i just installed xm direct with the blitzsafe adapter. I think that all the MCS are satellite ready. It was surprisingly easy. Didn't go through the OEM aerial. Cost me 211 minus he 50 dollar rebate.

If you are looking for integrated service you have to go with Sirius.

As already has been said yep your MINI is XM ready.

You will need an XM direct receiver & a Blitzsafe adapter. Both the XM direct & blitzsafe fit in the right side compartment in the boot. It's about a 30 minute install. The XM plays through & is controlled by your radio & steering buttons. I'm loving mine.

EDIT.... XM Direct, FREE after rebate!!!

Have mine through blitzsafe and XM direct as well and am really enjoying it. Got mine from EAS and service was ok.
