To save our members time in searching, I've decided to compile all the information we've gathered about setting up your IPODS and Satellite Radios.

Finally, there is a kit on the market you can buy.
 This is just the convertor from the xm receiver to the GX 470 (or similar models). Then any standard XM kit will work. I had everything done at Sound Advice in Florida. They had to order the convertor from sound gate in calif. Want to see if there's a sound advice or co-owned company, go to Tweeter.com. To order the convertor yourself go to soundgate.com. This page lists all the models it can be installed on. http://www.soundgate.com/upload//productdocuments/0277.pdf Lexus still refuses to acknowledge this can be done. UGH

There are actually several well integrated XM, Sirius, and iPod kits out there.

It's appears to be same piece. On the soundgate website it lists the price and tells you which model lexus it will fit. Tweeters will also order the piece and install it, for a price.. if you're a do-it-youselfer go for it. thanks, Mark |

Does anyone have any information on possibly adding an integrated Sirius in a 2003 GX 470?? I am not interested in the XM radio. I do have the navigation with the mark levinson sound.

I just purchased a 2007 GX 470 at Ray Catena Lexus of Monmouth (NJ) and had the lexus XM module installed. Very reasonable and totally integrated with the Nav/ Mark Levinson system. Hit the SAT/AM button and you get three screens of six favorites to program. Seemless, professional, installation and the antenna is about a 1" x 1 1/2" x 1/2" black box on the roof near the Lexus link antenna. For new installation you also get a 90 day free trial period from XM on Lexus XM installs

I just had Sirius installed in my 2007 rx400h. Works great, clean install...al thru nav system. No visible hardware accept the anttenna. A small round flat disc on dash in corner tucked under windsheild. I didn't even notice it for several hours after I picked up my car. I got it done at www.al-eds.com
Very Happy, very expensive! |

Hi all... new member here. I'm posting for a friend of mine who has an '04 GX470. I found the vaistech site through this post and really like the SLI (or SL2i) and am trying to convince her that this is the way to go. She has heard so many things from audio installers that there is no true integration of the iPod to an auto audio system and that the claims some of these companies make are false. I told her the SLI is not perfect, but will show the track name and basic info on the song, and give some control through steering wheel and stereo controls for the iPod.
What I am looking for is anyone in the Sacramento or surrounding suburbs (we're actually in Orangevale/Folsom area) that may have an SLI installed that she could look at to see what it can really do before she shells out $299. Can someone please email me if you live close and would like to give a quick demo of the SLI or SL2i. Really appreciate it. On a side note, does anyone know when vaistech will be doing another group buy? Thanks, Angelo |

Since it doesnt come with Sirius, are they able to install it at the dealership? |

OK so I am finally going to take the plunge and buy a Vaistech unit for my 04 Landcruiser. I do not see my vehicle on the drop down menu on the site. Am I able to install this unit to the back of my nav? Are there anymore group buy's? Which unit is the best to go with so as not to have issues?

I install the GPS in my car to help me, when I have a trip with my friend. And also install the MP3 to listen to the music!
I think it was great! chinablueangel digital |
