Unfortunatley no. I have the same reciever from my old vehicle. The factory XM and HU use a propriety plug (meaning they wanted only the factory reciever to hook up to the HU). I'm having mine installed next weekend with a new HU. And you can't go to Best Buy to have installed because they don't have a kit to make the HU fit. Plus they wouldn't mount the XM receiver under the passenger seat like the factory would be mounted. They wanted to mount it on the back of my seat! I decided to take to the only audio store in Hampton Roads that I knew had installed one. You could try Circuit City, but I'm sure it may be the same thing there. They say its a custom install. I say they just need to install it correctly. Good luck on finding someone if you decide to go with a new HU.

That is where I'm going next Saturday at 10am. I met with them last week. I first went to BB because of free install. Ocean Audio now has my business as long as all goes well. Their xB wasn't there when I went, but I hear its great!

I thought the XM unit, SAT Tuner/Antenna Part #: PT546-52040, would work with either of the Scion HU's.

New technology....
For those who want Satellite Radio in their cars with the stock unit....
Sirius has just released the Soundgate Device, which is compatible with all sat ready receivers

XM has had the "XM Direct" system out which does the same thing for a few months now. I believe it runs between $100-150
