Default Something's Wrong

So, I WILL work on NAV/ML, and on no-NAV cars, but supposedly it will NOT work on Nav with no ML?

Anyone out there with the non-ML Nav and Sirius to disprove this theory?

Installed the Sirius unit I purchased from Sewell Lexus. It was installed in an IS 250 with ML and Nav. Easy install. Works perfectly. One complaint is the Velcro mount to install the unit to the back side of the keyless entry module. The XM unit uses a bracket and would make for a better install. Thanks to everyone who researched this and shared info.

Default 2007 IS250 Nav w/o ML

Hello,

I have a IS250 Nav w/o ML and would like to install the Sirius Receiver as mentioned from this thread.

Like several members have noted, according the website, Sewell Lexus, this unit is for ML receivers ONLY, however, some members have stated that it also works with non ML Units.

Question:

Is this OEM Toyota part? Is there a part # to confirm that I have received a working unit?

Thank you

Default Short text display??

I searched around and saw some mention of the 10 character display limit, but I thought I would ask all the Sirius owners if they are seeing the same thing. When I hit text, I get 10 characters for the artist and title. Thats it. I know Sirius is transmitting the full text, because my friends Sportster receiver scrolls the whole artist and track info. I know it is not the head unit as it displays the full track and artist info from the iPod. That only leaves the receiver itself. Did they intentionally limit the display so it would work with the not NAV screens or what? For $330 bucks I was expecting a bit more...

This is the part that Sewell are selling and it says only ML PTS31-53060-01 and it costs $339.00 and I guess that is plus tax and shipping it would be great if this would work properly with non-ML.
