XM antenna wire location

[TylerC]

I want to get an XM 'dock and play' to use in several vehicles, as well as in my home and office. Where is the XM antenna wire in my new '11 4R? And is it accessible w/o disassembling the dash? (If it's necessary to disassemble the dash - how's that done?)
Also, is the connector universal and compatible for use in 'dock and play' units? I want to figure this out because I don't want to add the antenna that comes with the D&P if the 4R already has a useable antenna. Thanks.

(Sorry for the possible redundancy - I posted this on the 'new members' forum, but was unsure it's getting exposure on the general discussion forum. Plus it appears I'm running into a deadend since no one has replied . . . yet.)

No clue how to answer your question as I'm unfamiliar with the 5th gens. Have you posted in that section? Seems like the best place.

Have we found an answer for this? Wondering the same thing.

I would use a magnetic antenna that sticks on the roof instead of tearing the interior apart.

Hi there-

We would like to investigate the radio that was in you mom's vehicle that caught fire. Is there anyway you, or your mom could send us an email with your contact information to [email protected], so we can look into this.

Thanks,

The quick answer is it goes behind the glove box, up the right passenger front beam to the ceiling panel to the ceiling panel back to the shark fin.

The diagram of which is in the service manuals in the gen 5 quick link thread. under TIS FSM for 2010 4Runner by Nashman.

I have been dealing with a "Check Antenna" and all advice I get is don't try to deal with the ceiling panel.
