you’ll need the XM unit (receiver), the car kit (if you want it in your car) and either the home kit if you want to hook it up to your home system or the Delphi boombox that is made for XM radio…

XM unit - $93.99 (on sale this week)  
Home Kit - $69.99  
Car Kit - $69.99  
Boombox - $99.99

And the monthly fee is $9.99 a month and they just added 2 new channels and Howerd Stern is now on one of the stations… I heard they cut out a lot of commercials also.
