To try to answer both of your questions...
The install was fairly easy if you have any knowledge of car stereo installs. The wiring harness matches up with the port in the back of the radio... I also have the subwoofer, so there were 2 ports. The place I ordered my kit from came with pictures and instructions, which made it easy to follow. The hardest part imho was taking the plastics off the car to tuck the wires. Even that was fairly easy, so.......
Yes, the reception is great. The only problems Ive had are in parking garages, and heavily wooded areas... which is typical.
The SAT button on the stock unit should allow you to rotate through SAT1, 2, and 3. Once you get your xm/sirius reciever activated, youll be able to tune in the stations with that button.
Hope this helps! Its really just a matter of following instructions... much like assembling a computer desk or something from Wal-Mart.
