[QUOTE=ATLIS350;2604224]no, installation is super easy though.[/QU
How long does it take to install it?? Well i have one more question, I have the 07 IS350 and when i went to my dealer and asked him about the XM radio hes said that it would be $600. So i asked why sooo much he said that they have to remove the head unit and do something so its integreted with the screen. Is this ture or is he leiing so he can get some money.

My dealer asked for $700 for the same install. I don't get it. Lexus said it is a less than $5oo option.

[QUOTE=IS250 4 Me;2637854]Buy it online at lexus-parts.com for 290ish shipped. Install it yourself. End of story. Why contact the dealer when they rip you a new one?????

[QUOTE=gsrthomas;2637867]yea but the thing is that the Dealer said that they have to take apart the front unit to interraget the system with the XM. I bet you that there is a pug in the back so when you go to pug it in its just eaxy as PLUG AND PLAY.

Yup install is in the truck. Dont have to touch the head unit.
Dont listen to the dealer. They are there just to make an profit.
I'm going to order my XM kit soon and install it myself.

You can go to lexus-parts.com, and look at the install instructions there in adobe foremat . The way I understand it '07's already have the XM antenna in the sharkfin all you have to do is plug it in, the new kits don't even send an antenna

[QUOTE=gsrthomas;2637867]I actually wanted it when I bought my new IS about a month ago. I did not get it installed from the dealer. I hesitate to put after market stuff on my car, especially from the dealer.
