My RX 350 radio: Is it XM only?~
Happy Friday.
I just got my 9 year old RX350 a few weeks ago. I finally sold my old car and transferred my old Sirius account to the Lexus.
With the transfer I only get "XM" stations.. and not Sirius Stations.
To be perfectly transparent: I can't get Howard Stern in my RX 350 and I'm not happy.
How do I remedy this? I want Sirius and NOT XM.
Do I need a new radio? Separate tuner? THANKS

You need to contact Sirius XM. It is probably something on their end or your account with the new vehicle.
It should receive all the Sirius XM stations but they do have different levels of subscriptions and that may have changed or been screwed up when you transferred your account.

There are two different channel ranges, XM tops out at around 250 while Sirius tuners extend up to around 450,
Neither is inclusive of every numbered frequency, Sirius has considerable gaps in the 300 and 400 ranges.
Lexus tuners until the 2019 ES and 2020 nearly everything else but GX & LX had the smaller selection XM setup.
Chrysler and VW and other have had the larger Sirius setup.
There is no part numbers to replace the previous generation radio head with a newer "broad band" Satellite tuner.
OP - receiving Howard Stern is available on all tuners of any Gen provided you are not subscribed to the "Family Friendly"
or "News" only limited plans.
