I use Alexa (a gift) to listen to XM in the kitchen.
If I wanted to play through my stereo I would get a patch cable for my laptop to the stereo.
We have one vehicle subscription.

I have an older Pioneer home unit that has a docking station with a 3.5mm jack. A simple cable with rca plugs on the other end is what I use to hook it to my home stereo. Works great.

Yes, that is what I am thinking - tho none of the descriptions actually come out and say this and I have not actually physically SEEN one .....All XM wants to talk about is streaming and bluetooth !

But if you buy one of those XM unit you don't have to use bluetooth. You can connect to your stereo by wires. For example if you get the Onyx EZR with Home Kit. You put the unit onto the home dock. Plugh the wallwart power supply to the power port. Plug the antenna to the antenna connector. Plug the 3.5mm plug of the included cable in to the audio jack and plugh the other end of the cable which is 2 RCA connector to your audio system. That's all. They talk about bluetooth because that what people want to hear.

Yes, that is what I am seeing now.......I have an older Bose system with RCA jacks that I would plug into.

I, too, have a subscription for my car. However, SXM now allows you to use your subscription on any device. If you put it on your phone, you can use Bluetooth to connect to a car radio/entertainment system, or device that has Bluetooth…supposedly.

BTW, if your are a senior citizen, you can call SXM when you’re subscription comes due and ask if they have discounts for seniors on a fixed income.

Many digital wifi tabletop radios are also Sirius XM ready. They will require a separate subscription, however. Run them they their speaker(s) or as input to a receiver.

I have it on my TV, RCA jacks to AMP.

Another option to consider is to stream from your PC into an FM transmitter. The connection is a via a single cable from the PC headphone jack to the transmitter (3.5mm plugs on each end). You just find an empty spot on the FM band, and set the transmitter to that frequency. Then you can receive the transmission on that frequency on any FM receiver in range. I use a whole house transmitter in this way, but mostly use my ancient IPOD as the input. Occasionally, I'll stream Sirius from my desktop. Range is good enough that I get signal anywhere in my house and yard. Beats Blue Tooth!

I have SiriusXM Radio in my cars. With my car subscription I can stream from the internet for no additional cost. I also have a SiriusXM Internet Radio. The radio is connected to the internet by WIFI. The audio is connected to my HiFi system via RCA cables. Easy! The Radio is called: SiriusXM Wi-Fi Sound Station. This steaming service has more channels that the satellite service/


You can also purchase a Sirius XM radio and a home kit that will allow you to connect to your HiFi system. For this radio you must pay for a regular subscription even if you already have one for your car. SiriusXM is a satellite service and you will need an antenna. It may be necessary to locate the antenna near a window or outside for satisfactory service. Rain and snow cover of the antenna will affect the service. (This issue is NOT a SiriusXM problem; it is just radio physics) You will need a decent view to the south without significant obstructions.

If you already have SiriusXM in your car the streaming service may be already be included in your subscription fee. Another satellite radio is another fee.

I have an older “EDLPHI XM2go” radio that is portable and it has a built-in FM transmitter. The transmitter covers most of my house and allows me to play the SiriusXM channel through my FM radio.

I bought something to convert ac to a 12 volt cigarette lighter socket to power it, then used a stereo wire with mini phone plug to connect to my stereo. Works fine, using the antenna that was intended for a car dashboard put near a window in the house. However, I was not impressed with the sound. Sounded like they boosted certain frequencies to maybe sound good in the car.

Super easy. If you want to stream it with the best reception, they make a special squarish looking antenna that you run coaxial cable to from your stereo area. Then you have your external radio (cannot do this with a car subscription) in a docking port that you run your RCA jacks out of to your stereo.

OR....... Since you need to be a subscriber to Sirius XM to stream to begin with, why not just have it in your car, stream it over the APP on your telephone or a lap top computer and then either blue tooth it or use a mini-jack into your receiver. All the ways work dandy. I have a couple of lifetime subscriptions, (bought them over 20 years ago when the whole idea of satellite radio was new for a pittance) and now run it through my car, an external receiver with docking ports in cars, motor home, boom box and home surround sound theater receiver. Then I also run it through a laptop on to a different stereo amplifier and stream it everywhere else through my telephone. The possibilities are endless.
