Well if you have an Alpine radio you need to buy Alpine's XM box. Antenna wise I think that Alpine makes one at this point, I just use a Trek one. The Antenna is up to you what ever you think looks best I have heard any bad things between the different antennas.
Rough guess on prices: XM Box - $250 Antenna - $50 to $100 |

You can pick up a tuner for about $199 about now, at least that is what we sell them for at work. You can use a terk XMMicro which is a super small antenna for $29 which requires a $15 splitter since the tuner takes a 2 wire input and most xm antennas are now 1 wire.
