Sirius and XM are the same company now, but depending on the programming you want, if you get XM instead of Sirius, you might need to pay for the "Best of Sirius" on XM. The music channels are mostly shared between the two systems The main difference is the selection of talk channels. I currently have Sirius and hear ads for both the best of XM on Sirius and the best of Sirius on XM. I've never been interested in paying for the Best of XM. And if you mostly listen to music, XM and Sirius are basically interchangeable. Probably worth looking at: http://www.tss-radio.com/toyota-lexus-and-scion-sirius-connect-toysc1-scc1-package-p-5709.html The kit includes an antenna, so I am guessing the factory XM antenna won't work with the Sirius system.

My Supra has both.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - They definitly attack here in Flori-duh..Although I went to a Ford dealer recently and pleasently enough they didn't bother me until I asked for help... Toyota dealers salespeople swarm. I guess they just don't get it...God forbid they should come up with another way to sell cars that doesn't make you uncomfortable...And it can't be too much fun for the sales people either...
