Ok, most of my faithful readers will probably not be interested in this posting. But you can bet down-the-road someone is going to want this information (I looked for it and couldn’t find an exact match, although I got close enough to work the rest out), so I’m posting it here for posterity, whoever she is.

I do not even want to explain why it was necessary for me to disassemble my favorite XM Satellite Radio, the Tao XM2Go, but it was (and I want to thank the folks at Giant, the makers of the device, and specifically Terry Uhrich, Vice President, Supply Chain Operations and Office Manager Patricia Biazzo for being so helpful in reparing my screw-up - talk about going above-and-beyond!). Anyway, since I was being crazy enough to rip the thing apart, I thought I’d take some photos so if there was anyone else out there who needed to take apart the Tao XM2Go, they could find this using whatever search engine and maybe save a little time.

Before we get out our tools, remember that this will void your warranty, so make sure your unit is at least a year old. Largish PNG photos are to follow, so for those on the front page, click the “More” to continue…
