Sirius in a 996?

I've had Sirius radio in my Audi S4 and BMW 330i and I'm just addicted to it. Now that I've gotten my 996 I yearn for commercial free radio once again.Is there any kits available for the 996? and has anyone here done this? maybe a DIY, pics, price for install??

Fm modulated is the only option I have seen as of yet. I have fiberglassed the control unit into the cubbyhole above the shifter.

Incorrect. For cars that don't have the MOST stereo, the Becker CDR-220 has an aux-in (line in) accessory option (available from Becker USA that I just bought) that can be used for an MP3 player or Sirius player. Of course, it plugs into the same slot as the CD changer, so you would have to get rid of that item.

However, what I am particularly interested in is how people install the Sirius control unit. Clearly, an aftermarket stereo solves the problem, but very few of them look as clean (finish and LCD lighted display) as the stock Porsche radio. I guess ideally, it would be nice to attach the Sirius module somewhere easily accessible but mostly out of site. I have had no good ideas as of yet since the modules tend to be bulky. Perhaps a removable option?

Sorry nycbo, I guess I was being general as most of the requests I have had have been for MOST equipped cars.
