Review on 🔌 VAIS Technology GSR-TY51 SiriusXM Satellite Radio Upgrade Adapter for Select Factory Toyota Radios: Enhance Compatibility by Kendrick Dooley

Took two hours to install on my 2019 Prius. There is no real problem. If you know how to change the oil and brake pads on your car, you can do the installation. The biggest problem is routing the antenna cable from the front of the car to the back. The VAIS GSR-TY51 technology works as advertised. It shows artist, song title and channel on the factory radio display, very simple. The score is displayed in the middle of 3 lines of text. (Would it be so difficult to use a different font?) No display of game period or remaining time of period. What he does, he does very simply. You cannot set the channel directly. If you are on channel 210 and want to set 024, it will take some time to turn the knob. Yes, there are presets. Actually quite a lot. There was not enough information in the manual to clearly show which wires are disconnected from the radio's head unit. Five cable harnesses are attached to the rear of the head unit (factory radio). They are very similar. I agree that it is not possible to connect the cables incorrectly. The question "Which connectors should I choose?" I spent 10 minutes trying to find the right pair of connectors. A diagram or photo with arrows indicating which two connectors to use would be very helpful. The sound quality is excellent. The steering wheel remote control is excellent. Better than an aftermarket dash radio? Absolutely. For nearly $400 for a VIAS unit and a SiriusXM radio, I would replace the head unit to get satellite radio if such a unit was on the market. One might think that with a VIAS unit there are more resources in the device and a good software development team could improve the VAIS technology adapter and create a stunning display.
