can't get xm radio id


naka

Recommended Posts

I have pre-owned 2008 highlander, with build in xm radio (so it seems). In order to active it i need to get xm radio id by pressing AM/SAT button and tunning to channel 0. When i press AM/SAT nothing happens and nothing is displayed.

Dealership wants $126 just to diagnose it. Anyone had this problem?

What's almost certainly happening is that you don't have satellite radio. Most Toyota/Lexus/Scion products built in the last few years come from the factory "Satellite ready". What that means is that there is a "Sat" button on the radio, the radio is capable of displaying and playing satellite radio, but the satellite module itself is not installed. In order to get satellite radio, you'll have to purchase the module, have it installed, and then satellite will play through the regular radio. The Toyota system will be much more expensive than an aftermarket kit, but it will also be a very clean installation and works seamlessly with the factory audio system and controls.
