are you dead-set on sirius? I would strongly recommend looking into XM radio as well. http://www.xmradio.com/

you may want to call them to find out if your radio is compatable as well.

Same reason I'm getting it for my boyfriend!  LOL.  I'm just getting my boyfriend something like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7442635&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat10400050005&id=1124432561952 w/the home adapter kit, so he can run it through the receiver he has and listen to it either at home or in the car.

I haven't gone to best buy yet to see if I can subscribe to Sirius through them, but if not, just go to www.sirius.com and sign up - they give you instructions on how to hook it up, etc.

what?  that's the most bizarre thing i've ever heard?!

This may be a stupid question, but does this have to be in the car?? Could I have it at home?? I would like to have satellite radio so I can listen to BBC and other stuff. And I gotta know what the crack whores are sayin'

Yeah you can have it at home..you just have to have a stereo receiver to run it through - otherwise you have to buy one.  Check out the link I posted above..that's what I'm going to buy my BF and I'll just buy the home adapter kit.
