Kort Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 I have just installed the factory XM radio in a 2004 LS430 and put the large antenna in the center rear section of the trunk lid. It's not too attractive so I am wondering, is it possible to use the existing satelite navigation antenna to also receive the XM signals? and if yes whats the proper proceedure?
my ls430 Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 no it is not. although if u get the micro xm antenna then it wont look "so"bad ls430
SW03ES Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Nope, antennas are designed for two seperate functions.
Kort Posted July 13, 2004 Author Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks for the confirmation, thats what I suspected otherwise Lexus would have done it. I have ordered the Terk Xmicro and the Y adapter to go from the old twin lead to the newer single lead system. I am hoping to work the cable around the rear window and mount the unit behind the satelite antenna.
SW03ES Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 That shouldn't be hard depending on where they mounted the reciever.
