Unhappy XM Fit Kit

Hello,

It seems that I'm told that Lexus no longer offers the XM Radio Fit kit any longer. I can find the Tuner everywhere, but can't seem to locate the Fit Kit anywhere.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find it, or does anyone have one they want to possibly sell?

Thanks!

I just purchased a used 2008 IS250 and have run into the same problem. Were you able to find anything or does anyone know where I can purchase a Fit Kit?

Thanks!

@DEWIS350 - the site says that it has also been discontinued

Does anyone have any other information or have any suggestions on how to get around not having the fit kit? I already have the tuner and would love to be able to actually use it.

Thanks!

It wasn't discontinued when he made the post.

Anyway, pretty much the only option now for XM is something like a VAIStech adapter. I just had one installed in an 08 IS. I also requested the shop use their sharkfin adapter so that it uses the built-in satellite radio antenna. Looks factory.

Does anyone have any sources on where to find a used IS 250 fit kit? Can't find anything on ebay, etc.

I miss having XM(subscriber since XM was launched)... Lets face it FM pretty much sucks nowadays it kinda feels like theres a void in life even thou I have 5k songs on my iphone. The XM app takes a minute too long to load for me to like it enough to pay $100+ yr for that.
