Default Lexus iPod OEM integration / Satellite radio conflict

Hi,
I already have the oem ipod integration kit installed on my is350 w/ ml nav. I understand that it would conflict with the satellite radio. But can I just install the satellite radio unit in the trunk and disconnect my ipod for it to work? Or would I have to uninstall the entire integration unit?

Thanks

Simply disconnecting your iPod won't do the trick as satellite radio and the OEM iPod adapter both use the same input on the head unit. You can only have one or the other.

Or just dump them both and get the units from VaisTech then you can have both. They are having a group buy this month! OEM is not always the best.

Better if going that route would be the VAIS for the ipod and the OEM XM receiver since it'll integrate better with both the head unit and the antenna (and the OEM XM unit works fine with the VAIS ipod unit)
