#159 of 163 Re: Sirius Reception [macmook] by barbskar Jun 10, 2008 (7:54 am)
Replying to: macmook (Apr 23, 2008 3:08 pm) I too have purchased a TCH and after much deliberation had the Sirius Radio installed by Toyota. The reception is intermittent and not up to the standard that I experienced with my previous Best Buy installed models. The dealership is giving me the run-a-round and insisting that the internal antennae is the only one that Toyota offers and the reception that I am experiencing is the best that it can be. Somehow, I do not believe that those of us who own the Camry Hybrid need to accept substandard reception due to substandard installation. I am in the process of attempting to secure a schematic and will have my own techs try to add an external antennae. Has anyone else been able to resolve this problem and if so how? The dealership would remove the radio and reinstall the factory radio, but I would rather get this right.   Thanks Replies to this message: ncalmike76 (Jun 10, 2008 8:06 am) iceman9294 (Jun 10, 2008 8:33 am)

Replying to: barbskar (Jun 10, 2008 7:54 am) For some reason I hear a slight "crackle" noise from the speakers, its the same sound as if the speakers were to be blown. The funny thing is it only does this when in "SAT" mode. I have a 07 Tundra, installed the same Sirius SC-C1 in the truck and it doesn't make any noise or "crackle" I wish I knew what or how to fix the issue?

Replying to: barbskar (Jun 10, 2008 7:54 am) My experience was the opposite. My Toyota dealership tried to save me some money by actually referring me to a 3rd party for the Sirius Installation. The 3rd party did what I thought was an exceptionally poor job. Toyota had the Sirius taken out and reinstalled it themselves (no extra charge to me and rightfully so). They put the antenna above the rear view mirror and my reception is outstanding.   I've had Sirius for about 5 years now in other cars with the antenna on my trunk and I'd argue that my current reception (next to the rear view) almost as good as as the trunk reception. I do get drop outs under bridges and when exposure to the sky is obstructed but this is not unusual. Over all I'm pleased with my Toyota installation!

I have the standard Toyota factory installed receiver. I had to buy the SCC1 and direct connect kit from Best Buy.com and get it installed. It was fine for the past year and now this week, when you press the Satellite button the radio nothing happens. You can only get AM. Help!! Neither Best Buy or Sirius will help me.

Replying to: missjazz70 (Jun 11, 2009 6:30 pm) I have the same thing going on. Do you ever get his resolved?
