I have been told by a Lexus dealer that the SAT radio conflicts with an ipod adapter and that for now both cannot be used with the factory radio. Owners have to pick 1 or the other.

I installed the factory Ipod interface and it works great. The whole job was about 1.5 hrs. The hardest part was to remove and drill the hole in the glove box. I think an easier way would be to just route the cable over the top of the glove box and not have to drill a hole or remove the glove box. This would save half of the install time.

Do you also have a Lexus satellite radio tuner hooked into your Lexus head unit. I was told you cant have both SAT radio and the ipod adapter at the same time.

I was told by the dealer that the Lexus ipod interface conflicts with the Lexus sat radio and that both cant be used on the same head unit at this time. I had the factory sat radio kit installed last week and it works well.

The Sirius Lexus kit clearly calls for the antenna to be installed on the top of the car across from the big factory antenna. It's identical to the aftermarket Sirius antenna that came with my old S50. Sticks onto the top of the car near the tailgate. This antenna should not be installed inside the car. Odd that the factory installed big rubber antenna on the back left of the car doesnt work for XM or Sirius.

There is a wider driver armrest that can be fitted to the RX that I saw on ebay. Search on Lexuc RX350 armrest and youll find it. It's $149 I think.

Lexus dealers in the East seem to be discounting all the RX350s with AWD and Premium Package $5K. Blowing out the '08 inventory. I paid $38 for a MSRP 43,313 car.

I bought the Sirius kit online for $250 and am having a local audio store install it for $200 in a week or so. I'll let everyone know how it went. $450 is a little better than $700 at the dealership.

Also there's a new iPod integration accessory that was just released for the RX. The dealer I spoke to says it conflicts with the sat radio so it should be avoided for now.
