A:AnswerYes- you can connect your Onyx Plus with home kit to the radio. The Onyx comes with a 3.5mm to RCA connector, so you might need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable if you don't have one.
A:AnswerNO it does not. Place antenna on counter or shelf or speaker top facing in the direction of window, probably south and you should not have any problem getting good reception. Do not put it too close to a wall, The area in front of the antenna should be clear and not blocked by anything.
A:AnswerCan you hook it up in the kitchen? Is your refrigerator running? Only kidding.
Yes, as long as you have a place to run the antenna outside and have a home dock to plug the radio into it.
A:AnswerThe Onyx Plus or Onyx EZR with home kit can work in your kitchen. you will need to connect it to a stereo system or to a set of powered speakers (with an AUX audio input and must have a volume control)
A:AnswerThe satellite Sirus/XM unit must be near the audio receiver due to the component cables requiring connection for the audio out signal to the speakers. If you have a audio receiver in the kitchen within range of the satellite unit to connect to then maybe it would work. The biggest problem is with the antenna placement and the unit requiring a fair strong signal for reception.
A:AnswerThe radio has a single 3.5mm external jack so you run a male-to-male 3.5mm wire to your sound bar and use the remote on the sound bar to select the XM as an input. You can also use various aftermarket 3.5-to-Bluetooth transmitters for $20 or so and then broadcast to Sonos, Bose, etc Bluetooth enabled speakers. Pretty easy to set that up.
A:AnswerIf your boombox has an aux input, with RCA or mini headphone jacks, you can play your XM through it. Otherwise you need powered speakers or a traditional stereo with receiver (or amp) and speakers. As far as being in the country you just need to get the antenna outside and facing south.
A:AnswerI can't vouch for older Sirius radios, but the antenna and jack that comes with kit is the same as the one I bought for my XM roadie in 2004. I think it's called a female SMB plug.
A:AnswerYou can connect the Home dock to your home receiver or a set of powered speakers via an Aux audio input- powered speakers must have a volume control
