Default RE: XM Satalite Radio and Pcm

ORIGINAL: hoverVT

Xm does receive but then transmits to 88.9 on you FM radio and if you don't beleive this park your vehicle next to or within 500' of a vehicle with a XM radio and you will be able to listen to what they are listening to. It may be far fetched but I was just curios if anyone had similar experience

That would only be true for aftermarket XM installations that use an FM RF Modulator to re-broadcast the XM signal to the existing car stero. It is possible and preferable to hook the XM receiver to audio inputs on the car's stereo to avoid sound degration caused by the FM RF Modulator.
