05 S500 gen'l q's

New owner of 05 S500 w 62k miles. Flawless inside, minor dings outside but paint like new. Anyway ....
just found out it is not equipped for satellite radio. Not sure I care, but would it be big bucks to get it equipped.? I imagine its something that could be done outside going to the stealer? Also, the 7 speed trans .. all seems well exc for occasional less than smooth downshifts. Going up it is flawless. Did I read somewhere that this trans actually skips a gear when slowing .. part of the design? Gives a slight jerk, not noisy or clunky .. ??
