Post # 24 will answer a few of your questions. The fatory XM unit will not work with the Pioneer. You will also need an antenna adaptor and the headunit installation should take just a few hours.

Also look at the FAQ/ How To's for a library of useful info :cool:

would i be able to use the subwoofer?

if the xm unit not usable, can i take it off, where is it?

where and what do i get for the radio antenna adapter?

Yes, there are several threads about subwoofer hook-up. Look at the stickies in the "electronics" section.
The factory XM is loated behind rear passenger panel in the back of the vehicle.
I got my antenna adapter at Best Buy. Note, the factory antenna is powered so it will have to be hooked up to 12v when wiring the harness.
