Best route to SIRIUS on an '08 Expy?
Okay, we pulled the plug and traded the '06 (in the sig) for an '08 Expedition... it has the sat ready radio, but no module for SIRIUS... we also have a line-in...
So... should I try and get the module off ebay or somewhere? Or anyone have one lying around?
I had just paid up on a quarter of service about a month ago... they will suspend the account...
Any ideas?

Update
I called SIRIUS to cancel my service...
Long story short, they put my account on hold so no more time runs off...
Are sending me a free reciever, with the car install kit and adapter...
And a number to call to get it installed professional on their dime.
Could be worse, right?
I'll take free any day.

Bonus!
As it turns out... the unit is about the size of an iPod...
Here's the "bonus" part...
In the '08 Expy, I have a factory "line-in" below the A/C so I can have as close to loss-less signal as possible... I can keep the unit hidden until I need to use it, then plug in the cig adaptor and away we go.
They also sent an antenna adapter along... since I have the line-in on the '08 it works out that I can use the antennae through FM mode on my '99 F-150, too!
All I need is an extra sat antenna... or I may just keep it in a bag together and set it on the dash near the windshield each use...
Anyway, I thought I'd share the spoils of victory with you all.
Now I can have it on two vehicles on one code/unit!
