I just got a new module for my ls 430 from vaistech that will replace the current module installed in february. can anyone who has had theirs replaced tell me what the upgrade entails insofar as new features/capabilities is involved if any?

Default What Year

Your profile lists a 2004 LS430, while your signature line lists a 2001 LS430. Which vehicle did you put this Vaistech XM unit in?

I have an '02 LS, and I would love to add XM. The Vaistech unit seems the best way to go, but I'm not convinced it would work in an '02.

Thanks,
Rob

there is no difference between 01 and 02 i think. so if it works for 01 i think it should work for 02

it works great, its just that mine is an early unit with a few bugs. its installed as an md changer so that I get the xm text. apparently you can have it installed so its seen as another cd changer and it allows you allegedly to store presets instead of seeing the text.
