Question Wait to get Xm/serius?

[bpowers]

Looking to install xm/serius to my 08 with factory nav. I've heard there are new radios/recievers coming out that will let you get all the channels of both? Or can I do that now with current products out there? Logic says to wait a little longer till the merger smooths out a little more. any thoughts?

The combined channels package is available now, on the existing equipment.

The Serius/XM merger was completed many months ago.

The latest news is as of last week, Serious/XM has avoided bankruptcy by selling 40% ($530 million) of the company to Liberty Media Corp.

BTW, Serius/XM stock closed Friday at $.145 per share, up $.015!

Not to hijack, but a coworker of mine wanted to add sirius but was told by Toyota that she could only add XM because the sirius "tuner" is no longer being made. Is this true? I added an aftermarket radio to my tundra so I am not familiar with using the stock radio to support sirius. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Sorry vehicle is a 2008 Sequoia Limited with no Nav.

I have the Toyota, Sirius hardware in my '08 Plat. w/ nav.

I havent heard that the hardware has been discontinued. Maybe the latest hardware is branded 'XM/Sirius'? I can't imagine the new stuff would only be branded 'XM'.

Or, maybe Toyota has a lot of "pre-merger" XM radios they are trying to get rid of.

Do you happen to have the info on what was installed for you to have sirius?

I'd have to dig up the paperwork for the part #'s, but. . .

The factory nav sys has the sat radio input button, we just had the Sirius tuner & an antenna added.
