Guys i was reading the manuel and it says to hold the am/SAT button and it will give you CHxxx. It says to change it to CH000 and it will give you a registration code so when you sighn up for XM you will have to use that number. For some reason when i hold that button nthing appears. Do i have to take it to my dealer to get the XM settings?????

 

XM module. $400 installed from lexus...

 

so they charge $400 extra for XM radio, wow. So you went there and what did they put in your car that made it recieve XM wavelengths

 

He already told you: the XM module. It's only $299 if you install it yourself: http://www.lexus-parts.com/partdetai...bCategoryID=99

 

oh ok thanks. I thougt i already had that since the dealer told me that shark fin will pick up XM radio.

 

Damn they overprice that like no other. My XM Kit for my ES350 for employee pricing was $125, I think regular is $299, but the dealer wanted $700. I went to a local stereo shop to have it installed for $80

 

I went to the lexus dealer yesterday and i asked how much for the XM radio and he told me $600. Do you guys think its really worth this much??? how much did you guys get your radio for???

 

Really.. I know some people who work at lexus... I have to ask what they can get it for me for... Thanks for the heads up man!

 

Oh, and keep in mind that its 13 bucks a month to use! I think thats way over priced, but it sure does beat FM radio...

 

Negotiated It - Got it for $41,000

If the XM is already installed the Registration Numer should appear on the screen when you are looking at CH000

 

sewell lexus has it for less 289 shipped with a GB discount code... i can't find that code for you but after you get it take it to a local shop and have it installed... from what i understand it's easy as plug and play.

once you find the discount code let me know.

 

Yep thats what it looks like. Sewell has the instructions posted with the item and they dont look that bad at all to install. I would def be doing mine. I think it was about 287 shipped from them though after the 10% CL discount.

 

well when i asked him said that its about $600 with installation. And he said that they have to take apart the screen and hook it throu there. Is this correct?????

 

The price if it comes with the car is $486, so I wouldn't expect if the dealer installed it it would be any less than that. In that case $600 is probably what you should expect. But if you can do the install yourself go ahead and do it, and save some money.

The value is up to the invidual to assess. I find the $13/mo charge very fair for what it gives you. It sure beats the garbage you find on commercial FM.

 

$400 ?!
