Default '04 ES330 - Options for Satellite?

Hi, new owner of an 04 ES330 w/nav, ML sound... I previously had a Sirius Sportster Plug'nplay installed in my BMW through an aux interface and it sounded great. I understand the only option in the lexus is FM Modulation which I don't want. I'm also told there is a satellite "kit" available from the dealer, either XM or Sirius for $700 installed that works right through the Nav system. That seems steep.. as I've seen the kit advertised on the net for $100. Also, it appears there is an antenane to the right of the rear view mirror (inside the car). Can this be used for either Sriuis or XM?

I appreciate any comments/suggestions. thanks..

in the 04 you can get the kit from a dealer online. it is a factory OEM kit that the LS also uses too. its not $700 its only i believe $300? the antenae that is used for the sat radio is not on the mirror it gets mounted on the trunk, and its a yucky black placed in a weird location. i had thought about getting sat radio but for 300 bucks plus service i rather just listen to cds
