ReplacementRadios, one of the largest factory audio/video websites, has branched out!!   If you’ve been to our site, you know we have a HUGE selection of OEM radios and compatible accessories.  Now we’re offering a few select products here too.  Same great ReplacementRadios quality.....in a new location.

SUMMARY

DETAILS

This package will allow you to listen to and control all 175+ channels of SiriusXM satellite radio directly through your factory radio. (See the application list below.)  It can receive the Select or Premier programming. (Additional subscription fees apply for Premier.) It displays the same type of information (station #, song title, artist name, etc) as the factory satellite kits, yet it costs less.

Unlike external tuners that clutter up your dash and attract thieves, this interface allows control of SiriusXM satellite radio through your existing factory stereo. It is directly connected to the vehicle via the wiring behind the radio. Since it is directly connected, you don't have to rely on the poor performance of an FM modulator or cassette adapter. It does, however, make your in-car USB port inactive while you are using satellite radio. But it is available when you're in other modes. (CD, FM, etc.)

This has the added advantage of converting your existing factory USB port to 2.4 amp fast charge technology. This allows for quicker charging on devices that support that capability. Only the Gen2 GSR devices support this. If the other guy's ad doesn't mention it, you're probably buying the older Gen1 device.

How does this differ from their GSR-TY01 product?  This GSR-TY51 is designed to plug in behind the radio, where-as their GSR-TY01 plugs in the factory USB port on your dash (or in your console.)  Unlike this GSR-TY51, you don't have to remove the radio to install their GSR-TY01, but you do have to tap into power and ground wires with the GSR-TY01, which you don't have to do with this GSR-TY51.  Finally, this GSR-TY51 costs a little more than the GSR-TY01 because of the additional T-harnesses that are included and the fact it upgrades your USB port to fast charge capability. (The fast-charge upgrade is an optional, extra-cost cable with their GSR-TY01.)

INSTALL INFO

How's it installed?  You pull your factory radio, remove a few plugs from the back, plug the included T-harness in line between the radio and the plugs you removed, connect the T-harnesses to the included GSR interface, plug the included USB adapters in behind the radio, plug the included SiriusXM tuner into the GSR interface and route the antenna.  Everything but the antenna is mounted out of sight behind the dash.

As mentioned above, it also converts your factory USB to 2.4A fast charging technology. It also makes your in-car USB port inactive while you're listening to satellite radio.
Please email us if you require more information.

APPLICATIONS

This kit will not work for some 2014 Camry and RAV4 applications. Please see the notes below the application list if you have one of those two models. In the other vehicles listed, this GSR should work for all 2014 models. It is only 2014 Camry and RAV4 applications that could be a concern. *Unfortunately Toyota changed their radios mid-year in these models in 2014. There doesn't appear to be a guaranteed way to tell if you have a 2014 or a 2014.5. As a general guideline, if you have a 2014 Camry or RAV4, you need to check your build date. (This is usually found on a sticker on one of the door jambs.) If your build date is after 1/1/2014, it is often considered a 2014.5 and this is probably the kit you need. If yours was built before 1/1/2014, you probably need the SL3SAT-SXV200 kit instead. Please take great care when installing your kit if you have a 2014 Camry or RAV4. If you find you need to exchange it, it (and the packaging) will still need to be in perfect condition.
