    I just ordered one. It doesn't look like there is any hidden costs

    So how does this work? Says it needs:

    An XM-ready car stereo head unit and that it must be installed with an XMDirect Smart Digital Adapter.

    I'm assuming that the XM-Ready headunit can easily be replaced by our CarPCs and some software (i think frodo wrote something), but how much is the XMDirect Adapter? And is that all that is needed to successfully get XM to work (except for the subscription).

    Thanks!

    Jim
