You know, i bet that is the dealer price and about 80% is installation and software upgrade time. It is a bitch to upgrade out of the factory and you dont want them messing up the fit and finish. I would look into the iPhone method, seems the least painless.

SAT radio why??
Buy the upgrade to Pandora the audio quality is as good as XM and the music choice is yours.
By the way the new I tunes fixed the issue with pandora not sticking with the 6FL cable.
I love mine just did a cross country trip I was surprised that it even worked on edge.

You can also get the Sirius app on your iPhone if you gotta have Stern, or whatever.
