thinking of buying the pioneer inno xm-mp3 does anyone know if this unit would work on my motorcycle with my external speakers? thanks

The Inno has a standard 1/8" out, assuming your speakers are the standard 1/8", they will plug right into the headphone jack.

You need an external source like XM radio or a GM CD changer. Check the PAC audio website. They have several options.

I excitedly got mine yesterday, already returned it! The FM modulator only works well when in the cradel. The portable reception stil requires a clear south view of the satelite, fades in and out while walking. THE DREAM ...hear a song while walking, push a button and save it in memory. Later when in a car or near a stereo play your saved songs thru the FM modulator. THE REALITY ...plan on buying a headphone/antenea combo when they become available because you'll never hear a whole song while walking without fading in and out. Also, buy the car kit because the FM modulator in the INNO is very weak. How do I know? Well my ROADY modulates my car fine, but the INNO won't. Returned the INNO and tried another one at the store. Same thing, the FM modulator in the unit doesn't work unless you put it in the CAR CRADEL. Given all that, I'm going to wait on the SamSung Nexus. cheaper, longer battery life (16hrs!) but requires trhe cradel to receive xm ...kinda like the Inno!

Yes! It will work with any mp3 player either via bluetooth or the sound cable that comes with it. It is loud enough to be put on your bike too, the music quality is excellent.

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

Yes you can. The SiriusXM radio has a 3.5mm stereo cable output that can connect to external speakers

probably.. the thing is -- the speakers plug into amp w RCA plugs... you can buy extra rca plugs at radioshak and practice.. u dont wanna ruin the speakers that come w unit.. or just buy the amp from shark online.. its an ok system but not enough bass without a big subwoofer. guess bike radios are like that.. fm doesnt receive much but buy a 40 dollar mp3 player w fm and an auxillary cable to the amp

I bought one to fit in a 2002 BMW 1200lt motorcycle. I took a chance by looking at it but it works fine. The one for the mc was missing from the player when I bought the bike.

The unit has a usb and a mp3 input. If you can plug your xm head into the mp3 Jack it will work. Regardless, I would avoid this unit. Read my reviews-i had nothing but problems with multiple defective units and their repair company flat out lied to me about repairs. I would pay a little more and buy a better unit with better support.

Amazon still has Pioneer Inno XM2GO portable radios, new and used, for sale, and you can record on them beingthat they are indeed in MP3 format. There are still some very good used deals available if you want to save some cash.

Yes John. there are pics of the MC500 on my 05 Road King. I decided to mount the speakers on the engine bars and they have plenty of volume, just give them a slight tilt upward & toward you. im very impressed with the mp3 sound quality. if you record your own tunes add a little bottom, small speakers do not carry much bass, still way safer than ear buds. For the price the MC 500 is a home run, good luck, ride safe. the pictures are on facebook,

yes, it will work perfectly fine with output audio speakers...that's if you can get loud enough audio to hear over a motorcycle engine :) But otherwise, yes, there's no problem at all.

Yes I have hooked it up to a offroad Yamaha side by side stereo. Works great. As long as you have power from the stereo your good. Connects to any Bluetooth device.

To answer your question we strapped the speaker to our Vino 50cc scooter and rode around with Spotify on full blast. Could barely hear the music during idle, nothing at speed. But it sounded just fine while the scooter was off and we were changing the oil...

Should work. Majority of MP3 players use a standard 3.5mm/mini connector which the X-Mini has. I use with a Sandisk Sansa Fuze & Cowon D2 player & both work perfectly. This X-Mini pair also sounds real good for the size!

The built-in speaker is at the top of the transceiver, and works very well. I have not mounted it in my car, but it looks like it should work fine there also. If desired, you can also hook up an 8 ohm external speaker. It attaches to the back of the unit.

There are two jacks on this unit. On one you can plug in a MP3. And the other you can plug in your headphones. As to sound quality. I'm not sure.I have only used headphones. It will drive speakers.the rest would depend on the quality of your speakers and patchcord.
