I know what "XM Ready means", i'm not an idiot...
What i said was do i need to get the necessary equipment from Honda??
I don't think it's worth $600 when i can buy a XM radio with a car kit
for less the $100...

Not as bad as things like keyboards and mice that are boldly labeled as
"Ready For Windows (current cool iteration)!"

Sorry, I wasn't calling you anything. Are the modules costing $600 from
the online suppliers? I dunno. I'm just saying you don't have to buy
them at a HONDA dealership.
If you want to retain the integration of your stereo / steering wheel
controls, (not to mention resale value) it's not too hard to install it
yourself in an afternoon.

That's all I can offer.
