What's the best way to add XM sat. radio?

[ScottAW]

I have already installed the Scion head unit, so I'm wondering what I need to get to hook up the XM stuff? I see they have the Roady 2 unit for $50 now, seems like a good deal. Appreciate any tips that can be offered.

I just recently addedthe XM Roady2 to my 4Runner. It was a fairly easy process. I too have the Scion HU and I hooked up the XM with a PIE auxillary input adapter. I got the Roady2 with the home kit for $70 off of Ebay and the input adapter and a Bracketron vehicle specific mounting adapter from myradiostore.com for about $100. If you want good sound, I would definitely use an auxillary input adapter. Sorry I don't have any pics yet, I'll take some this weekend and post 'em.

Here are a couple of pics of my XM setup. I just need to get a new cable with a 90 degree mini plug. The cable I have now blocks the one climate control knob.

I mounted my Roady in the sunglasses flipdown.

The cleanest XM install would be to buy a Scion XM kit, but its pricy.

Do you have the part numbers for the Bracketron bracket and the PIE adapater? I'd like to purchase these, just want to make sure I pick up the right stuff.

Thanks!

The PIE adapter is the TOY03-AUX and the bracket is the Bracketron TOY-202-03. You can get both from myradiostore.com. I chose them because they were the first place that sold both items, had them in stock, and were priced about the same as everybody else.

Thanks for getting back to me on that!
