WELCOME 2 NICO!!!!

OK, first, yes, if its from a 2007 or 2008 Altima, then 200 is a good price, that's what I sold mine for... (they go for about 600 from the dealership)

Unfortunately, you can not get XM to work on that player without buying a few extra pieces. You need the XM radio tuner, which is a seperate box, and the XM radio antenna. The antenna is mounted on the top of the vehicle (the shark fin) and the XM tuner is a little metal box that goes in the trunk. Again, I do not think it would be worth it going this route. Also, the BOSE deck is a little bit different than the standard deck, so your music will be VERY low if you connect the BOSE deck up to your system. That has been the experience f folks on this forum that swtiched out the standard CD player with the BOSE 6 disc cdplayer !
