Does anyone make a Sirius or XM radio that has the faceplate right on the radio unit?  Everyone seems to make a black box that is compatible with a multi-function head unit.  I might be able to use a plain old radio.  Antenna issues notwithstanding.

Thanks, Skip

I know you can get an fm modulated version for xm, pioneer makes it, you mount the reciever in the trunk area and there is a seperate display about an inch tall and three wide. You just mount it in arm's reach and you're good to go...less the antenna.  You can get it at best buy or even walmart.  I put this unit in my girlfriend's car, sounds alright if you're not looking for a competition sound, but I've got the cd player with xm controls built in and the same xm reciever box in back, it's easier to hookup and sounds better, but it ain't cheap and then you wind up spending more on speakers and wire cause it isn't worth it to go half-assed.  Good luck, any other questions? 

Ps. stay away from the through glass antenna, go with the magnetic.  The through glass made by terk sucks.
