You might check out our discussion that's specifically about Sirius and XM Satellite Radio

I just got the Stiletto form Sirius and it plugs into the AUX
connector and works great. By the way XM sucks don't you think?

Actually... I drive over 100 miles a day and have had Sirius for 3 years. As my TCH is equipped with XM... I tried it for 3 months and then subscribed. I love the old time radio shows and when Sirius is a repeat I switch over. They also have a few other stations I like... but if I had to choose one I would pick Sirius.
You plugged the Stiletto into your aux jack... how are you powering the Stiletto?

Batteries for now. But you can get the AC car adapter for it.
When you buy the stiletto it come with 2 batteries.

I had Sirius installed on my XLE 07 Camry. I felt "lucky" to get it. That tells me it can be done. Just make sure they give you the correct parts for it. Mine came with a Solara wire harness for some reason. It never sounded right until the Service Manager at my dealership hunted down the correct parts and re-installed it. now it is wonderful.

I just bought an 08 TCH with Navigation and satellite radio "capability". Has anyone been successful with hooking up with sirius for this car? The dealer is no help and Circuit city wants to sell me a tuner etc. Thanks in advance, Tim

I bought a "Vaistech" kit for my 2007 Camry through discountcarstereo.com. If you go to the Vaistech site (www.vaistech.com, i think) you can search for the kit for your specific car. At the time, the Camry kit was not available. I purchased the Prius kit which worked fine, although I've had some trouble recently with sporadic "No Signal" messages. I've yet to contact Vaistech regarding this, so you may want to ask questions befor you purchase.
Hope this helps.

By the way... My 07 Camry is also a Hybrid model, so there may be a problem with the unit and the the electrical componant of the car's engine, but again... I'm not sure of anything.

What did you use for an antenna with the Stiletto? I'm assuming you can't just use it in the car with no antenna?

Had an auto shop hard wire my Stiletto into the car and put the antenna out through the trunk. Had to use the extra wire on the back window. Get great reception... I keep my channel at about 107.3 or .5. Have not had a problem with it since it was installed a year ago.
Also, if you just place the magnetic antenna on the roof and run it through a car wash... it will most probably scratch the paint. Hope this helps.
