Installing Sirius Radio

[Bigla]

We have a subscription to Sirius. Dealer wants $500 to install system and have it integrated with our radio and nav screen system. Is $500 too much. Would it be ok to find an outside audio tech to do the job or does it require Lexus technicians? Your input will be appreciated.

$500 is expensive but still cheap for what a dealer would charge for that sort of thing. You will be fine with an outside tech doing it. Just call Vais and im sure they can send you to a local vais dealer.

Sorry to thread jack, but i have a question.

If you go to the dealer and have this thing installed for $500, do you need to pay any annual fee to hear the radio? If so, how much are the additional costs?

After finding out the cost of having a kit installed, I ordered the an XM kit from eBay and installed it myself using the instruction manual provided online. It wasn't a cake walk, but it wasn't bad....just took a while to do. But the system works great & the effort was well worth not having to pay that kind of money. (I also have a Nav sys.).
