Default TSX Radio Swap 2004-2006

I have a 2004 TSX, non-Navi. I have added a portable XM radio (MyFi), run through the AUX input using a harness (no cutting). It works fine and I have only 2 complaints: I don't care for the way the unit sticks out in the interior, and I can't control the channels from my steering wheel controls.

I now have a lead on a 2006 TSX non-Navi radio unit that has the XM controls built in. So here come my questions.

Is this a direct swap for the radios?
Do I need to add anything? (aside from acitvating an XM sub)
Can I use the antenna I currently have installed?
Where does the antenna plug into?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They don't work for '04...or at least all the info and spec ive seen, unless you can tell me something different.

You must have an '05+ tsx then...?

I have an 04 (non navi) and i have the Dice Electronics I-Pod kit which has a aux in as well as the ipod connectivity. It just makes the deck think its a CD changer.
