If your radio has a button that says "AM-SAT", then all you need is the Toyota XM tuner assembly . The install is very simple. I bought mine off of eBay, it was still the original Toyota box. I think I paid $90 for it. The tuner unit mounts behind the panels in the trunk. The antenna mounts on the deck lid and the cable then plugs into the XM tuner. I really do not like the wire showing on the antenna unit, but I noticed even those Solaras that came equipped the XM option, the wire show as well. The tuner simply plugs into a port on the back of your radio. Thats it! Nothing to cut or spice. Everything is "plug and play". You do have to run the wires under the step plates, but that is easy enough. Once installed, you must contact XM to set up an account and activate your tuner. I think I had everything working in my convertible in about 2 hours.
