another port/dealer installed XM question
I found out the kits dealers are using are Delphi; can anyone that had XM pre-installed confirm it *is* an integrated kit? No FM modulator crap...is it line-level input with all the data showing up on the factory radio?

I called my Lexus dealer and they told me it's gonna cost $1300 for install and 6 months of service included.

Although my IS is non-nav. my port installed XM is fully integrated. No difference in controlls etc. from the FM. Cost per sticker for port install - $487. The price you were quoted seems ridiculous to me. 
I'd go to another dealer.
I'd go to another dealer.

I'm just gonna order the kit from one of the sponsors of this site ($270 + shipping) and install it myself. If it's anything like the one on my G, it'll take 45 minutes to git 'er done.

I'm looking to do the same thing, ....just called the local dealer, they wanted $438 for the kit, then another $115 an hour to install it (at 3 hours). Yikes!
