Default Sirius Radio with Nav

I am thinking of getting Sirius for my IS250, but I want to be able to work it through my nav system. I am not sure what radio to buy from Sirius that will allow me to do this. Does anone know? and does anyone where I can see a video with it in action?

Thanks for the help!!!

Is XM ok?

because the factory XM tuner is easy to install, goes entirely in the trunk, and can be done in an hour all plug and play.

The factory Sirius one is a pain in the rear, installs under your passenger seat, and requires opening the dashboard up to install it.

Since the merger they're virtually identical content anyway for most stuff.

Just remember the 2006 does not have the shark fin antenna and you might have extra work to do, such as running an antenna to the third brake light inside--but if I get XM, it is worth the Lexus one!

Thanks for the info! This may be a dumb question, but what part will I need to do this? or what is the name of the model part that I need? and Will this work with my nav system like in this video?
