    Hi I just bought a 2009 Tacoma (not even 24 hours ago)
    it came with the following factory stereo

    from the toyota website:
    EV) AM/FM 6-disc in-dash CD changer, MP3/WMA playback capability, auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio capability[6], seven speakers including two ceiling-mounted speakers and subwoofer, satellite radio receiver prewire and antenna

    My stereo is sat ready and I do have a sat antenna on the roof, but when I push the sat button on the unit....nothing.

    My question is, what do I need to install for the Satellite radio and what do I need to install for bluetooth.
    Can I install what I need my self? (I am pretty good with that stuff)Or should I have the dealer do it since its new?
    Any info about what I need to buy and instructions would be great.

    THANKS

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I am betting you need to get the tuner for the SAT radio and quite possible the same for the bluetooth to work. Hopefully its not via Stealership.

    I ended up putting a complete new unit in. It was cheaper than adding everything on that I needed. AND now I have nav and DVD and EVERYTHING works through me radio

    I put in the Kenwood DNX6400 I also have the matching install kit/ dash that matches the factor "metal" dash look.

    Nice! Did you get the Scoshe or Metra kit? Smooth or dimpled?

    Im not familiar with the stock setup. But from what your wrote, if its at sat prewire, you will need the sat tuner for it to operate. Perhaps the BT is in that unit as well? Im not sure, but you may have to consult the manual. It should at least tell you how to pair your phone with the HU, then that would give you an idea of whether or not the BT operates or not. GOOD LUCK!!
