you need to find out if your car is pre-wired for the factory sirius. you're looking for a purple antenna connector in the left rear of the trunk behind the grey panel. if you have that, you can get the sirius module from any of the online parts suppliers, plug it in, then take the car to the dealer for coding (load into idrive).
