Default Is it possible and how much - upgrading radio to have SAT radio..

Have an 07 IS250 (as if you didnt know that with my other thread)...

It has the regular radio (which I prefer over the gps one) however when I hit the AM-SAT button, only am comes on. I assume there's some kind of upgrade module that it needs...any ideas ? I'm a pretty technical person, have redone both of my other car's stereos from top to bottom.

So there's that option, or this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-SIRIUS-...ht_4259wt_1139

Has anyone used this option? I searched the other thread, doesn't seem like it

I don't see directions there, but I'd guess that aftermarket kit on ebay requires taking the dash apart (and possibly running your own antenna)

The OEM Lexus kit from sewell just plugs into the trunk and works like factory with the shark fin (since it's the same parts they'd use at the factory), don't have to touch the dash at all.
