I have an 03 so my only choice was after-market. I've had a Sirius receiver for about a year. It's an external unit that sits in a cradle you suction-cup to the windshield. The cradel broadcasts on an FM frequency - tune your radio and away you go. Hardware was $100 at the time. It works great, although I had to remove my FM antenna from the roof - was picking up interference in places. That solved the problem - I get a nice, clear signal. It's not a bad setup - think of all the fun you can have with the extra $800.
I also wonder how much of that cost is the antenna install. You need an antenna that can see the sky - if they didn't pre-wire it that could also be another reason for the cost.
