Post subject: Factory XM converted to portable XM Get Alert
Archived from groups: alt>autos, others (more info?)

I'd like to cancel my XM subscription on my Chevy HHR and go with a portable
system that I can use in multiple vehicles or in the house and still have
the ability to use the portable XM on the factory radio in my HHR. In other
words I don't want to purchase multiple subscriptions to have XM where ever
I choose, or replace the factory radio in my HHR. but I've not found any
info regarding using a factory installed XM radio with the portable setup,
wondering if anybody has experience with this type of conversion.

The only way to do what you want would be to install an auxiliary
connection in the HHR and use a portable XM unit. (unless it has an aux.
jack already) Cancel the XM subscription for the HHR. Then use the
portable unit to feed a signal into the stock stereo.

I was looking for a way to use the built in XM features of the factory
stereo, but playing through the oem system speakers will work via the aux
jack, thanks for the tip.

That goes for walkmen, discman, DVDmen, I-Pods, or any portable audio
device that uses headphones.
