I traded in my Nismo yesterday for the limited Tundar with the JBL 440w and Nav system. The digital tuner for Sirius will not be available until December. The cost will only be $199.00 minus the install and thats alot cheaper than switching to XM. I am a Sirius subsriber and I'm already "jonesing" without it.Thanks, I'll do that.
Any idea if a Sirius adapter exists? Or are these JBL headunits only XM ready? I was wondering this because the button just says "sat." and not XM. But from what I can gather, the dealer says Toyotas are set up for XM. I already have a Sirius tuner and antenna, so I'd just need a harness if at all this is possible to do.
Thanks again
i suppose every factory option should be included as well on all new trucks? I see what you are saying, but its an upgrade.. I wouldnt want to pay for it if I was not going to use it.This is the only thing that incenses me so far about the 07 Tundra. I was told by the salesman that the truck has "satellite radio" but did not do my research. I got a decent deal on the truck, so I am not going to get all bent out of shape.
My experience with satellite radio was in a Honda Accord (XM ready to go, 3 free months and subscribe). I also looked at an 07 Dodge Ram that had a free year of XM.
Yet with Toyota, they can't do like other automakers and have satellite radio ready to go. Instead, you have to buy factory parts and installation just for XM. I am torn as it will cost hundreds of dollars to get something that costs a little over a $100 per year. The cost to fit and install to get the XM up could have purchased ALOT of actual XM time.
True, the Toyota may be better... blah blah blah, but I think this is more of a customer service issue than quality. Other automakers include it, but Toyota has to nickel and dime like Bank of America.
Again my fault as I did not do my reearch or I would have asked for it with the sale, or dedeucted another $500 or so.
Sorry just chaps me a little as I have been an XM listener and Sirius for several years now. Hard to go back to FM, unless you want to run out and buy factory parts on a $30,000+ truck!
No, I don't think that every added option should be on all new trucks. However, I think that if they have satellite radio it should at least work. You don't buy power seats only to find out you have to buy a several hundred $ part to give them power.i suppose every factory option should be included as well on all new trucks?

the aux. inputWhat about an XM roady, & plug it in to aux.
The Sirius tuner for 2007 Tundra will be available in December of 07. The XM merger is still in the planning stages. Since I am already a Sirius subscriber I decided on the following. I have the JBL Nav. and sound system. Yesterday I went to Circuit City and had the new Sportster put in. They used the cup holder mount and it plugs directly into the cigarette lighter and then the aux. input. The sound is digitalThanks, I'll do that.
