Do I need more for XM and what do I need?

[McOpCo]

So I purchased a Pioneer 8100 NEX and the idatalink Maestro RR with the harness for my make and model. I have a 2009 Tahoe Hybrid with Nav and Bose. I am trying to figure out what I need if anything additional to these items to continue to have XM radio. My car currently has XM but I am not clear on where the tuner resides exactly and if the Pioneer just needs the antenna or do I need to connect another device to this to have XM. I am quite a noob and this is all very confusing. I am alos planning to eliminate the Bose Amp and replace with a JL Audio HD600/4 to power my 4 JL Door Speakers and am trying to figure out how I don't lose all my chimes and OnStar and what not when I pull the Bose Amp. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks,

You should be able to use your factory XM antenna...but you'll need a seperate Pioneer xm tuner then transfer your subscription
