Just get the radio and the antenna take dash apart install new unit, call sirius with your serial number, it can be displayed when the deck and installed and you use the setup button. Activeate pay monthly charge and enjoy.

What if antenna doesn't come with the unit?, do you know the cost of a new one? can I get one from another source other than the dealer?. Thanks

Yeah what Jeff said ^^^

Cheaper place would be to get the antenna where you buy the radio, especially if you buy it used.

Yeah, most of the time, it's cheaper to get the antenae from where you buy the unit. I realize that some people don't want to take everything apart, but that's what makes a good deal.
