Does anyone know if there is a company that has come out with and aftermarket kit yet that interfaces Sirius digitally without having to use FM Modulator? I am upset because when I bought my car I worked out that when it was eventually available my dealer would install it for me free of charge.
I went to the dealer yesterday and just found out that Lexus has discontinued Sirius as a factory interface like XM indefinitely. XM is now the only one you can get from them that will hook up digitally and work with the factory interface.
My guess is that it has something to do with XM's exclusive contract with Toyota.

You should be able to wire the line level audio output of the Sirius unit to the auxiliary input in the armrest. The only gotcha is that you'll probably need to add a ground loop isolator.
