No, you can get an XM receiver that works on a regular car radio. I have a Sony XM receiver with a car kit that just plugs into my cigarette lighter socket for power and has a cassette adapter for the sound. It's perfect.
Then there's the new Delphi SKYFi radio... better display than my Sony, cheaper, and has not only a car and a home kit, but a boombox as well. There's also an available FM modulator if you don't want to use a cassette adapter (the XM stations will appear on one of 3 user-selectable FM frequencies).
As far as the "how is XM?" question...... fucking awesome. I love it. I used to listen to CDs cause I couldn't stand the radio anymore, now I just listen to XM and barely touch my CDs (in the car, anyway). I also have the home kit but don't use it as much.
