are you talking about the fin looking ones on the newer audis, etc. or the magnetic ones that actually come with xm setups. those things suck for your paint, if they are not mounted just right or u get a spec of dirt under them when your putting it on, water will get in somehow, ALWAYS does, and eventually it WILL rust. thats why i had them install my xm antenna and my gps receiver for my eclipse AVN all inside the car.... like the other guy said though, why!?! xm's only $12 a month, if youve already got your lex you can probably afford that, its less than the cost of 1/4 tank of gas where i live haaha

Since i don't particurlarly like XM radio, but my reception sucks for my radio now, is there any way that i could use an outside antenna, such as the one's for xm, to help reception for my stock radio?

That seems like it would be exactly what i'm looking for. I just live in a ****ty area, and don't get great reception. Plus, i think the Nav. might have something to do with it. Thanks for the advice, i will check with my audio guy.

Ok, here's the deal. I checked with my audio guy and he said that wth my navigation screen, that the high power antenna deal wouldn't work. Basically what he said is that i'm screwed! Anyone got any other options?

did your audio guy mention exactly what he was talking about as to why this would be an issue? this is an am/fm antenna im talking about, if you currently have am/fm radio in your car which im sure you do regardless of whether or not it is coming in clearly...you still have it and its not interfering with your navi right now is it! all this is is a larger window mounted antenna, its not a huge volt/wattage emitting thing, its just a larger version of the little antenna wire you currently have poking out of the back of your stereo which attaches to your vehicles existing antenna, about 14 inches long, the mounting base in the middle with the antenna fins on either side...this wont do a thing to your navi...hopefully your audio guy wasnt from best buy or something like that, you cant trust those guys far as you can throw them. im going to go grab the part number and name of the exact part im talking about, any legitimate car audio install place will be able to get a hold of one of these, and i can assure you they wont try to tell you it will screw with your navigation. theres a possiblity that the way you described it to him that he might have mistook what you were asking for, which would have led him to give you the response that he did..heres that part information and even a link to buy the exact part im talking about that i have installed on one of my cars and is working perfectly...the other picture i gave was a little off, this is the exact model along with a link on where you might be able to order it:
