As in, ready to go. Just like the slick marketers selling "HDTV ready" displays. They'll do anything they can short of blatant out-and-out lying to get something desirable on the packaging. "XM READY!" it shouts. |

"XM READY!" it shouts. I know what "XM Ready means", i'm not an idiot... What i said was do i need to get the necessary equipment from Honda?? I don't think it's worth $600 when i can buy a XM radio with a car kit for less the $100... -- denis "your worst day at the ballpark, is better then your best day at work!!" |

Are the modules costing $600 from the online suppliers? I dunno. I'm just saying you don't have to buy them at a HONDA dealership. If you want to retain the integration of your stereo / steering wheel controls, (not to mention resale value) it's not too hard to install it yourself in an afternoon. That's all I can offer.
