I want to install a factory looking antenna on my '08 TRD Sport to hook up an aftermarket HU. I wonder if it is cool to install the factory XM antenna?

No front sway bar (does that count?)

I'm not sure about the factory XM antenna but I installed an aftermarket GPS antenna for my Alpine head unit up near the compass in my Tacoma (behind the headliner) and it works at full reception through the roof. If you're looking for something hidden like I was, that might be worth a shot.

I don't mind it being visable at all, just don't like the wires showing like I have now.
