Adding XM Radio to a 2008

Can I Add a XM Radio receiver to my 2008 with what I think is the Enhanced Sound Package, AM/FM Stereo w/CD & MP3, RDS & Auxiliary Input Jack, Seven upgraded Pioneer speakers and it does have the "CAT" button on the stereo? If so how tough is it to do and where is a good place to get the needed parts?

XM Radio Upgrade Kit (w/ RPO Code UE1, w/o RPO Code U1C)

You can check the pricing on the internet or with your local dealer. For comparison purposes we charge $120 to install.

I had installed this aftermarket kit from EBay in my 2006 HHR. It worked just like the factory XM like I have in my 2008. I installed (and removed it myself) and it wasn't hard. I had gone one step further and added the factory XM rear antenna. That was a little more complicated and had a custom cable built to go from the radio to the antenna. The kit from the EBay seller comes with the magnetic antenna that works just fine. I'm just a purest who wanted everything to look 'factory'.

Is that a dealer install cost or a aftermarket installer cost?

That is what my dealership charges for labor only.
