Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior New XM setup!

I got the new XM Roadie 2. Here's a before pic

And after

Lights on!!

that looks sweet!

Cool

Your cd receiver came out really bright in that first pic.

Did you make a harness for the unit or did you buy one to install into the back of the ashtray?

damn...nice place to mount it.

Nice setup.

nice.

you're modding ur celica nicely bro, and quick I might add.

The Roadie 2 just barely does not fit into the ashtray so I took my dremel tool and cut out a little on the bottom. Now, it fits so snug that I didn't need a harness, glue, or anything.

looks good.

Super sweet... How myuch did tha whole XM setup cost ya?

yeah how much man, cause i am considering it for a christmas present for myself

My sony deck says hat its XM radio ready... I think all I have to get is the reciever and the antenna..

Very nice. did you do the install yourself? if you did, you did an excellent job.

good job

yeah mine says XM ready too... So how much for the setup?

very nice

not quite sure. My bro works at Best Buy so I was able to get a good discount. He also helped me installing it

If you have an XM ready deck all you need is to buy the XM tuner for around 149.99 and it plugs in the back of your deck, no need for an FM modulated tuner like Barrett has...Barrett Do you love XM over serius because you have a kenwood deck and you coulda got a kenwood tuner on a best buy discount for 1cent and bam you have serius satalite radio

Any questions on installs or satalite radio just PM me

Nice

did you put a neon tube behind ur AC panal or did you use film to turn it blue???

looks awesome!

def will be remounting my roady this weekend... I have mine up by the clock but that looks much sweeter good job man

No i really don't like serious, for several reasons other then the fact that they are going bankrupt XM RULES!!!

yes i used a neon tube and i also have a neon wire wrapped around in there

What is under your CD player, up top?

I'm thinking about maybe grabbing one of those XM Roady's too when I get some cash. Looks nice!

That was the first in car xm reciever that xm made. I took that out and replaced it with the ROadie 2

Wonder if mounting it there would get in the way of a 6-speed?

Serius is not going out of business...actually XM was the one who had to borrow money to get up and running(hence commercials in the beginning) serius was developed by many contributors with no loans in a sense to payback. check out stock prices over the years also (xm has been going down). ALSO, you get better service with serius vs xm (serius has 3 satilites that move in a figure 8 around the us vs xm has 2 stationary satilites at each end of the us)...

Mounting wouldnt get in the way of your shifter, great install Barrett.

Awesome. I'm definately saving up for something like this

Where did you run/mount the antenna?

And where did you tie the power in to?

The antenna is on my roof right above the windshield in the middle. It is a magnetic mount so it can go just about anywhere you want. I have to power tapped in to my current stereo harness.

Nice job!!!
BTW What did you do with the switches??

You just need to upgrade your cig lighter


Change the stock bulb (#74/37) for a blue LED
