like this:

The controls on the remote are as shown below.


Using XM Radio


  • To turn music on press the CONTROLLER POWER button (A in the diagram above). In a few seconds it will connect to the MFD and you will hear music and see the last-tuned station and currently-playing song in the display on the remote.
  • To turn music off press the MUTE button (B in the diagram above).
    • Turning off the remote will simply disconnect it from the MFD and will not turn off the music. If you accidentally turn off the remote and realize the music is still playing, simply turn on the remote again and press the MUTE button.
  • To adjust the volume press one of the VOLUME KEYS (+ or - button).
  • To change channels press the PREVIOUS CHANNEL or NEXT CHANNEL button.

Note: The radio will automatically mute itself when radio transmissions are received.
