One more thing - installation was very easy. There is a wiring harness included. You just need to make two wire cuts - one for constant 12 volt and one of the power leads that goes to the xm radio.
I was able to install this myself. Given it takes about an hour to take apart the center console and the dash to get at the radio - I would guess the whole install would take 2-3 hours done by a novice like myself.
Another thing - the wire for the ipod is very long. I have the ipod control box installed behind the glove compartment right next to the xm receiver. I then ran the wire to my center console storage box. Here the wire comes up through where the latch to the lid comes down. There is more than enough clearance so the latch does not hit the wire. This means when parked - my ipod is in my center storage box out of sight. Also means I did not have to drill any holes.
