Default Re: 04 Pilot XM radio

You obviously know nothing about electronics. Do you think the wizards
at BestBuy can disect your car stereo and wire in an XM auxillary shunt
for every make of car stereo out there? Not likely! Do you think every
audio system is going to have ready made hookups for XM? Not likely!
They will hook up an FM retransmit setup. Its easy, and works with every
car stereo out there that picks up FM, its easy, and theres no risk for
them.
