Adding XM with Nav package truck? tried search

I tried searching for :
"XM"
"XM with Nav"
"NAV with Satellite Radio"
And several other combinations….

I found a truck I like but it's missing the DVD and XM. From what I found the DVD is an easy addition….

What I'm wondering about is with the NAV system what are the options for XM and will the station, artist, song info appear on the Nav display? From what I've read the steering wheel controls will work but I want to be "factory" integrated with the display.

Dealer told me they NEVER order trucks with Sat Radio from the factory…because if it's got "AM" the customer will want Sirius…and vise versa…

Makes sense but I want the FULL FACTORY Integration with the Nav System so I'll likely get the Nissan unit. Unless there is a reason not too…

Also where's the "factory" location for the Antenna… or "best" if they do the install I want to be sure it's "right".

If you get the Nissan XM receiver, you can just plug it into the pre-wired N-bus cable under the driver's side dash and it will show the display on the NAV screen, and it will work with the steering controls. I use a Terk micro magnetic antenna mounted on the roof with the cable going through the third brake light.

Perfect.

Thanks!
