What's required to get XM working with nav system in 06?

All the 2004+ cars with Nav should have the shared AM\SAT button I believe. All you need to do is get a hold of the factory XM kit and install it. Contact your dealer for the part # and then try and find the unit. Then activate it and you're done

I concur with a couple other posters here that having the AM/SAT button just means your dash radio is satellite capable, you still have to add the tiny box in the back of the stereo. This came as a huge shock to me when I bought the '07 RX350 and the Sirius wasn't onboard (oddly on a 2006 Acura TL it was ready to go, just a phone call to Sirius and it worked). Even the hapless Lexus salesman told me to have it done at a 3rd party stereo shop because the service dept will gouge you on the install. I even got them to cover the install and part cost as part of the deal buying the car because they could see how I didn't like the vehicle wasn't truly "satellite ready", when the Acura I bought from them a year prior was.
Expect to pay around $300 including all parts to have a stereo shop do it.
If you do it yourself, the units are cheap (under $70) and a simple Sirius antenna apparatus is under $20 on Amazon.
