Does anyone have an answer for this?
I don't own one but I might buy one. In my opinion, an over head would hinder the already limit rear view. The head rest are small and curved for a good size LCD.

You can get nice ones that you hang over the seats and have two separate DVD units.

Is it possible to use a small pre-amp or something to increase the signal strength from my XM radio and iRiver when I plug it into the FJ aux jack?
The radio itself gets plenty loud on FM, but even at max vol. with my XM and iRiver does not get loud enough.
Thoughts??
TIA

Sorry to report I did not have the problem you describe. I plugged my iPAQ into the aux jack to listen to an Audible book and had plenty of volume although I didn't play it as loud as some might play music.

This little amp is EXCELLENT for use w/ IPODs or satellite:
http://www.boostaroo.com/
It's called the Boostaroo. I bought one about 6 months ago to use with a Sirius radio. Got an ipod about 2 months ago and it really boosts it up. Great frequency response, very little distortion.

I am in process of replacing the factory radio with the Pioneer AVIC-D3 to get navigation/bluetooth/XM Traffic info. Does anyone know if this would void any type of radio? Additionally, does anyone know if there would be a market for this radio head if I put it on Ebay especially since not all FJ's come with a 6-disc changer/

I am looking to purchase a new FJ. I had a 4runner and traded for a Hyundai Santa Fe ( don't ask haha ). after 4 months of owning it I am going back to Toyota. One thing is I am sort of used to my new XM radio...
Does the FJ offer satellite radio? I didn't really get an answer at the dealship I visited. THanks

I found out my answer. The radio is satellite ready, which means it will work with XM and Sirius. You just need to install the tuner and antenna for the service you are using. The Toyota setup is quite expensive. BUt a local radio installation place told me Toyota recently released items needed for outside installs. I am not sure what that means exactly, except he said he can install the tuner and antenna. He also said it is better not messing around with trying to get the antenna outside the vehicle and will be able to place it on the dash behind the gauge cluster on top. I am going to have it installed soon

I guess nobody else is having issues or an interest in this. Today I went back to the local radio guy and he was a bit fuzzy on what he told me last time about the radio. He said Toyota can install the items and it will be around $1100. He can install the tuner and antenna for $599. I think this is a little insane since the radio that comes with the truck is satellite ready to begin with. Has anyone found any better options? I can't believe XM and Serius have not done a better job at making things easier to obtain the service. Oh well. I would not even bother but I did have the service in the past and I really do miss it.
