A:AnswerYou can use any type of powered speaker (a speaker that has its own amplifier and volume control) and must have an AUX input (3.5mm) audio connector.
A:AnswerThis radio does not work unless it is in the docking station. There is no way to "charge it." My recommendation is to buy this boombox bundle to take to the beach: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/combo/car-satellite-radios/1d113f50-3198-4f5e-a8f2-df848f3e5fbe
A:AnswerYou will need to setup a family account with SiriusXM. This will allow you to have your car account subscription and then add another subscription for this Onyx Plus radio, at a discounted rate. If you login to your online account, you can easily add a second subscription under your current account.
A:AnswerAccess the menu on your Onyx Plus and select FM in the menu. The FM menu will give you the option to adjust the FM Frequency of your Onyx Plus' FM Modulator to match the same frequency of the "dead" FM station you have found on your FM receiver.
Note, as you drive around you probably will drive towards adjacent broadcast locations that are also broadcasting on that "dead" station and this will eventually cause interference on that station. You can find other dead FM stations for that new location and program additional FM frequencies into the Onyx Plus but to completely eliminate all of this type of interference I strongly recommend you purchase the SiriusXM FM Direct Adapter model # FMDA25 and have it installed in your vehicle. Using the FMDA25 will ensure you will never have to change FM frequencies as you drive around town or even across the country.
A:AnswerThe radio price varies depending on whether or not is on sale or not. If you're asking about the subscription, SiriusXM offers Family discounts for additional radios added to your current account.
A:AnswerThe Onyx Plus radio does not come with USB adapter for power or audio transfer. You will need to either hardwire it in to your radio or FM modulate the audio into your existing radio.
A:AnswerThe Onyx Plus comes with a cable with RCA stereo plugs that can connect to compatible radios. If your Bose radio has RCA inputs these will plug right in. If your Bose radio has a 3.5mm stereo input then you can purchase an optional Aux-In cable to plug directly from the Onyx Plus home dock to your Bose radio.
A:AnswerYes, you can purchase a Bluetooth streaming transmitter from Best Buy. it will connect to the AUDO output from your Onyx Plus home dock and then it can transmit to your Bluetooth speakers. Consult Best Buy or Bestbuy.com and search for "bluetooth audio transmitters"
A:AnswerThe Onxy Plus can be connected to a soundbar using the included audio cable. However, the Onyx Plus doesn't allow full volume control so you will need to use the soundbar's volume control to adjust the volume.
A:AnswerNo, the only radio we sell that is Bluetooth compatible is the Tour Radio, SKU 6408173. You would also need to get the compatible home kit, SKU 6408108. This would work with your Bluetooth outdoor speakers.
A:AnswerYes it will work in your radio. We do recommend professional installation for the best sound quality and performance but this radio is designed for a do-it-yourself installation.
