We had xm installed at the dealer after the sale (2006). I have no idea what they installed but there is a small square-ish antenna on the dash (right side).

Our reception is terrible, it fades out about 30% of the time. I have xm in a GM car and it works perfectly 99.9% of the time.

I called xm radio and they told me to get an outside mounted antenna. Anyone with a similar problem? Any particular antenna you would recommend?

I'm going back to the dealer to complain tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks!

Our dealer took a look at our xm and agreed that the reception was very poor. The xm radio was fine so it had to be the antenna.

After they contacted Toyota they received a reply to move the antenna to the outside of the vehicle where ever the customer wants it.

I bought a xm antenna from a local dealer (I liked the smaller foot print much better) and our dealer installed it just behind the fm antenna.

Works great now!
