I know most new Pioneer HU's are XM ready, meaning that you just need to add the XM receiver and antenna. The easiest way to tell if your HU is XM-ready is to look at the front of the head unit... if it is XM ready, it will have the ((XM)) logo on it. If it is not XM-ready, you can still get digitial quality sound with either XM or Sirius if your head unit has an extra AUX set of plugs (like for a CD changer or something)... then you will need a tuner, receiver, and antenna. The tuner is a separate module that you would use to change the station. You would set your head unit to AUX, and use the tuner to change the station. If you decide to go this way because your head unit is not xm-ready, Sirius is offering free hardware that will get you the new Shuttle 2 hardware with a 1 year paid subscription (~$120 discounted if you pay a full year) so it winds up being much cheaper than XM at least at first.
