Just buy a XM reciever. Should cost ~ $50-100 dollars. If you have the Fit Sport, simply plug the audio output of the XM recevier into the aux input. The hard part is figuring out where to mount the receiver. You also want to keep the antenna wiring tidy as well.
Thanks for the response. I was wondering more of where it could be mounted. Near the aux input, I suppose. Thanks for the help!
I put mine in that dish right around the aux input.
I'm wondering what to do with the antenna...I haven't driven it yet (I just bough tit like an hour ago) and I'm wondering if the antenna slides. I guess I could always use velcro, but that may look stupid.
My thoughts are a Sportscaster radio mounted below the AC controls by the 12volt adapter. While hard to reach and possible see the remote should make things easy.
I too set the xm radio in the little dish next to the aux plug. I then snaked the antenna wire under the glovebox, then into the molding that goes around the bottom of the passenger door, then same molding of rear passenger side door, then under carpet to the back right side. Then I stuck it in the rubber door sealer all the way around the hatch, and have the outside receiver unit stuck right behind the radio antennae.
It took me awhile to get the correct amount of wire to keep it tidy but that was the easiest way I could find to do it. I am sure it one took the molding around the doors off, they could stick the wire under the carpet all the way up.
The magnet on the antennae is strong enough that it doesn't move.

I just put the antennae on the dash when I use XM.

How is the reception when you drive north?
I tried having it on the dash in my F150 and Nissan Pathfinder and whenever the car was pointing north I would lose the signal, because the vehicle would block the signal.
I can't be too much farther north (in terms of latitude) than NJ, but I guess it depends on where the satellite is situated.

The only time I've had a problem is when I go under and overpass or a covered gas station. No other problems.
I just put the XM Antenna on the roof on the driver side, its the easiest... instead of going through the back of the car to put it up by the spoiler,,, also I bought A XM Radio Cup Holder Mount, yes it takes up a cup holder but it looks a lot nicer and is in better view
I found a mount that fits into a cup holder... works perfect and it's close to the aux input. Antena is mounted just behind the FM antena, routing the wire is pretty easy.
FYI, the Delphi SkyFi 3 is the worst POS ever made...
