I had this same question, but regarding Sirius. In the end, I decided that it was easier to buy the tuner, antenna, and bracket kit from the dealer and install myself. Total cost, with tax, was $411. Took me an hour to install. Super easy. Since the 05 SE's are prewired, I didn't have to remove any dash panels. Much better sound than using an FM Modulator and easier than installing an aux in adapter.
