Default Sat radio

I have a 2008 GS350 AWD with Mark Levinson sound. There is a satellite radio button, but nothing happens when I push it. Do I need to locate the number and get it activated before it'll work?

If you push the Mode button on the sterring wheel you should be SAT1, SAT2, FM, AM etc. If you don't see SAT1 then you do not have an XM receiver. You must purchase one from Lexus or another source and install it so you can receive XM reception.

If you do have SAT1, you should be on Station 1 which is just an advertisement of sort for XM. If you tune to Station 0 you will see your XM receiver # and when you call XM you give them that number to activate the service.

Well in the 07 gs 350 theres no aux out put or usb so the only other option you have is getting a tape adapter with aux port to hook up to your phone...if im not mistaken. I'd rather just subscribe and leave everything stock as much as possible.
