Received product without any problems. Installed easily into the Tundra for use with the factory radio. Works without any problems.

I'll make this short and sweet. The item stopped working 3 and a half months after I purchased it (Not picking up satellite signal). Naturally the warranty expired after 90 days and I had to replace it out of my own pocket.

The cable between the interface and the Sirius receiver does NOT have anything retaining it, and I did use the elecricians tape wrap as a fix for that problem. However the main beef I have is that while I have good radio, there is no good communication with the unit to the cars display. I have an Avalon, and while this may work well on other Toyota's (only a guess by me, of course), it won't even give me the channel number to which I am tuned. No information.. Nada. Some great interface, huh?

The plug that goes into the back of this thing has nothing to "catch" it. Because of this, the plug won't stay connected. I haven't had SIRIUS radio for more than 2 days without having to go back in and reconnect the cable to the back. I even tried using electrical tape and taping the hell out of it but it still came out. I don't see how anyone has any success with this product when the cable doesn't fit.

I installed this in my wife's 2009 Toyota Corolla. Couldn't be easier. All the wires are in the trunk to install this unit in the Corolla. I had to buy SIRIUS SCC1 SIRIUS Connect Universal Tuner to connect to this unit. One note about the Corolla "Don't bother spending the $60.00 for the antenna connection wire to use with the stock antenna that is already on the car. You can just cut the antenna wires on the antenna that comes with the TOYSC1 and just cut off the connector in the trunk and splice the wires together. Anybody that can solder a wire can splice these wires together. One suggestion. Instead of trying to solder together the wires that are on the outside of the core wire (shielding or ground wire) just solder a jumper wire from one end of the shielding to the other wires shielding , this is much easier. Hope this help you save $60.00."
