Roof Antenna not connected from factory?

I'm having problems with using the 'shark fin' antenna on the roof. I have the adapter cable from Vais but I keep getting an antenna error. When I use the magnetic antenna from Sirius everything works. Is it possible the factory missed the connections during assembly? I also wonder if I can take my Taco in under warranty for this.

Thanks.

 

Doubt it would be a warranty issue unless you purchased an XM receiver from the stealership.

I had no problem plugging my aftermarket receiver up with the cable from tssradio:

It worked like a charm. The plug in for the cable is in the drivers side kick panel.

 

I am using the adapter from tss-radio.com and it works great. Your antenna may be defective.

 

Driver's side kick panel.

I forgot to add this is the second adapter cable so I'm thinking the roof antenna is disconnected.

Anyone ever take the headliner off?

 

Thats what I'm thinking as well. The shark fin antenna is supposed to be pre-wired from the factory. All I'm doing is plugging into an existing connector.

I have an email out to VAIS...I'll wait for them first.

 

My only concern is that the dealership won't address the issue, as the VAIS "wiring" is not an OEM wire.

Has anyone had any luck with the dealership trouble shooting the antennae when the receiver/wiring is not an OEM product?

 

I purchased a Vais cable and plugged it into the plug in the driver's kick panel. It worked like a champ when connected to my Roady II XM receiver.

 

Nobody has had an issue except me, that's why I'm thinking they forgot to hook something up on the assembly line.

 

Where Would the antenna (for sat radio?) be plugged into? I do not have sat radio? in my 2009 Tacoma 4x4.

Thanks
