got XM for the C5
I went about it the low-tech way; I swapped out my stock GM CD head unit with a cassette head unit. Now I can use a cassette adapter with the portable Sony DRN-XM01 radio unit that so many people like.
Not sure about antenna mounting choices yet... I'm still waiting (a couple hours now, grr) for the unit to be activated.

Re: got XM for the C5 (chadwick)
I'm waiting for my Pioneer DEH-P77DH head unit. I ordered it from cameraclub.com. The price was pretty good. I plan to change the head unit and add a Shosche BGM adapter so it can talk to the Bose speakers. I have the Plug and Play in my other car and can't live without it. You are going to love the toy. :cheers:

Re: got XM for the C5 (Villain)
It's working today. It sounds okay, but it doesn't really sound as good as a CD to me. I assume most of that is from the cassette interface to the head unit.
Mounting it correctly in the C5 is troublesome. I really want to mount it where the ashtray fits, but that might require a bit more surgery than I had planned on. :)
