Hey KCCrassh and/or Kaslead,
What is the latest with the Sewell Sirius unit for ML and hooking it up to the Fin? One of you was in contact with some dude on another forum that was maybe going to produce one (cable/attachment) for you. Just wondering and if not..What do I need to do to hook up the Sewell/Sirius unit to my fin??
Not having Sirius and not having a plug and play solution is getting real freakin old.
I know I can use the pill box antenna on the trunk or rear lid and so on, but I don't want to settle for that if I can use the damn fin!
It seems like it my be easier to get NFL and Howard to move to XM than getting Sirius in my freakin Lexus.
Thanks for any more help you can give me/us

It takes some work, but it allows you to use the sharkfin. KCCraash has the same setup, although a Lexus dealer fixed his connector.
The guy on the other forum said he could make an adapter, but it would be expensive (parts only were ~280) since he had to buy a wiring harness from Lexus.
So, it can be done, it just requires some parts, tools, and work. There is no plug-n-play solution that I know of for Sirius with the sharkin.

First off, yes, I have read this entire thread (much of it more than once) and don't think I found this specific question addressed: Has anyone with a 2006 IS (non-sharkfin) with nav. but not ML used the Sewell kit? They have two kits listed (one with ML and one without) The one without is part #PTS31-53070-01. I noticed their site includes installation instructions for the part that is for ML systems, but not for the part that is non-ML, which makes me a little wary about ordering. Anyone?

Guys, this may be a dumb question but does anyone have pics of the connection from the Sirius unit to the car? If I remember correcty the Sirius unit has an input for Antenna, Power, and an output for the vehicle interface. I assume the Lexus XM solution being PnP hooks right in. What are you doing for Sirius? Do all the same connections exist on that unit as well?

Update.
I FINALY got my integrated Sirius receiver for the NAV/ML system working
I got the unit through Swell Lexus. They sent me the wrong unit the first time. It worked a bit at first, enough to activate the unit but then began to rarely work. It became obvious that the unit did not fit the system so Sewell sent me out a new unit and this one works perfect.
Sewell has now taken this unit off the website as they have run out. Since Lexus has gone the XM route, it is doubtful that receivers to fit the older models will continue to be produced. Why would they? If I'm not mistaken, the receiver I have installed was designed for the ES.
