I have a portable Delphi XM car radio that I have used in my truck with no problems. You simply dial the vehicle FM radio to one of a dozen frequencies to find one that doesn't have a local station broadcasting at that frequency, select that frequency on the XM radio, and ta-ta. You're all set. The XM radio sends out the radio signals to your vehicle's radio on the locally unused frequency. It's worked great for years in the truck.

The new Jag radio, however, doesn't have any option to tune in specific frequencies. All you can do is scan for stations that are actually broadcasting good, strong signals - which is exactly the opposite of what I need.

How can I use the Xm in the Jag?

Use the seek to get a weak station? Not scan, but seek. I would have figured Jag to have a factory Sat radio option? If your sat radio has USB cable hook into the auxiliary center.
