Default XM radio sound quality

How is the sound quality on the xm radio for ML and non ML people? For the ones who had it installed with the car, does the volume and sound quality seem decreased at all?

Mine is just fine. Loud and clear, no issues.

your XM install if done by lexus shouldnt be a factor at all period when it comes to sound quality. some channels sound 'digitally' but thats compression. some sound terrific. some are just good or ok. thats the nature of digital transmission at this point whether its XM or directv or anything in between. unless you need an eargasm to enjoy music or sound you should be happy. mine doesnt have ML but my LS had XM with ML and my TL had it with the ELS system. you should be fine.

Default Lexus XM Display

For those with the ML system and installation of the Lexus XM receiver/antenna kit at the dealer, do you find the display of information to be complete? I think there are three SAT categories of six presets for each one, totalling a potential of 18 presets. Does the display show the current song and artist information for each of the presets so you can see on one screen all six of the SAT category chosen? If not, what does the display show? Many thanks.
