Default Lexus-Parts XM Sat. Rad. Kit

Anyone purchased this product from Lexus-Parts before? If so, does everything work okay and is it that hard to install myself? Thanks!

Mine came installed from the factory with XM though I haven't activated it. I want to get the Sirius unit so I will probably be selling mine if your interested.

I installed XM myself in November. The hardest part is removing the plastic clips from the paneling in the trunk area. Directions are provided with the kit. Installation took about 1 hour (I was very careful).

My brother and I installed XM into my 2IS back in April of last year. Like tmf said, the hardest part is taking all of the internal panels off from the trunk area. Luckily for me, I got a micro antenna included in my kit and not the usual big antenna I've seen installed on other Lexus vehicles (the one described in the kit is probably 2" x 2" x 1/2". In the instructions they include with the kit, they also tell you to mount the antenna on the right side of the trunk lid, which makes it look uneven and really stands out. I opted to mount my antenna in the middle of the trunk lid right in front of the third brake light.

Don't forget to use the promo code to get you CL discount!!
