Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / June 20052005 Sienna and XM
We've been looking at the Odyssy and Sienna. Leaning towards the Sienna. I was very disapointed to see that XM radio isn't offered on the Sienna at all, even with the Nav system. I might pay the extra $2k for the nav system just to have it all integrated into one handy dashboard installed package. I'm frustrated that I cant just add the XM module to the factory head unit to get XM. The salesperson said that they will install an XM Radio (a Roady 2 based on his description) hardwire it to power and dress the antenna cable behind the dash nicely, however it would require listening to it through the FM radio. I've got a roady2 installed in my Explorer and have it intalled directly to my factory radio (select the CD changer and you get the XM radio) and it sounds great. Sounded horrible when listening through the FM radio. Is there a similar solution available for the 2005 Sienna? Does any particular audio option make it easier or harder (JBL sound system yes/no, 6 disk changer yes/no?) > Is there a similar solution available for the 2005 Sienna?

Ask local car stereo shops (NOT THE TOYOTA DEALER) about these: <http://www.logjamelectronics.com/pietoy03aux.html> I have one in my '05 Tacoma w/ 6 disc changer and use it with an MP3 player and Roady 2. I installed it myself in less than 20 minutes, after buying it online. To use the input, you simply select disc 1, track 1, with no CD in slot 1. >> Is there a similar solution available for the 2005 Sienna?

How hard is it getting to the back of the head unit? I put a PIE adapter in my Explorer and it was very easy because I didn't need to get at the head unit at all, just the CD changer in the center console. > Cool!

The Taco involved popping off the climate control panel and removing (2) 10mm bolts, the radio slid right out. I found a photo illustrated procedure for the truck via Google. Maybe Google can point you toward Sienna radio replacement, or for $10, you can get online access to the genuine Toyota service manuals for 24 hours. > We've been looking at the Odyssy and Sienna.

There is an option for the 05 Sienna with NAV for the XM radio. Its the same radio as prius. Check out www.siennaclub.org and you will find it there. $600 and it integrates with the built in system Dan > There is an option for the 05 Sienna with NAV for the XM radio.

Or are you referring to the PT546-06040 solution? According to Toyotapart.com, this is for the Solara. Is it compatible with the Sienna as well? >> There is an option for the 05 Sienna with NAV for the XM radio. Its >> the same radio as prius.

Some dealers will say this doesnt work. Toyota of Crystal Lake, Illinois can do this, and maybe have your dealer call them.

All the same displays as the Solara, the AM button toggles between AM radio and XM radio? (like this: http://www.oemvalue.com/pics/toyota/siennaxm.jpg). > "Dan J.S." <me@hyperx.com> wrote in news:11a8rcerv4hgc89 > @news.supernews.com: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > and XM radio?

He offered to look it up by your name, but I doubt it's under "Dan J.S". Would you mind dropping me an email at rtphokie@gmail.com with your first/last name? |
