You get all the available XM radio stations if you get XM installed and activate the service.

Love my XM... have a 2007 TCH and hate my nav... but love all the options (that do work) that comes with the nav set. Regarding XM... the justice department just approved the Sirius/XM merger... The FCC has been asked to speed up approval as it is slowing down satelite radio sales while people are waiting to see what the new Sirius will be offering and how it will be merging XM. I have both. Hope this helps.

Just picked up my new '08 by remard

I just picked up my new '08 Camry and got a great deal. The car is awesome. If you're interested in buying a hybrid at a good price now is the time. You can get invoice pricing, $1000 cash back, and good deals on financing.
 
I know I probably sound like a salesman but I'm not. Just very happy with my car and the deal I got.

I too just picked up my 08 TCH last Wednesday. As with "remard", I got the $1000 cash back and a great deal - Blue Ribbon with Upgrade Package & Sunroof - $24, 700 out the door - added benefit of no personal property tax in VA for hybrids.
 
Simply, I love driving it. I drive 60 miles round trip every day. So far I'm averaging 37 mpg, though that'll probably change as I get used to driving and I get thru the break-in period. Added benefit is that I no longer have a lead foot as I did with my 02 Maxima.
 
I do however have a question for my fellow TCH owners. It concerns "stopping & parking" the car. What's the exact procedure for with this ?
 
I've been:
Stopping. With foot on brake, I place in Park.
Then press down the emergency brake.
Then press the Power button/switch for 3-4 seconds.
Most of the time everything goes dark, however, sometimes the dashboard lites remain illuminated and the "green" light on the Power switch/button remains illuminated. I exit then lock the door. When I return several minutes later to "verify" the status, all lights are off and the green light on the Power switch/button is no longer illuminated.
Any ideas ??
 
Thanks for your input

Holding the power button with your foot off the brake activates the battery so that you can listen to the radio, etc.. The emergency brake is optional... next time just push the power button once... quickly, without holding it in. Your car will turn off without the accessories kicking in.

New '08 TCH by lessachs

I just bought my second TCH. I traded in the one I purchased in late 2006 for a new 2008. I got in on the $1,000 rebate from Toyota. It ends 4/30/08. I made the trade at a really good price. I am a confirmed Camry fan. I bought my first one in 1987. The trade in was white (OK). The '08 is silver with a spoiler (much cooler, I think). Anyway, heres another vote for Camry and the hybrid version.

Thanks for the info "plknj"....
Do I need to leave my foot on the break pedal while I'm pushing the power button to turn off the car ?

New 09 TCH by tbone0526

Picked up my 2009 TCH a week ago Saturday and have been loving it ever since. I went for the "stripped" model. No sunroof (need the headroom and didn't really care for it last time I had it in a car), no leather (don't really want to spend the money for it), and no NAV (couldn't care less about it). Even without those, it still has more features than any vehicle I've ever driven. Love the Bluetooth, and very pleased with the mileage so far of 36-39mpg (depending on whether it's me or my wife driving).
 
Quick note to all on the body-side moldings. My dealer pushed them at me for $350 (along with the $499 paint protection, 3M coating over the leading edges, extend warranty, pre-paid maintenance, tire coverage, GAP insurance, credit life, and credit disability). Save your money. I used to be a car salesman, and I can tell you pretty confidently that NOTHING that the dealer offers you at closing is a good deal.
 
If you do a quick check on the internet, you can find the BSM's for about $100, and installation is pretty simple and should take about half an hour.
