[1dave]

Have '08 ES350 but module missing for Sat. radio. Anyone have one for sale? Anyone know anyone who may? Good Installer in Toronto area? Instructions on what is needed for this, parts, how to's? No one around here seems to know anything about it, including Toyota.

Many thanks in advance.

VAIS sells them both direct and they may still do on eBay: http://www.vaistech.com/dev/sl3x.php There may be other sellors on eBay that you can find by doing a search. Installing these things may seem scary but its fairly easy pull out a navigation or radio unit from the dash to plug the sat unit in. The most difficult part may be to run the antenna cable.

Unless there is a particular satellite radio you especially like, have you tried simply streaming Internet radio and music from a smartphone? TuneIn, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Slacker, etc.

XM/Sirius has been in the news due to it's deep financial trouble and hemorrhaging customers. I'm betting they will be gone in a few years unless some automobile company group buys them which I think is unlikely. Internet radio and music services are blowing sat radio away except in rural areas with poor cell phone service. Sat radio was a wonderful technology when it was conceived in the 1990's but technology has passed it by. We didn't even think about renewing XM when the trial period on our Prius expired. They wanted something like $600 to renew for a service we used maybe twice just to see if it still worked.
