Default Should I keep the OEM radio or not?

Here is the dilemma: I'd like to install satellite radio in my 2002 S60, but this will cost me around $200+. If I go cheap and DIY it is still around $150.

I was wondering if maybe I should not just go ahead and install a good decent deck with MP3/WMA, equalizer, aux input in the front and XM or Sirius pre-installed.

Who has gone this way and do you have photos of your setup?

What would you recommend?

Thanks a lot!

How do you mean pre-installed?

The cleanest way to install a satelitte radio is to buy compatible deck and the appropriate module(s). All the sat rad info is displayed on your deck and you have no wires laying around.

If you buy a separate sat rad and deck, I'd recommend a deck with the aux on the back, again for a cleaner look. You could then also run a Y cable and an extension to your glovebox or somewhere for mp3 players etc.
