I am sure someone must have information about adding XM Satelite Radio to this car without going through the dealer. When I purchased my vehicle I was excited about having an XM radio and I assumed that "XM Ready" meant that it was easy and within a reasonable cost. I think the sales person must have been on crack because she told me that the dealer service was a whopping $800 to add the XM "ready" service. Once I found that out I realized what the "ready" part meant...
"ready" to screw me over. Since then I have spoken with a couple of car stereo places and they have suggested that to add a XM receiver they would need to go in behind the deck to attach the hardware. This would be in neighborhood of $200. I don't want to use the FM transmitter deck as I live in the SF Bay Area and getting a good signal from a FM transmitter does not work. Thanks in advance for any advice.
