Best SIRIUS without spending a fortune

I have looked at various options, and I cannot find an economical way to integrate a Sirius receiver with my HK stereo and have the control you seem to have using the Blitzsafe + XM Direct. Buying the OEM stuff for my 06 MCS seems way too much compared to newer equipment that records and can even store your own music as well. FM modulators simply suck.

Am I missing a product out there? I want to control the unit and see the channel/artist/song info on the head unit and from the MFSW. I do not want to remove the HK system.

Having the dealer do it wouldn't be so bad, but the labor is ridiculous.

Nope...spend $50 on a nice sirius all-in-one and hook into your aux input, or $600 on a mini OEM system with very few features and terrible sound quality but has current system integration.

Or make the switch to XM, which is half the price of Sirius in equipment. Otherwise, the MINI solution is the only true integrated kit on the market.
