If you use a whole-house audio system, you can use XM as a source and
listen to it elsewhere in the house. You can, as others have suggested,
use an IR remote to control a zone keypad outside the shower. A more
expensive, but built-in, solution would be to install a Xantech
WaterPad in your shower wall. The WaterPad is a fairly sophisticated
programmable remote, which can be programmed to have whatever functions
you'd like (XM, audio system, or other source control).
