Can you expand on your answer? This system comes with marine antenna, Bluetooth dock, tuner with XM plus features, and can be docked on a boom box. What am I missing? Thank you
The marine antenna is not needed in our boats. Any of the Onyx can be docked on the proper Sirius boombox, however with the aux cord you can pretty much plug into anything. Further more, if your using a boombox, most likely at your house, just use the Sirius XM app on your phone (or AppleTV/Firestick/Roku) to your speaker of choice. I do this all the time on my Sonos network. The bluetooth dock might be nice but for a consistent and quality connection, I would stick with aux (if your boat has it) or a FM Direct Adapter.
Sounds good...I'll just go with the aux jack. I have the app on my phone, but I want to make sure I have a good signal at all times. Why do we not need a marine antenna if you could elaborate. Thanks!
OK, but since the XM radio is not connected directly to the Connext/Enovation setup, I'm going to assume the ONX receiver has an internal antenna?
So I just need a splitter for the antenna, since its wired to the Connext.....haven't had a chance to actually see how the audio is wired up on the boat. Some people say you have to connect at the swim platform remote, but its not a head unit. I'll figure it out. Thanks again
You only need Aux or FM, no need for both. If you go FM, Sirius makes a FM direct adapter that is plug and play t-harness for standard antenna connection.
