Suggestion
in the 2002, if you don't want to replace the head unit with an xm ready head unit, all that you have to do is have an xm reciever remotely installed (which would have to be installed with the xm ready head unit anyway) and in addition install a tuner inside of your car, that works thru the fm tuner.

the reception will be perfect and the whole shebang, with the antenna, should run around $3-400, and maybe even cheaper with specials.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone installed an XM receiver in an 02 C2 with the stock Hi Fi Becker CD 220 system. I do not want to replace the head unit. Would just like to run the XM through the FM. Can anyone offer experience with this, do's and don't's. Thanks for any help.

POST 2Original post

why would you do it that way? unless you are using a changer you can use the aux cable and run rca ins

POST 3Original post

i installed xm in both my 2001 c4 and my 2003 tt. in the 2002, if you don't want to replace the head unit with an xm ready head unit, all that you have to do is have an xm reciever remotely installed (which would have to be installed with the xm ready head unit anyway) and in addition install a tuner inside of your car, that works thru the fm tuner. the reception will be perfect and the whole shebang, with the antenna, should run around $3-400, and maybe even cheaper with specials. the only problem with this route (not using xm ready head unit) is that your am reception, if you still use it, can be degraded.
