The antenna should be easy for any of us to install. If the receiver goes in the trunk, it sounds like the car may be pre-wired and they just plug it in (Volvo does this, and you plug in either the Sirius or XM unit). If we know the location in the trunk and find a plug in, then all we need to do is order the parts and do the install ourselves, saving some money.

If no plug is present, then the dealer had to run wires from the trunk to the Nav unit, meaning installling it ourselves would be slightly more difficult.
The XM Receiver gets pluged into the Amplifer in the trunck (same install if you have Mark Levinson or not). The fit kit comes with the connectors, so it is plug and play. The only "wire" you need to run yourself is the antenna "wire". The Amplifier is on the right side (passenger side, if you will) of the trunk under the plastic cover. You have to remove the lining in the trunk, but it is rather easy, to install the receiver.

Hope this helps.
