You can buy an adaptor which will allow you to go direct,however you may have to sacrifice (if you will ) your CD changer to do so.
try; www.xm411.com for more info. Their forum has all kinds of info.
I tried the FM mod route but didn't lke the way it sounded so I'm using the cassette adaptor and it sounds much better.
I've read about a few guys taking the head unit out and running the wire from inside the tape mech and out the back of the unit for a wireless look.
I'm considering that, but for now only the first inch coming out of the cassette door is visible and the rest is tucked away in the trim.
The newer head units are XM ready so you just buy the antenna/ receiver kit and boom .
