I have Sirius installed in my car and I love it. Installation is not hard. I have my antenna mounted in my car on the rear decklid. Silent has XM mounted the same way. It works pretty well, I only drop siginal when I am around tall objects or under a tunnel or something.

I would recomend getting a new head unit (you can get CD player with mp3 for like $150 installed at bestbuy) and then just plug in the XM tuner into the aux jack in the aftermarket HU. This will give you full digital sound. I have an old head unit, so for now I am using an FM modulator. That works well too, it still sounds 10x better than regular radio. Also, if you're getting XM, get the Delphi unit Skyfi or whatever it's called. That or the new one that is similar. I am going to upgrade to the Sirius Audiovox unit similar to the delphi one.

Also, if you have a friend with XM, you can add on your car as a family account and only pay $6/month.
