How can I change from XM to Sirius?

I have searched the forums and the posts are pretty old. In the past two years has a better way come out to switch from XM to Sirus? I was hoping to replace the XM unit in the trunk and still have all of the factory functionality. I have a usa-spec ipod adapter that plugs into the XM receiver in the trunk and works great, I dont want to lost the ipod functionality.

besides that q is nowhere near b to keep chances of a typo low,
my joke was pretty bad, lol.
let's just compromise and laugh at xm/sirius current market loss to ipods and the future medium for audio and video, streaming!

hahaha, touché.
you got a laugh out of me.
imo pops has the maximum amount of sweetness i would enjoy out of a breakfast cereal.
too much more and it's dessert and i end up eating more of it than necessary for breakfast.
then on most days that i don't feel like a sweet start, original cherrios or regular corn flakes. i'm a very bland cereal liker.

Like Sirius has a package called a La Carte where you pick 50 channels for $6 a month. XM does not. They are the same channels but numbered different. XM Octane 48 is 21 on Sirius for example.. why they're so different if they're the exact same channels? Hell if I know.

Hey! I am new to this forum as I just purchased an '08 TL.

I have a Sirius Starmate, but I really didnt want to put it on the dash. So... I also searched for a way to get Sirius (I love Howard) through the factory satellite radio. I decided to go with the easiest way. I called XM to ask for a deal.

I got 12 months for $55.17! This is for XM plus the Best of Sirius. (I just have to remember to call them back before the 12 months end, as the price goes to over 200 bucks a month). The number I called was 800.967.2346

Hope this helps you or someone else...
