I am picking up my new-to-me LS 430 today and was wondering if anyone with factory Lexus Sirius radio can take a picture and post so I can see where its supposed to be mounted? Right now its dangling in the trunk area on my car.

Sorry, but I don't know how to post pics. They seem to be mounted in one of three places: 1) on the edge of the side of the trunk lid; 2) on the edge of the trunk lid centered under the rear glass; or 3) centered on the bottom of the rear glass itself (as is mine).

Thank you for the quick reply!

Should be along the left edge of the trunk, centered I think...I can snap a pic later. I had no idea what that was and asked the car salesman, what is that, was the car an Uber? He said no, they used to do that with the SAT radio...

here's a link to a pic on the forum here. I know in my case it was port installed, per the build sheet that Lexus provided..

Thanks for the link. What an odd place to mount the SAT antenna. I was wondering during the test drive why the radio kept saying connecting then I saw the antenna.
Hopefully I'll have at least the preview station for the drive home when I get there later.

You can also get a free used car trial, that's what I did...and then I just ask for $5/mo, they never say no. Actually the first was an automated offer of $25 for 5 mos. My wife gets $30 for 6 mos. less $5 (well I do that by calling)...

hmmm 2 mo. free trial now? Thought it was 3. lol

I love this place!
Yes - I typically do the 5-6 months for $25-30 deal but its a pain in the *** to remember to "negotiate" 1 week before the expiration then you're forced to argue with them a bit to get them to waive the full price tacked onto your invoice.
