    I have just purchased a 2008 with the package 4. I'm looking to add XM, but I'm not sure what direction to go. If I go with the factory I can get it on ebay for $280.00. It includes both 86180-0W030 and PT546-47060. The other option is the Vais which will run me $249 for the SoundLinQ SLX KIT. Plus 49.99 for the Terk xmdirect. So almost the same price for both. Can anyone give me some feedback on each? I'm leaning towards the factory since it is the same price.

    Thanks

    The Vais set-up has a nicer interface, smaller size overall and more display characters or fuller display information lines. Besides has the capabilities of external audio input switchable through the MFD or center display that we love so much.
