Default XM Radio/Delphi Question

I know bunch of you have either XM/Delphi set up. If I was to have an XM tuner controller ready head unit, what else is needed? The XM tuner + FM modulator + antenna? Is that right or is there more... How much wiring is involved, and all in all if I installed itmyself how much would I be looking to spend on the actual parts necessary to make it work.

Lastly, for those of you who do have it what parts did you use and anybody with an Alpine H/u? Thanks

to answer your question, you need ( as far as parts):
1. xm antenna (which goes on the outside of the car, they might have ones that stay on the inside of the back deck but am not sure)...
2. Modulator

Wiring that is necessary. Run cables from Antenna to modulator to Deck. About 25 minutes.
