You need the unit which goes in trunk and programming. Look in trunk near rear seat to see if car is pre wired.

You'll need the module that goes in your trunk under the left side plastic cover, I think dealers run them at ~$800 then coding and a subscription to the service.

Or you can be a crazy person like me. Had an aftermarket unit and a lifetime subscription, so instead of giving up on the lifetime of radio we just made a custom mount and run the antenna up behind the rearview and the aux into the console.

I bought a mount from Panavise that sits near the HVAC controls and tied into the car's antenna - as long as you have the XM Prep option you already have an antenna.

I followed Blue Streaks install setup (second post) and am very happy with it.
