Depends on the year and the stock radio. Some radios are equipped with a jack for the Satellite module, others are not. Later ones must be programmed to accept the module or recognize the option. Look at the parts books, see what you have and search for the Satellite module on ebay or in a junk yard. They were usually deep under the console. You'll also need the harness if it's not in the car, the antenna and its wire.

If you have an aux jack on the stereo somewhere, you can easily add one of Sirius' displays. I picked this one up for $22 on sale about 18 months ago and installed it in my wife's Honda. Easy install and works great.

Pick up the Sirius FMDA25 when you buy your satellite tuner. It's an FM direct wiring "harness" that basically injects the satellite radio audio into the FM of the factory stereo.
You'll choose the fm station of your choice on the Sirius unit. You can change this as needed if you travel to pick one that has nothing else on it to minimize inference.

If you have a FM radio and need an Aux port this is what I did. Get a inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter. I got mine at Wally world as below. It gives you the added benefit of hands free phone and USB charging port. I use mine a lot to listen to podcasts over my FM radio from my phone. It works really well.

The AUX jack is on the side of it. Also has a volume control and you can set the FM channel to your choosing. NSAA.

I did XM / sirius radio for years.. What a waste of money.. There are MUCH better options.. Pandora and spotify come to mind. One of my biggest issues with sirius radio. We PAY for the service, they claim no advertisements, but the DJ's keep rattling on like AM radio. Mat as well listen to the local radio station. I prob have a box of sirius antennas / radios / adapters someplace.

I would have to agree but sometimes that's exactly what someone wants. A talk radio experience they can get anywhere, anytime. My friends dad has Sirius for just that. He's paid for it for I don't know how many years...15-20? As long as I can remember anyway. Listens to maybe 3 stations on it. He drives across state lines almost daily and it allows him to have exact what he wants wherever he happens to be.
I ditched radio long ago, was early into streaming. We also haven't had cable or satellite since the early days of Netflix and the like. That was a little rough at first but it's much better now and has probably saved us over $10k...

At home where I have unlimited bandwidth, I'm all for Pandora and Spotify. In the car, however, one is reliant upon cellular data and once the pseudo-unlimited data runs out, I'm stuck until the next billing cycle. With Sirius, I have Select in my truck and at home for $5-6/mth. I don't actually listen to the radio much at all, but that price I don't really care.
