texman Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 i am looking at a 2018 B52 23 and wondering about xm radio in MB boats. the owner said it has bluetooth and then connect from phone for XM. what do you guys use? Xm typically wants a wifi signal which i wont have on the water. do you just use downloaded playlist etc? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would have to go with a universal SAT unit that connects with via a music signal only audio connection, much like a headphone jack.

texman Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 do the newer MBs have xm capable? we just got used to xm on the water so people dont fight so much over the music since it programmed. sounds like and rca jack to the amp and an xm receiver then ? makes sense to use the phone and stream since that will not require a subscription.
