That was the kit you buy with the transformer,antenna and bracket thats installed in the trunk and connected to your SAT cable on your radio head unit. It is the unit that installs with the JBL system from toyot. They were about 50-75 dollars less than other dealers.
 
I have the printout of the part numbers and price from them at home in a file....

I am interested in having a XM radion installed in my 05 Limited w/JBL system. I've done the word search and am looking for the latest recommendation for a good yet not too pricy system to buy and have installed. Also cost/month and any specials out there. Thanks in advance for your advice..

I installed the factory satellite radio in my 06 avalon myself. The parts guy gave me a print out of the installation instructions and you can do it yourself, just take your time and you'll be ok.
 
I went with Sirius, they offer a pay once, $500, for a lifetime service. You can change out your radio at least three times under that aggrement without penalty. The Sirius ant. attaches to the windshield and is basically out of sight. I love it, it integrates into the JBL system easily. The sound quality is great too.

how much was the unit? how long did it take you to install? Did you get the unit from a toyota dealer?

sorry to take so long to reply, if i remember correctly the system was between 3 and 4 hundred, it comes in two parts. the antenna and the receiving unit. it took me about two hours to do the install. yea the instructions are intimidating to look at but once your into it you will see that is is not too difficult. one thing however, toyota will say you need a panel removal tool from them. i bet it cost a bundle, i bought one from a local car parts retailer for about $4.00.

2006 Avalon Sirius Satellite Radio Problem by zachputer

Have the JBL Radio with Navigation and Sirius Sat. Radio for 2 months. Had no problems listening to satellite for free for 2 month complimentary period. Now when I push the AM/SAT button, I only get AM radio. I cant get any satellite reception. I need the numbers off channel 255 to activate radio. Do I have a hardware problem?

Sounds like your 2 months of "free" listening is over...now you have to start "paying". Sirius will probably send you a signal to activate after you send them the magic numbers off your credit card.

Satellite Radio installation on 2002 Avalon by mark_h

Has anyone had experience with installing a satellite radio in a 2002 Avalon XLS with the JBL option? I would prefer Sirius. Is there any satellite connectors on the head unit? Can I use the window antenna? Thanks much!
