XM install for a 2003 4runner limited w/ JBL and in-dash 6cd changer
At first I thought about going with an aftermarket head unit but I couldn't find anybody that makes a dash kit for my 4runner yet. I also don't know if anybody makes a wiring harness yet either because of the JBL amps.
So for now I think I want to go with XM. I absolutely don't want to go FM Modulation unless I have to.
The PIE and BlitzSafe adapters are supposed to work with any 2003 Toyota models w/o the navigation system but it says to use the 12 pin port for the optional 6-disc cd changer. What if my head unit IS a 6-disc changer? Will you still have the port? (I plan on calling PIE or BlitzSafe but wondered if anyone else had tried this)
Any recommendations on PIE v/s BlitzSafe?
Any recommendations on Delphi SkyFi/Roady or XM Commander?

I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say about this as well!
http://www.xmfanstore.com
there are tons of XM double din head units to replace the stock setup too.

if you go to that link, there is a pdf file for vehicle compatibility and toyota is on page 6 ... just in case that says something different.

I, too, am waiting for a more permanent solution once Scosche or someone has the adapter to put in a new head unit. For now I've got a Raody. I'm using a tape adapter and it sounds a lot better than the RF modulator in the wife's Sequoia -- but I'd rather direct connect if the Blitzsafe worked -- let us know.
If you want a Roady, you can get it for 49 bucks if you sign up for 3 months by buying it here.

Enter code XMDPHXM04
Do it quick, though -- the last code expired in like a week or so.
BTW -- I originally got this deal off http://bensbargains.net and then got the updated code at http://www.fatwallet.com -- so I'm not taking credit for it!

Interesting that you say the tape adapter sounds better. I got the impression the FM modulator would sound better - but still not as good as direct connect. You are out of luck anyway if you have the 6-disc in-dash changer. The direct connect modules are supposed to plug in at the connection for an EXTERNAL changer. So I'm pretty sure that won't exist if you have the in-dash changer.
I talked to a guy a Crutchfield and was told they would have a DIN adapter at the end of the month and the people at http://americaninternational.net/ told me the same thing. Bad news is they don't expect to have a wiring converter anytime soon to go with the JBL amps.
So to make a long story short, I think I'll just save up to buy a head unit and wait for the adapter.
