Looking at buying a new 4Runner

[coondogg97]

Hello all - This is a fantastic board. Thank you everyone for all of your help. Although I still have a question. I am looking at buying a new 4Runner Limited with the NAV system. My dilemma is this, I must have XM radio in this car. I cant live without it!! I DO NOT want to buy a new car then start to dremmeling and cutting and unscrewing and running wires and etc etc etc with a brand new car just for XM. I want everything integrated into the NAV HU. I know about the CD changer PIE adapter to allow XM to play through your OEM HU, but you still need an external XM radio. Has anyone heard if the 2006 4Runner will have XM installed factory? Any other suggestions to get XM in the new car and have everything still look OEM. The dealership will install an aftermarket XM unit for me, but its still going to be an XM unit. My wife has an Accord with the NAV system and XM and it is perfect. nice and integrated.. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian

Ok, im just gonna suck it up and get the aftermarket XM unit installed at the dealership.. One would assume the dealership should know they are doing.. But only time will tell..

I am having a great conversation with myself.. Oh well, I went to the dealership today. My black 4Runner limited will be shipped from Japan on the 20th.. YAY!

Would I be better of going to a Best Buy or a Circuit City? I dont have it yet.. I should have it by the end of the month to post some pics..

Circuit city and Best Buy have more experience installing XM radios... I can promise you that!
