Xm In The Kenwood Dnx 6180?

How do you activate the XM capabilities in the DNX-6180? Is there an XM adapter required for service?  And if so where would it connect in the back of the stereo? I already have a small external XM unit in my car and I am just wanting to transfer my subscription from that unit to my 6180.

You need to buy a Kenwood Sirius module to enable Sirius/XM on this model.  The module cost me $150 including installation.  The unit itself is satellite READY, satellite is not built in.
