Xm Radio
I want XM radio on my FRS. I don't want to change my head unit. I have the 2014 Deck. Can I do it? I feel like you can since there's a few options in source that still aren't being used.
I searched XM but nothing popped up on the site.

Does the 14 come with the pioneer system that was optional on the 14? If so then just ask your dealer, they'll hook it up for you.

I went from the 13 to the 14 unit and they look identical regarding connections in the back. Therefore I would assume this should work.

I use a portable XM unit that is plugged into the audio input jack and powered by the 12V jack in the cupholder area. I use a short 2' XM antenna that I place in the coin tray. An insert was placed into the coin tray with a thin peice of metal behind it for the antenna magnet to stick to. I have an arm-rest that covers tbe portable XM Radio, dock and power to make it less visible.

been there....done that.
I just went thru this this week with my 2014 with the base touchscreen headunit. Local stereo place couldn't get their Sirius kit to work with it....headunit just didn't have a way for a satellite input to work.
So I took it to the dealer, they said they had a kit (looked just the the pieces that the stereo place had) that they said some other dealerships had gotten to work. After a day's work... no-go. Dealership ended up contacting the place that had told them it would work and...oh, sorry, we were wrong....the base touchscreen unit on the 2014 frs will not accept a satellite input. End of story. Just will not work with this unit. Oh, they could put in a 2013 frs unit (non-touchscreen) that would take satellite, but it would still cost $400 for the kit and about $300 for installation. Or they could install a BeSpoke (big $). For less than that price I can get an aftermarket Pioneer that will work with satellite. So now I'm left with either doing without, adding a satellite antenna and hooking my old Sirius Starmate into the aux plug, or getting an aftermarket headunit. Can't understand why they would upgrade the headunit from '13 to a touchscreen for '14, but downgrade the flexibility of it to accept satellite. Stupid.
