Hitch is the same as for the RX 330. Available on commercial websites (e.g. drawtite-hitches.com) for about $135, without wiring harness. I'm told you can also order it from the dealer and install it yourself, for $260. Dealer installed mine for $615 including wiring harness (plug-in jack making it easy to plug in trailer lights). Higher cost due to Lexus markup to their dealers. It's a 2" hitch, which works with most bike racks.

For get it. I was told by Vista Lexus and Keyes Lexus that the radio was a direct feed. That means that you install an XM module and the XM radio stations can be seen on the radios lcd screen. After I purchased my 400H I put the screws to the service manager and got the answer that I've stated above. NO NO NO NO. I have a 5 year contract with XM. & no use of it. Great lexus engineering. I've found many other issues that should not be on an expensive auto.

My (speciality) shop which installs all kinds of electronics, installed an XM unit and note that is was put in to the rooftop (eyeglass) swinging unit so that it is out of sight; a beautiful installation without a hitch of problem and works beautifully.
They used a smaller radio unit that has all of the bells and whistles but has a smaller handprint for the location chosen.

Has anyone successfully used either of the two Verizon bluetooth units successfully in the 400h?

Yes, the Motorola V710 pairs and works fine. I would expect the E815 to work just the same.

I used an outside system Garmin 2610, about $500-$600 but it is far better than the Lexus installed system with far more detail and higher definition screen. It has an included mount-bag with sits very well on the dash, stable.

How does the Garmin compare to the Alpine used by Honda?
