XM Radio Help

After having Xm standard in my Denali, I want to add XM to my GT3. I always go with Eclipse but they don't offer XM. Any recommendations for a head unit? I thought about adding the Delphi to the stock head unit but I think it might look cheap.

I have the pioneer 9400 in my truck and I love it. Or use the delphi unit and flush the controler in to the are just below the stock head unit.

I went with the Sony MEX-5DI I love it. You will have a hard time finding XM tuners for Alpine Sony Kenwood and others because of a court battle between XM and the companies who make receivers. If you are impatient like me you can find one on Ebay. Delphi is in the works with a universal one that will work with all head units. The Sony is 100 after a 100 rebate. The antenna is around 60-80 dollars.Dont skimp on the head unit. Its the fun toy for the car. The sony I have has a full color screen

That is the most OEM looking in-dash unit I have ever seen, I love it. Only if it had a screen for navigation, and if it was'nt for MOST system, that unit would be in my car already.

I agree, I wish I could rig it up for nav although my friends who do have nav barely ever use it.
