Well, I'm pretty much feeling like an idiot about this XM thing. According to my local dealer, the stereos came "ready" but to make them equipped you still needed to have an optional antenna and accessory kit to complete the system. Honda can set me up, for something in the neighborhood of $700. I think not. Thanks for all the suggestions an input.

This is about the same answer, when I bought my 2007. It also had an OEM radio, but the optional XM-Radio was not activated. I went ahead an got an Alpine CDE-SXM 145BT. It has CD player, USB, and Bluetooth... as well as Sirius-XM. So far, so good.

I did not add the Modifry kit. I didn't know about it, at the time. So no dash controls.

Alas, as with virtually all aftermarket headunits, it appears you need an interface.
From the owner's manual:
"You can operate this unit from the vehicle's control unit when an
Alpine Steering Remote Control Interface Box (optional) is connected."
