Re: [Swprograms] New Eton SW Porsche Radios

Caution!  The antenna "module" for the E1XM and the P-7131 is 
different from the antenna unit provided with the plug and play 
units.  See:

http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/0101cnp.html

A number of "XM-Ready" receivers are coming on market that require 
only the "antenna module" (and a subscription, of course) in order to 
become functional.
