    If you already have the hardware, like a GPS or in panel MFD then XM weather is the way to go.

    If you need the hardware too, the Garmin 696,496 are good. So are the Bendix King AV8or units. The cost of these range from about $700 up to $4000.

    The weather service will cost either $29/mo or $49/month depending on what services you want and what you can live without
