I am interested in adding Sirius to my satellite-ready radio but my dealer says I must first purchase and have installed a receiver and antenna for about $700. It seems ridiculous that I should have to shell out that kind of money for the "privilege" of spending another $15 per month for the subscription service. Oh, and he also told me my radio can only be upgraded to XM right now since a Sirius receiver won't be available for at least a few months. Does all this seem correct and are there any better solutions? I really want to control the satellite through the factory-installed radio as opposed to adding a portable reciver with all the extra wires, etc.
Thanks for your input.
