I just installed my sirius sat radio in my car and do not like the way it sounds through th FM mod. SOOO ....next thing im going to do is upgrade my headunit. Does anybody know of a double dim headunit that will look nice? All I have been able to find is the single dim ones and I know thats not going to look as nice. Any links or help would be great. (i already have an external gps so im not in the market for anything but a double dim unit that plays cds)

There we go mate!

 

Almost Any double-din without a fold out screen will work just fine...

 

i checked out the crutchfield one but the only one that was there was that ugly kenwood. Im looking to spend less then $400 - can someone help? ....if the darn tC 05 headunit had the back jacks then i wouldnt even be in this situation

 

is there something else that i can use .... some kind of adapter so i dont have to use the RF modulator? .... i heard that there might be something that goes in the cd player

 

I am a kenwood fan and i was just looking at what they had and I found this I am not sure how to do links but here is the url http://www.kenwoodusa.com/products/L...k3=128&pr=2185

 

that is really nice but im sure it costs too much - i really need to try and find something that goes into the cd player that will transmit the signal. any ideas? looks like there is something for an Ipod that does that ..i think.

 

Peripheral Electronics makes an AUX adaptor for our tC's stereo that will work just fine for you and won't cost you a ton...

Do a search for "PIE adaptor" or "Aux Adaptor" then you can run RCA's into the back of your deck and run a bit better sound....

My single-din isn't that THAT bad.... although that space will be a 7 in touchscreen for my CarPC soon enough...

 

I have the 05 - from what i hear...there is nothing i can do w/ the stock headunit. For some odd reason I thought I remember some kind of cd that i can put into the player w/ a wire but since a cd spins.....how could that be possible? .....i have no clue why I think I have seen something like this. Ive seen many tape ones but that makes sence since the whole tape isnt moving.

 

whats the official answer... are there any input jacks in the back of the 2005 that I can hook my external sirius radio to? right now im using the fm modulator and its not cutting it.

 

for anybody that is wondering the same thing in the future. I just bought the:
PIE TOY03-AUX 2003-05 Toyota/Scion Auxiliary Input Adapter

i know there will be atleast someone else that is going to need this post. This is the only way you can hook up an ipod or external sat. radio (xm or sirius) w/o using the fm modulator. Put it this way, right now I have the FM modulator ....its about 10x's worse then radio. I dont even want to listen to my sat. radio till i get this device.

 

There is also an item out there that will kill your FM antenna when you run sirius, which results in much clearer reception if your receiver is compatible. Only $20, too.
