Thread: Honda Civic Hybrid Owners: Meet the Members - CarSpace Automotive Forums

I just bought a used 2006 HCH with Navi - it says it's XM ready, but I can't seem to find any activation instructions. I already have XM in my wife's Acura, but this one has me stumped.

I've had my 2006 HCH for a little over 3 years now. It has been a great ride. I've managed to put 32,000 miles on it.

I drive mainly to work (about 11 miles total per day), it's stop and go traffic. In the colder/snowy months...
