I have an 06 Limited and have been thinking of installing satellite radio. I have noticed that the CD quality in my car is just great. However, the FM sounds just ok. I want to know if you hear an absolute improvement over basic FM. I have heard satellite in other cars I was just curious about the Avalon. |

THe description for the Toyota Sirrius Kit (Product ID PTS31-00052) is silent on the issue. If it can be used with the non-JBL radio, my next question will be whether anyone has installed it themselves? It mentions that drilling is required, but I don't know what is involved. |

 Hi, I have just returned to the world of Toyota ownership. (Previously had an '01 Solara Convertible.) On Saturday, we went to our local Toyota dealer to pick up a coupon for a free turkey. When we got there, the salesman asked if we were there just for the promotion or were we interested in a car. I told him that as long as we were there, I'd like to see a fully loaded Avalon Limited after having read (very little) about them. Needless to say, after seeing one, I got really interested. We were told that their Avalons are usually sold before they get to the dealer, and he showed us a print out of one coming in next week. While we were looking at that, the salesman was told by his manager that a deal had just fallen through and they had one available. After a bit of dickering, we finally bought it and drove it home. Now my question. The only thing the car doesn't have is XM radio, which I really got used to in the '05 Honda Odyssey that we traded in. No where do I find any info re how to add XM to the system. I will be checking with the dealer, but having seen references here, I would like to know how much it costs to add this, and does it have to be done at a dealer or can a car stero shop do it for less. The radio installed is the high end radio that has the AM/SAT button.

Here is some info from a recent post of mine that answered a similiar question: "...Congratulations on the purchase of your new Avalon Limited! I have had mine now for a little over a month and absolutely luv the car. BTW, mine has factory installed XM radio, and you can have it also. Try browsing the regular Toyota Avalon 2005+ forum, and searching on XM Radio. If you can't find what you need, post back here and we will help you. The short version: you can purchase the exact same factory XM radio module and have a friendly radio shop install it for you if you wish. It ties into the JBL system already in your Limited. Way cool! Advise if you need a reference for purchasing, etc... Mike |
