Gen6 07 Camry SE - Sirius Installation

I have searched the forum for this subject, but have not found it, so I apologize for posting this question if it has already been answered elsewhere.

I have a 2007 Camry SE 4cyl - It has the single-disc factory radio (without Navigation system; without JBL audio system).

However, I want to upgrade and purchase a six-disc factory radio (without Navigation system; with JBL audio system) from eBay or somewhere...

I am thinking it can't be as easy as that, so what else do I need to purchase to make it work with Sirius?

I have asked all the different Toyota dealerships in Orlando but some say they don't deal with the Sirius installation anymore, and a few of them say that my current radio can have the Sirius Receiver installed on it as-is, but they can't explain how I select SAT since that choice does not exist on my standard radio.

Upgrading to the JBL is more work that it's worth. You have to install the head unit, along with the amp, 6 speakers, and all the wiring to go with it. You may as well go aftermarket if you go this route.

The JBL system is not a dealer installed option and they run everything before the car is fully assembled so it's easier to do then.

Your best bet is to get an external tuner, and hook that to the aux in jack in the storage bin or the CD changer controls in back.

You might want to check out the units on the 2009 Corolla.

The standard radio has a Sat button, they have a standard 6 disc wiith a Sat button, and also the same JBL 6 disc as the Camry.

and a wider "Satellite" search would have answered some of your questions:

OEM XM Unit

njerald, the problem I see with that is that newer Toyota stereos are custom fit for the dash of each model. While electrically the stereo will fit, the physical design of the face will pose an issue when you try to fit the Corolla radio in the Camry dash.

That could very well be. I've only looked at the new Corolla features and a few pics.
