+1.

Thought of the day "If only I had powered it up BEFORE I installed it."

This will be funny next winter.

That is a serious problem. Sorry couldn't resist. If that were me I would not be able to ride for the rest of summer as I would have torn out all wiring in frustration, or the bike would have gone up in flames as soon as I powered it up.

That sucks... I have been through projects like that, hope you get everything sorted out!

Isn't Sirius the Dog Star? Maybe you forgot to hook up the woofer.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist either.)

i feel better now took my Radio to Radio Shack and it works on there system, its got to be the STUPID lighter adapter they send with the radio. course i checked the fuse first time and it was blown, but further examination they had put a 5A quick start in it, instead of a 2A slow blow. DOH

Alls well that ends well?

I had a similar problem when I installed Sirius on the VTX I used to own. But, once I got everything working properly, I absolutely loved having it on the bike. I'm installing it on my Nomad this weekend.
