The two types of satelite radio are XM and Sirius. They should be available mid to late summer. The radios are satelite radio ready. You still have to buy the tuner. There's no price I've found yet on those parts. The subscription should be about ten dollars a month. There are a couple of articles in the latest issue of Car Audio and Electronics. Each company (Sirius, XM) should have about 100 channels of music, talk, and news, one I've heard, will be DJ'd and the other will be uninterrupted blocks of music. I'm not sure which is which. So far I've seen Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, and Panasonic radios with satelite capability. I'm sure more are out there.
