The 200 Series always had spotty XM radio reception which got worse when I put the roof rack on. Ever since I was trying to figure out how to add an aftermarket antenna.
Thanks to @BigMF on Ih8MUD, for his work on identifying where the plug was and a great video on how to take the radio out. After seeing his post , I was a mission to find an adapter so I could use a high gain XM antenna on my truck.
After much searching, I found the adapter that is needed to use an aftermarket XM antenna on the 200 Series Land Cruiser.
www.Discountcarstereo.com makes the adapter needed for this modification.
There is a slight modification required for this adapter to work and is very minor easily performed with a sharp utility knife.
Now I can use a high gain XM antenna and eliminate all the dead zones.
The customer service is outstanding, with quick answers to my e-mailed questions. Something that is hard to find with an Internet company.
