Despite what was previously said, YES, it will, IF it is metallized. Many of the better tint films are metallized.
The BEST place for your antenna is on your roof if you can do it.

Metallic tint will interfere with satellite (and conventional AM/FM) radio reception; if mounting an antenna on the roof isn't an option, you can go with ceramic tint (like Huper-Optik) instead of metallic and you won't have reception problems.

Default Sirius installed

My dealer told me I have the option of XM or Sirius installed in my vehicle for 595. Either one will work off the Navigation right?

I just called my dealer...and I can get it installed for $150 if I have my own kit. So i'd spend $250 in all if I get it from lexus-parts. My only concern is will it work with the nav. Cause I don't want an extra module in the car.

My mistake - the coupon was for 10%, not 20. There is no 20% off coupon.

Default SIRIUS Tuner from Pioneer??

Is there any reason that the SIRIUS tuner from Pioneer wouldn't work on my standard (Non-Nav) head unit?

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...089298,00.html

Is the connector going to be the same since they are both Pioneers, or does Lexus have unique connectors? The Pioneer tuner is available for ~$80 at Best Buy and Crutchfield. Sorry if the answer if obvious, this is my first Lexus.......

This tuner will only work with the headunits designated on the page that you quoted above. If your headunit is not in the list - fuggettabbouttit. It will not work with Lexus factory headunits if that's what you're thinking. Any headunit you have must have the ability to do Sirius command and control, that is, it must innately have the Sirius user interface software.

So does this work with the factory navigation? Some one said above a total of 250 if bought from lexusparts.com but its 299.00 for the kit alone. - 10% you still have 279 for the kit alone let alone the 150 install. So what gives on that?

Its 299 for the kit (harness, antenna, reciever).

It will need to be installed so if you dont do it yourself you will have to pay someone.
