No but I am curious. $180 installed is cheap.

Lexus radios require AM/SAT button for compatibility; not compatible with factory-installed satellite radio

 

i have it in my car... it works just fine..... i use it with my iphone 3gs and also sirius and yes it charges the iphone...

 

JBasco20: how much did you pay and were does best buy put the wire.

 

can u keep the factory sat radio? and does the text come up on the screen?

 

nvm it will not work with oem sat radio installed

 

Labor is $50 charged. 180 retail. Cost is a hair under $85(employee discount). If you buy one off ebay you could possibly pay less. I know this because i'm researching the same one atm.

 

I bought two Sirius I simple kits from TSS-radio.com
one for our 07 ES and one for the 06 GS. They work with
the ES fine. However, a replacement is being shipped for
mine as it was not functioing well . Cost was 200 ea (reg
229.) free shipping. Installation at Bestbuy was 85.

 

text does come on the screen and mine works with aftermarket sirius kit.... i got mine off ebay as ipod and sirius and wire harness kit and had bestbuy install it.... they will put the wire anywhere you tell them to mine is in my center console...

 

Can you share any screenshots?

Can you navigate by Album, Artist and Playlist?

Is the wire in the glove box or inside the armrest compartment?

Did they insulate the box to make sure there are no rattles?

 

I had one that I recently changed for a Vais unit with video. It hooks up to the sattelaite port on the unit, is like a 10 mins set up, plug and play. 80 bucks for installation is kind of high specially when is plug and play like I said. It charges your IPOD/IPHONE, it display text and you can browse by artist, song, album,playlist. You keep all you wheel controls and the sound quality is very good( it all depends on the files you download). I'm currently selling mine for 100, let me know if you would be interested or if you have any other questions.

 

hmm, interesting option instead of the Vais unit. Might have to look into it, would love a screen shot of the interface when its on, if anyone can take a pic of it.

 

yes you can navigate through playlist and artist etc... and my cable is in the armrest console and i have no rattles....

 

Okay. I am going to get the iSimple installed in our ES350. The GS already has VAIS.
