Go there and get a system installed -- i'm 100% sure you won't regret it -- look at their website and their builds. They are a bit expensive for the normal run of the mill driver, but you will not be dissapointed. Guaranteed.

Well, then, if you don't have a smartphone...

My brother has something similar to this:
http://shop.siriusxm.com/xm/ctl10600...th_vehicle_kit

You just stick it in the window, slap it on the dash... plug it in and tune your radio to a certain frequency and off ya go! $50 and you got sat radio again.

I have XM radio running off my OEM head unit. You need 2 parts. The XM Receiver and the "fit kit". It's expensive, but it plugs directly into your OEM head unit.

XM Receiver - 86180-0W032 - +/- $180.00
Scion tC/iQ fit kit - PT546-21110 - +/- $90

You can find a lot more info, in this thread (including installation instructions):

Best of luck!

That's what I have and it looks like I may go that route. Thanks

Use the HD radio. Not sure what you're into, but KMEL HD2 and Live 105 HD2 are both awesome. Get a longer antenna like the Raderra-sold one listed in another thread.

Into all kinds of music hence the need for XM. Plus I'm spoiled now that I've had it so long. Thanks to the help from all the people that have replied, I'm gonna use my little XM unit and have already ordered my shark fin antenna to make it look all sleek and purdy on the outside. I used to listen to Live 105 when I lived in the Bay Area when it was Modern Rock. Thanks for your reply. You going to Dublin tonight?

KMEL plus Live105 covers a lot. I didn't know if they're in Stockton. Guess not. Try those digital stations, though. You may be surprised.

You may want to skip the sharkfin if you like regular radio. On my red car, I don't even notice the 18" antenna I put on, but I do notice how I get awesome reception compared to the old stubby.

Not going to Dublin tonight. I'll be working til at least 9pm as usual. I miss all the fun stuff.

Nope...this is one gurl that doesn't like regular radio. There'll be other meets you can join. I promise. Have a great night....

Pearl...the car...is at Warehouse Car Stero getting a double din XM ready installed and windows tinted. I'll pick her up tomorrow. There's gonna be another FR-S getting tinted tomorrow as well so hopefully I'll meet the owner. My garage is empty..
