Reddit mentions of SiriusXM SXV300v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit for Satellite Radio with Free 3 Months Satellite andStreaming Service correct

I have two FJs, both with upgraded audio. The Kenwood Excelon DNX695S is my favorite head unit of the two, the other is a Kenwood Excelon DNX892. The DNX659S is quite a bit cheaper, has a great layout, no mechanical door hiding the CD/DVD player, and still has the OBDII connection to monitor engine stuff, which is cool. also two inputs for front and rear cameras.

Keep in mind you will need a few additional components to fully integrate, they aren't 100% needed, but make it better: Maestro ADS-MRR to use your steering wheel controls, SiriusXM SXV300v1 if you want Satellite Radio, and a plastic trim piece to complete the bezel around the new radio.

I have a Wicked CAS Stage 2 speaker and subwoofer system in one, and stock speakers in the other. Both sound great with the new head units, but the Wicked system with the dual subwoofers is really nice. I don't have a sub in the second FJ, and miss it after driving the first.

  And then obviously pick a head unit. We've had good luck with the Kenwood DNX695S, which has navigation, wired android auto, apple car play, and plays DVDs. It looks like a lot of parts but the only wire connecting you'll need to do is with the various harnesses listed above, and there's good documentation on what goes where. Once you get your harness all connected up, everything just plugs right into your existing Toyota harnesses.

I got all my harnesses from David at ae64.com. I emailed him with the details of what I was planning to do and he responded with everything I needed. It was nice to get them all from one place.

I paired his harnesses with a Maestro RR to retain the backup cam and steering wheel controls.

Remember, if you email David, he will give you a list customized to your application, but here is what I used:

Ordered from ae64.com

• 10 & 6 pin "forward" harness with plain speaker wires
  
• 28-pin aux retention harness with 3 plain SWC wires & VSS & reverse gear & parking brake leads
  
• Add male RCA and 6V power lead to 28-pin harness (to retain OEM rear camera)
  
• AX-SUBUSB2
  
• Alternate AM/FM+XM antenna feeder cord (to retain shark fin antenna)
  
  Ordered from Amazon:
  
  
• [MicroBypass Parking Brake Switch]
  (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VKQ6ECQ)
  
• SiriusXM SXV300v1
  
  Ordered from eBay:
  
  
• Maestro RR
  
  
  Hope this helps

So I just read through the rebate form and it seems you would not be eligible for the rebate because you're an existing customer. It uses the wording "new customers" several times but then also specifically says "Offer not valid on pre-owned radios, or on radios or tuners that replace an existing radio or tuner on an account. "

So you can either buy the tuner outright for $35 or you can buy your new stereo in a bundle with it. You'll have to do the math and see which is cheaper for whatever stereo you end up picking out. Again, budget? Features?

as for radios with navigation built in. they start around $550 and some will have the ability to do apple carplay or android auto. as for satellite radio, most do not come with it BUT they have the ability to have it added easily. usually a $35 to $50 tuner which can be connected to most aftermarket stereos. then you just transfer account to new sirius tuner ID and you are good to go.

i hope this helps a bit

From what I read the OEM HDRadio antenna works, the nav works off the included antenna, and the XM Radio you have to buy a tuner accessory.

Also on the pioneer site under the Phone Integration section it says "voice control".

/r/carav

if your pioneer radio is labeled "siriusxm compatible" all you'll need to do is buy this and you can find an adapter to convert the stock antenna to the antenna this tuner uses

One of these?

There's also an older version, the SXV200v1. Not sure what the difference is. Does it matter?

As long as I can get the "Xtra Channels", that woudl be great. My current XM tuner (it's one of the Kenwood KCA-XM100V units, which you slip a "XM mini tuner" inside) doesn't. I was told you needed to get the "SiriusXM" branded ones.
