XM on Carputer THE GUIDE

XM only works in the Continental USA. No Europe, No Asia, and nothing else... Sorry!

Just wondering, would u guys want us at hybrid to offer a simpler cheaper lite version of our cable for car pc only (no AC power supply or led power lights)?
If so I can have them ready in less than a week

this post is for anyone w/ the via board and the Sound blaster aud. 2 card thats having problems with their xm unit....you need to go into the bios settings and disable your onboard sound and use the line in on the sound card itself.....i know it was a pain in the a** for me to figure out and it was a simple solution that seemed to take me forever to think of and i wasted hours of pointless reading....i hope this post will save someone a lot of time and effort

Woot! Got mine to work =)) I may make some of these cables if anyone is interested. I bought 10 of everything cause i live so far away from anywhere and gas is so high lol. Nailed it my second attempt =)

I made my cable and hooked it up. I have the comander. The problem I am having is that windows XP Pro SP 2 is finding it to be a serial mouse. How do I make it not be a serial mouse?

Edit: Nevermind.....Got it to work. Thanks Frodo for the program.

for anyone else who has this problem all you need to go is go to start=>settings==>control panel==>Mouse==>Hardware==>Properties then look bottom right and select disable in the drop menu should be good to go. You may need to reboot. (it will not find anything this time and thats how it suspose to be.)

1st the computer found it as a serial mouse.
2nd i soldered the first set of cables wrong (tried to put to cables together). The next batch i made i used one cord and soldered it to the other cable end and and works fine.

I ended up getting it working by messing around with it a bunch and then changing some settings in Road Runner and Frodo's Sat app (specifying com port 1 basically)..
