Forgot to mention that I, of course, have the navi system with ML on my ES 330. Thanks again.

That is fantastic news. Am going to copy your post and bring it to my dealer. Now, after this if they still have a problem I may ask you to forward the name of your dealership along with contact info IE, phone number, etc. so someone from my dealership's service department can speak to someone from your service department. Many thanks once again.

Steve, That would be super. Hope you can gtet someone to come on soon. Yes, I know, my dealer acts like I am a Martian for even suggesting that they do a little checking on their end to see if the kit will work. Guess it must be asking them to do too much work . . . or something. Will be watching for someone to clear up this fog a bit.

I have followed other threads on this and other forums concerning the availability of XM Radio for the ES 330. From what I understand the head units in the Lexus Ls and Toyota Solara and Prius models are the exact same. If that is true then why has no one been able to have the Lexus or Toyota kits installed in their ES's yet? My own dealer says that the kit for the LS will not work in my ES, but give me no explanation as to why it will not. Are the head units indeed the same? If so, then is there anyone out there who knows of documentation that states this unequivivally? Last, has anyone had their dealer install the XM kit in their ES 330? Thanks in advance for any response.

Call me chicken, but there seems to be too many unknowns here for me. Will stick with the stock filter for the time being, but can always do something in the future if I see more definitive evidence to do so. Thanks to everyone for all of the comments.

Food for thought - rethinking putting K & N filter in the car. Much thanks.

Will be putting K & N air fileter in my ES 330. I know I have to disconnect the battery in order for the engine computer to re-set for new air-fuel ratios to take effect. What other settings will I loose, if any?
