New GS - what radio to get?

[t6pilot]

I’am considering a new GS1300, present bike is a 15RT, I know no radio is available on GS’s, have become addicted to satellite radio, what are you GS riders doing to listen to your favorite stations. I know I can’t be the only one
Thanks

Good luck on your future purchase! I'll something to the title to help with context and searching.

I use the SXM app on my phone to listen to sirius via my cardo edge. Of course need cell phone coverage to get tunes this way. Also have a few favorites on my phone for when I am not in cell phone coverage.

Yes, this is a problem. I like the radio and wonder wheel bluetoothed to my Sena with my RT, but I also have a Triumph Tiger on which I am relegated to the iPhone with Sirius or FM stations, and helmet Cardo. As mentioned above, this is dependent on cell signal, which is spotty at times. Also, it is difficult to impossible to change stations while riding.

So what are possible solutions to this problem?

I found a site that has some options https://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/collections/motorcycle-bundles more research will be needed. I was an early adapter to XM on the bike, I had a couple of radios before the availability on the RT. Please keep us posted I'd like to know how you work it out.

The Cardo comm system has FM built in and I am sure Sena does as well, so radio should be covered. The XM app ought to work fine to as previously mentioned. YMMV
