Default Got my new GS yesterday! With Sirius!!!

Just took delivery of my GS350 yesterday.

The best part is the port-installed Sirius radio! I thought only XM was available but I was able to change my order.

Signal/reception is as good as it was in my portable Sportster replay and no sound level difference as people reported with the VAIS unit. Also when you change the station is pops up on the NAV map, people said this doesnt happen with the VAIS unit.

I love the car! except for the stupid yokohama advans.

Make sure to give us a daily update Lets see if you still going to luv it tomorrow

With a port installed Sirius, how many characters do you get on the screen? Previously, there was an annoying limitation of only 10. BTW, even so I have an option with my Vais SLS to wire into sharkfin (custom hookup), I switched to rear shelf under the window dot antenna. Placed it there, securing with double-sided tape, its right in the middle on the shelf. There is no difference between sharkfin, dot antenna inside, or dot antenna outside - reception is the same. Of course, I still get a brief drop outs going under the bridges or in a heavy treed areas, but other than that I don't know how would I live without Howard in my morning and afternoon commute

Congrats. How did u get sirius, was it through the dealer or an after market thing. I'm getting an 07GS350 AWD and I ordered the 18" spider wheels. As a "favor" the dealer is keeping the stock 17"wheels and tires and giving me XM for free. I would rather have Sirius but didn't think it was an option.
