Question sirius conversion

ok, I'm new to this... I just bought an 06 Cab. no nav, Bose,
is there a way to add Sirius easily.
On my 06 BMW X5, all that was needed was a "kit" that plugged into the existing wires that were in the rear, it took literally 5 minutes and a call to Sirius...then I put the antenna into the rear spoiler at the top of the lift window.
It came right up on the existing head unit..

There is a Cayenne kit you can buy. I think sun coast sells it. Be prepared for sticker shock and I think they have a few issues.

I had the Cayenne kit installed at a local shop. Works perfectly with PCM. There are lots of posts including the one at the top of this forum. It was expensive but I am happy to have Sirius.

Suncoast sells an XM/Sirius kit, so does mObrdge. My installer was able to put the mObridge kit in for slightly less, and had done that install before, not the Cayenne kit which had no installation instructions. I did the mObridge bluetooth/iPod at the same time.

Works just like OEM, it is nice to have sat in the car!

Nav-TV makes a kit that integrates with the radio. I have it in my 06. Works great.
