XM Radio Options

Hello all,
I share my frustration of many new tacoma owners by our brand new expensive trucks not being XM ready from factory. I'm aware of the process of updating the head unit to be capable. Saying that I would like to see examples of your trucks that have XM contollers and units. Also any feedback on sound quality, pros/cons would be greatly appreciated. All and all just weighing my options. Thank you

 

Mine was XM ready from the factory....

 

I have a 2013 TRD-Sport. Came without sharkfin antenna. Only the limited's come equipped with XM

 

2014 Off Road came ready to go with XM (I do have the shark fin)

 

I envy you haha, not sure why the 13's didnt

 

That's weird, my 2012 Sport came with the sharkfin.

 

I agree. Bought it brand new, you think a $30k truck would have that option haha

 

Well I got the Sharkfin but no auto mirror and outside temp

 

Would of been nice if toyota threw in the outside temp gauge for the trd offroad. Intigrated with the clock or something.

 

Theres a mod for that.

 

My 2013 DCSB TRD OR came with sharkfin/XM, and pretty much everything else-except homelink. About to fix that minor oversight. love my Tacoma

 

My 2013 DCLB had no sharkfin and XM wasn't an option. Pulled the factory deck and replaced with a Pioneer deck with XM module.

 

My sr5 came with xm and free service for 3 months. The xm traffic/accident is spot on and awesome!

 

My 2011 SR5 was XM capable when I bought it, with a color matched sharkfin.

 

I have xm radio on my TRD 2013 with stock deck

Costed like 350$

 

Ohh I suppose I can tell you guys what I did

Buy this

Take the 3 knobs off the climate control etc , pop off the plate , 10mm socket with extension take out 4 bolts holding in deck. Slide deck out plug and play this vaistech unit . Jam back in dash and run antenna

 

Wrong... My 2011 and 2013 TRD's both came with XM

 

I'll gladly rip mine out and sell it to you, the controller that is. Never used it.

 

Lol... I used to say that all the time and now I have a 2 year subscription to it Don't know what I would do without it.

 

My 13 didn't come with XM they told me either I had to upgrade stereo to a JBL stereo or take a Limited edition I went with the TRD. I did order the cable that will give the back up screen move from mirror to the stereo screen.
