my kenwood deck sais that its ready for serius satalite radio and i was wondering what all is involved with that? what do you have to do and how much does it cost?

It will require installing the satillite decoder and antenna. I think most services are about $12.95 a month. So really, unless you're going to be in your car for extended periods of time on a regular basis, it may not be the best investment.

XM Radio is around $10 a month and for $200 you can get a receiver that will work in your car (with your Fact. or aftermarket radio) or it can be taken into the house and hooked up to your home stereo ($70 for adapter kit)
Here where I live the radio stations suck and I plan on getting XM soon and I will pay the extra to hook up in the house.

Here, it's unbelievable....cd quality music without interruptions of any commercials (with the odd "Galaxy 106", or whatever), and if your deck handles it, text display of the song and the band right on the deck...! Of course, this sounds like something VERY steal-worthy in an automobile, so I'd get a great alarm first....

I recently purchased and installed XM...very nice, but only because Bradenton, Fl is not known for its stations...that and the Camaro antenna blows...it will cost you 200 bucks for the reciever and antenna for XM...9.99 a month and a little extra if you want the playboy channel..very easy to hook up ...the antenna that i have is this little stealthy black magnet that sticks the the body of the car right above the hatch window...you get like 101 channels, and a lot of them are commercial free...there are soo many rock stations,3 dance 1 rap, a bunch of hip hop stations, mtv and vh1 have stations...tons of news, talk radio, decades music, and comedy well worth it...everyone is going to give you a different opinion man between xm and sirius...personally their both the same to me...they use the same sound quality technology..and alpine uses xm, and alpine rocks...by the way..if your cd player is not xm ready..then you have to pay like 70 bucks or so for a little head unit to add on..looks real dumb..anyways..there ya go..oh ya, installation is a breeze
