Lexus switching to Sirius?

Lexus switching to Sirius?
Did a search and didn't really come up with anything. I picked up my IS on Saturday (also got the clear bra from Aerotect, write up coming later) and my sales rep told me to come back another day for a free Sirius hookup. I thought Lexus was using XM? Also, has anyone installed satellite radio after the fact? I haven't really determined whether I want to get it installed, but if it is fully integrated into the center stack (don't want to see any wires or anything like that), I might consider it.

i have been waiting for the sirius to come out as well because i do not want XM, it just never happened (had my car for about a year now).
I would really like it if i could get sirius integrated into the nav, just like the factory can give you XM. Anyone have any info on this? Or was this another sales rep that didnt know much from his left and right foot???

Just by an '06 IS and you can have your choice of Sirius or XM - and you can ask the dealer to hide your antenna from view.
I chose to have XM installed in my '06, and the antenna is completely hidden from view. It's nice to have XM without the fin.

I have a 2006 IS250 with NAV and I installed the Sirius myself over the past weekend. There is a cable, like a Y adapter with 10 pins that one side plug into the stock radio and the other side goes into the Sirius brain, then you will also have to run an antenna which I placed below the rear windshield. There are different type or version of Sirius with different number on the brain and different design on the antenna. The old antenna are kinda huge in a triangle shape which double side taped to the front windshield, but the one that I am using now is the newer verstion, like the size of your fob remote key which can be place on the dash or mount it on the trunk. It took me like 45 mins for everything, nothing too difficult.
If anyone in SoCal area, I will be happy to show anyone who is interested.

Is your setup fully integrated into your navigation screen? If so, I would be interested in details of your setup. I live in Texas, so I wouldn't be able to see it in person.
