Sat radio volume low
This has been mentioned on other Lexus model forums, but for those who have installed either the XM or Sirius kit (either LX or ES) is the sound on the SAT a bit lower than FM or CD? Some say this is normal and some say they hear no difference.
I installed the 05 LX kit (XM kit 0120) in my 05 GX.
The quality of sound is good, but I have to increase the volume quite a bit to get it where I want it to be. Otherwise it works perfectly.

I was actually looking for somewhere to increase the output volume on the SAT unit, but did not see anywhere. Can you provide me more details? Is there some manual control on the unit itself? Is it somewhere in the setup on the nav screen?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I found that I had to crank the radio volume to close to 40 to hear the XM. If I forgot to turn down the unit prior to switching to the CD or FM, it would blow my ears.

He said XM from what I read...I misread your post and thought that you had the VAIS unit. I don't think that we have the same unit. However, to turn up the volume in the SLX XM unit I go the Audio function of the NAV Unit.
2) Press 'SCAN' button 8 times to enter into input mode
3) Activate 'SCAN' on your head unit.
4) Use scroll up or down to increase volume from 01 to 31.
5) Deactivate 'SCAN" function
6) Press 'SCAN' 8 times in a row to exit.

I do recall an XM tab in the service menu of the Nav system, but I did not go into it. I wonder if anyone has noticed any such option in the service menu. I have a Sirius kit in my 03 BMW 330i and the sound quality is much better than what I have in my GX; I do not have to adjust the volume in the BMW.
