portable XM Radio

XM radio:
The dealer told me my Tundra was satellite ready, but would require additional parts cost of approx. $450

What I did:
I bought a portable XM unit called “Inno” $249 + the car kit $69. it’s cheaper than a dealer unit plus I can take it to the gym.

The install time:
approx. 1 hour.

Location:
I mounted the unit via a self stick bracket on top of the storage tray next to the cup holders. This worked out great because I was able to use the storage area below to hide all the wires. I mounted the antenna on top of the dash via Velcro from the kit. I was able to run the antenna wire under the dash so it is not visible. The Tundra has plenty of wiggle room to hide wires, so the portable unit is a great option.

robbie2522,

Welcome to TTZ. Thanks for posting that information.

How is the reception inside a building (i.e., the gym)???

Thanks.

Nice install. That is the same way I installed my Sirius S100.

Reception is limited inside of buildings, however XM sells a headphone with a built in attenna, which makes a noticeable difference ( pricey + $35) The “Inno” can record up to 40 hours of music, which is a great option to poor reception.

Very nice. Didn't know they had such a small unit.
