toyota xm unit

[ctaudio]

I recently installed a OEM Scion head unit in my 2005 tacoma DC using an aftermarket dbl-din install kit with some minor cutting and filing, I still need to add some filler trim to the face...but not bad as-is (7 out of a possible 10). SOUNDWISE WOW + MP3's what a difference we tacoma owners got screwed.....the scion deck with just the few adjustments it has blows my old factory unit away...so much so that I am tempted to forget about installing the subwoofer I fabricated for behind the seat.....we'll see on that one. I currently am running an aftermarket XM unit thru the USASPEC adapter which sounds fine but is annoying to look at....I also have a factory XM set up w/wiring which came out of a lexus (which is the same controller as the scion I have both) which I tried to bench test on the scion radio and it did not respond when I pressed the sat . radio control....I have seen 1 post elsewhere that someone had a similar issue..just curious if there is anyone out there that has been through this before and has knowledge of the OEM XM wiring any tricks or tips...something I'm missing?

How about a picture of it installed?

the picture graciously posted by kneebiter is the finished product...I was unable to post it myself properly, but I can tie my own shoes

I wonder if you could take some nail polish remover or something, and get rid of the "scion" logo?

I tried using laquer thinner...it did nothing but start to eat the plastic.....

Try denatured alcohol or brake fluid... no joke....
