XM antenna on a 2006 GS
Does anyone have instructions on how to get an XM antenna under the package shelf, parcel shelf, the place under the rear window? There are great DYI instructions for the pre-2006 but I can't find ones for the 2006. I want to put the XM antenna under the spot to the left or right of the high brake light, to the rear of the sun shade.
I got mine at Ray Catena Lexus in NJ and they put it under the shelf in the back. Reception is OK, but not as good as on the roof. I hear there is a new antenna on the Japan version that is a small mast on the roof that looks better than the box. I don't know if we can get it here.

That looks very nice and because of the rear headrests you won't see it in the rearview mirror. I located the two holes where the XM radio is suppose to be mounted in the trunk last night and mounted the radio receiver. I'm taking pictures of this as I go along. I still can't see how to get up from the trunk to the package tray. I'm going to work on this in the light over the weekend.
Here is where I ran the XM antenna from the inside of the trunk to the inside of the car. You can see this spot when you take of the right side panel. That wire bundle is behind the passenger backseat.. If you put you hand between the molding and the seat you can feel the wire bundle. I then just pushed the cable into the side of the molding on the package tray, around the glass and then up half way between the high brake light and the side.
