So, maybe the newer XM OEM radio has enough gain and error correction to work in the "sub-optimal" interior location.
The Toyota factory/OEM installation instructions places the XM antenna on the rear deck inside the car on top of a ground plate. See page 10 of the attached factory install instructions, which were kindly provided by ts95403 in this thread:
