alright ladies & gentlemen - I bought the xm unit from Sewell yesterday, so should get it in a few days - 291 shipped with discount & TX sales tax.
Anyone else in the Houston area thinking about getting this? If so, I'd be up for an intall meet.

I just got mine from Sewell as well. Installed it last night, taking my time and did it in about an hour and 20 minutes. Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, while the directions from the factory were good, your writeup provide some nice to know details.
Sounds great!
I am an XM junkie, each of my cars have one, have one at home and listen online at work...

yes i like the online for the workday also...its nice when you are sitting at your desk to listen to XM...
UPDATE: as you see my posts above. i installed the XM and then my key fob wouldnt work??? so i actually removed the XM from my car assuming i would have to tow the car in to the dealer and wanted no evidence that i was doing anything. well i just couldnt resist and i went back out and gave it another try and it worked. only thing is that the car did fight me on starting then all was good and i have no issues since i got it to work. it took about 20 min to install as i didnt remove all the stuff in the trunk and i have a leased car so i wasnt as worried about it. good luck to all and enjoy!

Alright...ben - dude - if you weren't in Sacville California, I'd give you a big non-gay hug. Nothing sounds better to the ears of an accountant than saving 70% on something. Thanks so much for your work on this with the rest of us in mind.
I received my stuff yesterday & installed it last night. I'm a complete noob when it comes to installing stuff like this, especially on newer cars, and everything went really well. I took a little over 2 hrs to do it, going ever-so-slowly because my confidence level is almost zero. I didn't have a problem at all & it works to perfection.
edit: If anyone is reading this and wondering if they could/should do this, there is absolutely no reason not to - it's incredibly simple, really does save you several hundred dollars, and again - can be done by anyone.
