What version of the Satellite Radio is in RDX?
There are 3 versions of the satellite radio, XM, Sirius and SiriusXM (otherwise known as SXM 2.0). SXM 2.0 sounds substantially better than the XM or Sirius versions of the radio. There has to be a 2.0 radio in the vehicle to get the SXM signal. Does anyone know which version is in the RDX?
Thanks.
Thanks.

"By employing highly efficient modulation and compression techniques introduced as part of 2.0 technology that effectively delivers 25% more bandwidth capacity, SiriusXM will expand its audio and data services without affecting the broadcast quality of existing channels."
What I get from that statement is that the extra bandwidth will be used for extra programming but not expanding the fidelity of all of the channels on their system. Sad I wish they would at least bump up the quality to 5.1 HD audio but based on their site regarding 2.0 it does not appear to be the case.

In one of my current vehicles, there is a SiriusXM head unit and I can tell you it sounds light years better than the prior iteration of either XM or Sirius. I have been a subscriber since XM was first launched. The sound of 2.0 through the top of the line Bose system (for our model) sounds really pretty good. And I’m pretty picky. So I would expect the RDX to have the SXM 2.0 capable radio and that most of the music station should sound decent through the ELS system. Maybe one day they will get even better if they can ever shut down broadcasting for the old XM and Sirius radios. But that will likely not happen anytime soon.
