I think if they install it at time of manufacturing it's color matched. I've seen both color matched and silver on local cars.
Interesting... I learned something new. I have yet to see one that has been color matched. Can anyone take a picture of a factory xm tuner?? I need to see the antenna hook up!

So to do an "Aftermarket" XM setup are you guys talking about a whole new headunit? I really wasnt planning on that...or do you mean a setup from like Circuit City or something that sits externally inside the cabin? I was planning on cluttering up the cockpit either.

Hmmmm...this is giong to be trickier than i thought.

Well its better to get a new headunit. 1 hour to install for a newbie plus you will be getting mp3, ipod, xm radio, and better sound. You could just get the xm radio from circuit city or other retailers for around $50, but it won't sound as good. It still better than paying $800.

There's really nothing to see. There's a giant antenna on the trunk lid and the xm unit is mounted under the rear deck.

It works good but take that 800$ and buy an Alpine deck + XM and you would save $, get better equipment and have a smaller antenna. Prob. integrate Ipod too.
i agree get an aftermarket alpine deck, and get the xm add-on, you can mount the antenna in the corner of your dash.
and the ipod cable is also a great add-on!
