Wanted to post a followup. I had the receiver and fit kit installed by a local mobile audio shop. They did and excellent job. The instructions had the antenna mounted inside the HL next to the speaker on the dash on the driver's side. I didn't like that idea and the installer recommended putting the antenna on the outside. They ended up running the antenna down the driver's side and placed on the inside of the roof rail on the driver's side with the wire running out the hatch.
The actual receiver is mounted under the driver's seat. It is visible from the rear seat. The instructions showed a cloth cover that would cover the receiver and protect the wires. The fit kit that I received did not include the cover. I should note that I did not receive install instructions with the receiver and fit kit; I paid for the day on TIS to download them. I didn't like the exposed wires and worried about someone in the back seat kicking them, so I took it back in the next day and the shop made a black plastic cover that snaps onto the receiver.
Sound of the XM is better than my Honda Accord with factory XM. The only thing that I would like was the song and artist to show in the black band that appears in the nav system when a new song would come on.
