Installation of XM Radio Kit
#16
Lexus Champion
Hey Goldglv, how do you like the sound quality of the XM? I'm using a Skyfi2 in my Integra with an Alpine/Infinity set up and it sounds kinda flat. I was reading on XM411 something about how the bandwidth size affects the sound quality, and with them adding stations, I guess is just stretching that bandwidth to the max.
I was thinking of getting the XM receiver for my IS too, but don't want to spend all that money if it's gonna sound like ***.

I just put in a pre-order for my Sirius from lexus-parts.com. They gave me a discount as part of the pre-order. I'll let you know when they say it will ship ... or when it shows up on my doorstep.

Right now neither is a factory install. But the dealer carries the install kit (parts) for the Xm. Which means it can be dealer, port or self installed. Sirius parts(kit) is not out, so as of now no one can install it beacuse the parts are not avaible. This is for the factory plug and play system not an aftermarket setup. (some do have sirius installed by aftermarket parts)
So for the lexus Xm kit yes the steering wheel will browse threw the stations and change the volume of SAT.
