  1. The dealer relocated the xm antenna today to the rear shelf. I am a lot happier now without that ugly thing on the trunk. No problems at all with the signal. Why can't Lexus be like most other manufacturers who have XM and Sirus ready radios have the shark fin or some other system other than a dealer installed antenna. This is ridiculous!!! I enjoy my XM on my 05 ES330 but still hate the ugly toothbox size antenna the dealer installed on the truck. I will probably buy and 08 this month and ask to have the antenna installed on the rear deck but Lexus needs to resolve this as it detracts from the appearance of the car! Doesn't Lexus have the shark fin antenna on other models?
  2. Still haven't pulled the trigger. Waiting to sell my wife's Saab. How's the reception??? Thanks.
  3. Thanks, I saw this on the Lexus website: http://www.lexus.com/models/ES/detailed_specifications.html Scoll down to "Audio & Entertainment" - "Antenna". My guess is that the satellite feature for the "In-glass satellite with FM-diversity" is used for Navigation but it would be great if it could also be used for the XM radio.
  4. Can someone help me? I have an 05 ES330 with XM Radio and have an ugly trunk mounted XM antenna. I am looking at an 08 and the audio features list the antenna as "Antenna - In-glass satellite with FM-diversity feature" yet every dealer I've talked to in the Boston area says that XM will still require the ugly dealer installed trunk mount version. Doesn't the feature list make it sound like the in glass antenna will handle the satellite reception? This is now one of the only "luxury" cars that requires a dealer installed antenna that spoils the look of the car. HELP?
  5. Does anyone have XM in the ES330. I recently installed and enjoy the non-commercial but have issues with the fade out when I go under bridges. Does anyone else experience the same thing? I'd be interested in hearing feedback.
