    Hi
    I have the factory stereo in my 2011 tacoma. Toyota PN from the back is 86120-04171-A. The unit has Am/Sat button, am works but I get nothing for sat, so I assume the sat radio is not installed. Can I just buy a sat radio/antenna and a cable that fits my unit? I've done this on older vehicles but the guy at cartoys says I have to buy a hub unit too, all totals $600. Really?

    Suggestions appreciated.

    chrome on front painted to match, satoshi grill done by myself, BHLM, billys all the way around with ome springs upfront and LR ucas with wheelers 3 leaf progressive pack in the rear, mb gunner wheels powdercoated black on 285/75r16 nitto trail grapplers, tinted all the way around and on windshield, pioneer dbl din touch screen with two 10's behing the seat and new speakers all the way around and certain interior parts painted to match, also have a road wire leather kit black with red stitching sitting here waiting for me to find time to install it!
    you do need a sat tuner too.. basically your radio is compatible with sat if you have the sat button and you will need to buy the tuner and ant. we normally charge $450 for the unit and install.. we order the factory based unit from vais.. you can look them up to see if you can get since you arent a dealer! good luck man
