Question XM Radio install instructions

Does anyone have a copy of the instructions for the XM Radio kit from Lexus. I have one on order and would like to read up on it before it arrives. If possible please email it to me.
If you did your own install how hard was it and what would you do different?


Thanks,
Monty

Lexus's installation manual is a whooping 14 pages long and it's included removing the rear bumper in order to run the antenna wire through the opening hole.
Please do the search and this subject has been talking about for more than 10 times. You will need a lot of tools and some mechanical skill to DIY. It's not hard if you got all the tools and skills. It took me 2 hrs( after do it for the 3rd time)...

VVT-i,
I already had your ( https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=157310 ) link saved to my favorites. I just wanted a copy of the 14 page manual and don't recall finding it with a search. If someone has it handy I would be happy if they emailed it to me, if not I will recieve my copy with my order.

Thanks
Monty


P.S. I have the skills and the tools to install it myself no problem.

I went to Longo about 3 weeks ago and they said they had the hardware for both SIRIUS and XM. I went on a business trip last week and my company got me a car from Avis with XM....I cant belive people pay 12.95 for that service. I listened to the local stations in Phoenix.

I agree, we have XM in our Escalade and Sirius in our CL55 and Sirius is by far better. We cancelled the service in the Caddy and I opted to wait for Sirius for the GS.

Well its hard for Sirius becaue XM chose the best name, I mean come on AM, FM, XM it just makes sense. SIRIUS has gotten a lot of exposure the past 18 months and people fail to realize that SIRIUS is 18 months behind XM in its serivce launch. Once people sit down and listen to both services they will realize SIRIUS has the better content. If anybody ever has any questions about both companies feel free to ask. I have 75K of my own money invested in both companies and I keep a close eye on what each of them are doing.
