2011 XLT without the 4" screen, I have the intermittent flashing clock, no sound nonsense, so I'm going to replace the entire unit.
My question for you auto guys is should I just go with used OEM off eBay, or should I go aftermarket?
I don't need nav or anything fancy, but I want to keep my steering wheel controls and Bluetooth capabilities for phone and music.
Any direction would be appreciated.

Go aftermarket. You'll pay a little more than for a used OEM, but the sound quality is night and day. You can get an adapter that retains your steering wheel controls and bluetooth is common in aftermarket. I just installed aftermarket in my own 2011 XLT.

Am I right in seeing that I will have to get a separate XM tuner in order to retain satellite radio?
It's been 15 years since I have messed with any car audio...

That is correct. The old tuner is built into the factory HU

That would work, along with a SiriusXM tuner. You do not need an adapter for the antenna, just take the little plastic piece off the end of your factory Sirius antenna cable and it'll plug right in.

Good choice
