Hi great forum.
I just purchased a 2007 IS250 AWD with navigation. I tried to search but could not find the answer to the following: Can Sirius radio be installed/integrated so I can access it through the factory navigation system? What would I need and does Lexus do this install or an aftermarket place. Can the shark antennae on the roof be used? If it can be done, does anyone know how much it would cost. Has anyone had it done and does it work well?
Thanks in advance.

yes it can be installed check this link. http://www.vaistech.com/ search around for there is a guy who installed it hisself and used the shark fin

DC-250

All you need is the tuner brain and fit kit. I bought mine on lexuspartsmall for cheap and did it myself. Dealer wanted $800 to put it in, which is ridiculous. The car is pre-wired for everything, all you need to do is plug in the antenna, and a few other plugs with the harness that comes with it. Do a search for XM and you will find it, the process is the same. It took me about an hour to install it.

I have an 06' w/o the shark fin. Can we adapt to whatever the factory antenna is still?

The '06 doesn't have a factory satellite radio antenna. The installation kits for the '06 come with a trunk mounted antenna for XM, and a windshield mounted antenna for Sirius. The latter is not known for good reception.

Should I buy the sharkfin from Lexus and have it installed when I get the sirius? Or should I just use the gay sirius antenna?

Not sure how expensive the shark fin will be.
