thanx guys... glad this was posted.. i didn't get anything like this when i bought my MSP, but i just called the ppl up and they're shipping it out to me and shipping was FREE!!!! no shipping, and no cost for equipment.. the guy was really cool... he said he used to have XM and it's a lot better than XM.. of course, that might just be a salesman talking... oh, and you don't have to stay on the full 12 months.. you can cancel anytime, and it just costs 50$.. which isn't that bad if you think about it.. if you cancel after 6 months, you still save almost 28$ by not finishing the contract.. the equipment wasn't 200$ though. he said the equipment was only like 90$.. but still. that's 100$ i saved.. i wanted to get it anyway, and now i just saved some $$.. thanx again for the post..
Just to update this, I just called the number on the first page and its still valid. The equipment is free if you agree to a one year contract and she didnt say anything about me having to pay for shipping. However she did say the equipment is on back order and she didnt have an eta when the parts would be sent to me. Could be tommorrow or could be a month from now. I dont mind waiting so i said ok. Anyways, if you were thinking of getting the sirius service, thats the latest.
I called about 2 wks ago and thats what they told me too.. Ill try calling back sometime next week then.jrodhotrod

I got mine in a couple of weeks ago, here are answers to all the questions I have seen posted.
You shouldn't have to pay a dime for shipping, I posted a thread with all the instructions and a link to the website a while back in the audio threads, just search for it.
You can paint the antenna, but you can't use any paint with metallic content because it will keep your antenna from working. So no exact color matching on the MSP, that's why I didn't paint mine.
You can mount on the rear deck, but tinted windows will likely interfer and your signal strength won't be as strong, so you may lose some reception in places that you might not normally lose it.

Mines on the rear deck and while I do not have tinted windows, I do occasionally lose reception when going under overpasses. I completely lose all reception in parking garages, but that's to be expected. At first I wanted the antenna on the roof of the car near the back, as many of the BWMs/Lexii have, but after trying it there, it's MUCH better not seen.
Plus if it's on the rear deck, people checking out your car notice it and ask about it. Then they get awestrucken when you tell them you have satellite radio.
By the way, the content is *GREAT*. I mainly keep it on channels 62 (trance/house/break) or 42 (rap/hip-hop) with the occasional 37 (bluegrass) when I want to act a fool next to a Civic with 18' aircraft wing.
