Default GS350 w/XM

I want to get the XM on my new 350AWD, but do not want the 1 inch square antenna on the trunk.

Any other options out there for antenna install?

Car should be delivered at weeks end and I'm stoked. Obsidian w/black interior.

All the 2007 GS 350s have the new sharkfin antenna. My understanding is one of the purposes of this antenna is for those who get XM. The ugly magnetic black box is gone as far as I know.

Congrats on the awesome new car!

My dealer says they need to install the patch antenna. Any confirmation/documentation that shows the use of the shark fin?

That would be a no brainer.

Default The purpose of the Sharkfin is the XM and later...

the Lexus Link option which is sort of a built in cellphone. No more hockey puck but they probably haven't gotten the memo yet...
