The Toyota RAV4 is one of the best-selling SUVs in the country, and if yours is a 2022, 2023, or 2024 model, great news: it came from the factory with a satellite-radio-ready stereo. That means adding SiriusXM is not a complicated upgrade — it’s simply a matter of connecting the right OEM adapter.
What You’ll Need
- A Toyota SiriusXM satellite radio kit from OEM Auto Integration (specifically designed for your RAV4’s head unit)
- A SiriusXM satellite antenna (included with most kits or sold separately)
- Basic hand tools (typically just a trim removal tool)
- About 30 minutes
Step-by-Step Overview
Step 1: Check Your Radio
Look at your RAV4’s factory head unit. If it has a “SiriusXM” or “SAT” button that currently shows no signal or a “subscription required” message, your stereo is already primed and waiting. If there’s no satellite button at all, you may have an earlier trim level — contact us and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Step 2: Install the Antenna
The SiriusXM antenna needs to be mounted on your roof or rear window (rear glass mounting is less visible). Route the antenna cable through the door seal or the A-pillar down to the dashboard. The antenna is flat and magnetic — most drivers barely notice it.
Step 3: Connect the OEM Adapter
Behind your RAV4’s head unit, there is a pre-wired satellite radio port. Our OEM adapter plugs directly into this port using the factory connector — no splicing, no cutting wires. Then connect the antenna cable to the adapter. That’s it.
Step 4: Push Everything Back
Reattach your trim panels, power on the radio, and press the SAT or SiriusXM button. You should now see SiriusXM channel listings on your factory display.
Step 5: Activate Your Subscription
Call SiriusXM at 1-888-539-7474 or visit siriusxm.com to activate or transfer your subscription to your new radio ID.
