It's a $700 dealer option because installing it takes a few hours and involves tearing a lot of the interior out of the car. I'm including it in my purchase. I have an external Sirius receiver in my Insight....love the content, hate the controls - tiny little buttons - it's worth the extra money to me to have it integrated into the awesome Nav/Radio system in the HCH.
If you are way into disassembling your car, you can buy the kit from some of the online Honda dealers and do it yourself, but I doubt you are going to find a 3rd party (Sony/Kenwood/Etc) XM 'brain' for the stock Honda radio. If that's the path you want to take, check with someone like Crutchfield - they might know if anything 3rd party will interface with the XM input on the radio (doubtful).
