Question Advice needed for getting SIRIUS on 2003 Camry SE

Total newbie when it comes to satellite radio, but would like to get it.

I have a 2003 Camry SE. I currently have the JBL 6-disc CD changer with cassette player.

What is the easiest and most economical way to get the SIRIUS service.

Also, I was thinking of going to Best Buy to get this done.

Finally, do I need to change out this in dash deck??


Thanks

no.

here's my setup...in pic form...will answer any questions after you see the pics if you have any.







The foam shit under the receiver is just cause the suctioncup is old and doesn't stick i need to buy a new one.

I ran the wiring down the side and under the plastic molding along the door and up between the door and back seat..and you can see where the antenna is.

I have no problems with the antenna with my tinted windows...

Punks, thanks for the reply and the pics

But Im so busy these days with work, I'd rather have a Best Buy or the dealer fool with it.

Any other suggestions??

it's extremely easy to do, no hard wiring at all. that took 5mins to setup, with a 5min phone call to setup the billing and get it activated. No sense wasting money on paying some BestBuy tech to do it.

All you need is the receiver and the car kit, put it in and you're set!

You COULD buy a whole new deck, with Nav and get the Sirius adaptor (sisters fiance did this) but it was a total cost of about 1700 bucks.

Do what punk said, go with an aftermarket unit. The factory thing that functions and displays through the head unit from Toyota is stupid expensive. If you don't want to mess with it, just take it to best buy or circuit city, they'll throw it in the car for you for 40 or 50 bucks. The last XM car kit I bought was about $70, with the antenna and everything you need to make it work.

I got mine all for free, just paying for the service. Sisters fiance gave me the one he had!
