If you go to the XM website, it will tell you what you need to get XM going on your head unit. You'll need the reciever, antenna and XM service @ around $10. You may need something else it your stereo is not XM ready.

You need to get the FM tuner (plugs in to your OEM HU) or a the other one which will just let you plug in a cassette adapter.

To date only Pioneer and Sony has these aftermarket tuners available for XM. Check out Crutchfield for more information about the models.

If i were you i'd wait for Sirius to come out. Why? Well, sure it's a few bucks more each month but they have more commercial free channels than XM.

Then again XM ain't bad at all

Just go ahead and purchase pioneer fm modulated xm tuner. Sirius sux caz it is 5 bucks more per month with 50 channels less per month There coverage is not that good right now. I got XM right now and satisfied!

I don't know where you got your info from but judging from each website's info:

XM - 100 channels, $9+/mo, some music stations have ads
Sirius - 100 channels, $12+/mo, 100% ad-free music stations

Sirius satellites also fly closer to the earth's atmosphere and there's 3 of them. XM's is using geostationary satellites. Though it's still yet to be determined which is better i'd rather wait until both of them are in the market and stable - then make a final decision.

Of course, your mileage varies

I don't know were you got your INFO.

XM is only 100 channels, hence there whole slogan:"100 channels 100 choices"

Sorry, my bad. I failed to compensate for their channel # skipping

They both have 100 channels.

Last time i checked sirius did not have 100 channels. I might be wrong.
