Default Just joined the Scion family!

Picked up my TCM xB Saturday (stock automatic - only options were the mats and armrest). I have been contemplating an xB for 6 months and finally pulled the trigger! Me and the wife love it (we also own a 2006 Sequoia - Toyota definately builds the best cars!).One question - does anyone have a plug and play Sirius satellite system (I have the Sportster)? Is there anything that would help me attach it either above the glove box or in the storage area below the radio (right now I have it suctioned to the windshield)?

I just sit mine in the cubby in front of the passenger although hope to make something for behind the cup holders.

I definately recommend a filter to clean up the signal as it could be very scratchy.

Which Sirius unit do you have? I have the Starmate Replay and have it in the cubby behind the steering wheel for easy access and readabilty.

I have the Sportser - how do you attach it to the cubby? Has anyone hooked it up through the AUX input (right now I just use the FM Modulator - was wondering if the AUX input had better sound quality)?

I am about 10 minutes west of Marietta - takes about 45 minutes to get downtown (with no traffic) - one reason I chose to get an xB.

I stopped in Marietta for gas on my home back from Florida a couple months back. Traffic was backed up all the way to there coming through ATL.. it was pretty miserable.. Anyway, I picked my xB up this weekend as well.. congrats!

Default ....Good News / Bad News.....

Glad that you got a box. I do have good news and I have bad news for you.
Good news: Dedicated Japinese engeneers designed a cabin air filtration system to remove pollen and dust from inside your XB.
Bad News: Some bald, white, fat, buereaucratic manager decided to save $2.23 per Scion by NOT installing the filter that makes this system work. They also decided to keep this information secret so that you would not think Scion is cheap. We know Scion is not cheap because they gave a $40,000 bonus to the clown who thought up this idea(scheme).
Solution: Buy and install your own CABIN AIR FILTER in your empty CABIB AIR FILTER TRAY that is located behind your glovebox.
See the TECH thread called 'Fabricate your own CABIN AIR FILTER' and see photos of how to pop out the glovebox and access filter tray. Filters from Scion are $22. Filters from any parts store are about $12. The RAV-4 uses the same filter. Replace every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.
